Pechstein GG Riesling 2014

Intensely mineral nose, like Hercules wrung our the rocks. Deep citrus pith and green apple fruit too. So intense and mineral in the mouth. Salty. Very little fruit, but still a friendly style. Gorgeous! Nice treat to have my bro open this after a hellish 9 hour trip from DC to West Hartford . — 6 years ago

Hercules Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

This 2019 is the Montepulciano d’ Abruzza I’ve been waiting for for over a decade . A perfectly balanced gem. Leather and cherry aromas , bright fresh cherry fruit. Snappy finish. Perfect at $17. Per bottle — 2 years ago

Winninger Brückstück Riesling 2016

Needs an hour decant at least at this point. My guess is it needs 2 years to really strut its stuff. A baby Hercules. Incredible coiled power at this point. You can feel it more than taste it. Incredible spice. Lemon pith. Mineral. Petrol. Really saturates the palate. Hints of green Apple but mere hints. Has a weight like Kellers hubacker but more restrained. Almost like really really great meursault. A new Star is born. Stock up. — 6 years ago

Hundsrück Trocken Spätburgunder ,,J" 2012

This is unknit right now. Baby Hercules. Nose is still a bit woody. But if you peer under the covers it has it all. Dense fruit. Spice. Acidity. Length. Clings to the palate. Awesome texture. A thing of beauty. This rating is a low end of what this should be. The freshness of this wine given the density is astounding. Crazy dense length. Like squint your eyes in disbelief length. It should be epic in 2-3 years. One if the great vineyards of Europe. Old school. Bought from fass selections. — 6 years ago

Cote de Lechet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

This has gone from baby Hercules to brilliant but slightly spastic toddler. The genius is evident but the wine is in an awkward phase. You can tell it has the stuff of over the top greatness from the nose which ... sadly is indescribable. It’s has this lovely slightly rich perfumey thing going on. On the palate it has that awesome Lechet fruit. Great acidity and nicely mineral. Nice juicy finish. But there is an extra richness and depth just under the covers. If you bought this. I’d hold for two years. And thank the wine gods that you bought it. Fabiens wines will be only for the rich some day. Buy as much as you can store. Bought from Fass Selections. — 7 years ago
