Réveille-Moi! Marcillac Fer Servadou 2021

Slightly bitter cherry leather strap, with the lightest touch of forest undergrowth. An unobjectionable natural wine (nw) for nw freaks like me. Not a raver but very good nonetheless and may please your more conventional friends at the same time. Fancy that. — a month ago

Cuvée XIX Brut Champagne Chardonnay - Pinot Noir Blend

For the fruit lovers, the yeasty boys, the acid freaks.

An even split of apple cores, mealy pear, luscious cherries, crusty sourdough, lemon and spice. Personality and complexity and layers to dissect - in the aromas, elegantly expressive. In the palette, powerful, concentrated, long.

Something for everyone.

Revolution Wines

White Solera White Blend

Wine Mouth on Good Friday. Deep, complex nose. Beeswax, apricot. Textured. Good wine.

The NV White Revolution (L1-1307/16) is a wine for Jura freaks. Based on a solera started in 2013 with Riesling and enriched with intracellularly fermented Chardonnay (in 500-liter amphorae) and Scheurebe, the yellow-golden wine opens with a clear, intense and spicy bouquet with ripe fruit aromas. Slightly creamy but also pure and piquant, this is a dense and well-structured white that is intense and fresh but lacks style and direction and fails to speak to me, although it's really good. RP87

Halenberg GG Riesling 2019

‘19s are finally ready to rock in my humble opinion. Always a banger. How do you describe Riesling to a noob? Massive acidity and minerality. But in a good way. Lemon, pineapple, petrol, maripan notes. But in a good way. You know what? Don’t bother. More for us german freaks. — 2 years ago

Chablis Chardonnay 2019

Soft Chablis to disappoint the acid freaks, but I like it - sitting refreshingly in a delicate state of zen. Soft textures, riper fruit and bit of zip. This isn't nuanced or challenging, but it's very well all in balance. Aromas of smoke and floral accents just barely there. Acid restrained by a generous dollop of cream. Yellow and green apple without a give one way to sour or sweet but hitting it right on the mark right in the middle. — 3 years ago

Multiple layers going on here! One of my fellow wine freaks said: “great funk on the nose, tastes of plum & cherries.” — 3 years ago

San Bartolomeo Dolcetto d'Alba 2020

You stick your nose in the glass and you’d swear that you’re in the vineyard squishing grapes between your fingers.
The earth comes up a bit, very gentle tannins tug at your inner cheeks. Lush and light simultaneously. For label freaks, more for your money. There’s hints at herbs around the edges, but this is pure grape bliss. With fatty foods, the acidity cuts right through.
Thanks @FassSelections

Domaine Tatsis

Goumenissa Red Blend 2007

Where all my Γουμένισσα freaks at!?!!? Very barolo like with tobacco, mushrooms, smoke, and some violets. Ripe since it is 15 years old, probably drink soon but tastes very nice right now! — 2 years ago

@Ryan Colthorp You ranked it 0.1 below me at 8.9. I didn’t realize you had had it when I bought it so go team!

Horst Sauer

Escherndorfer Lump Silvaner S. 2017

very snappy lemon bar mineral-laden acid trip with the viscosity of khiels face serum and a trace of honey on the finish. this is a lovely wine. get over yourself if the bottle freaks you out. loves an oven roasted endive which coaxes out some bitter melon notes and puts a highlighter on the illusion of effervescence. well played. — 3 years ago
