Kröver Steffensberg Spätlese** Feinherb Mosel Riesling 2010

9.7

This is so good and so young with ridiculous acidity. It’s too cold so the nose is very quiet. But wow what a palate. Insane acidity and huge dry fruit extract. Unreal density and concentration but so nimble. Apricot and citrus fruits galore and a minutes long finish. 9.6 with no aromas and barely any air. Let’s see where this goes. Nose now is all citrus jelly baby and lime flesh with other exotic citrus. Crazy complex. Palate is so juicy and so elegant. Amazing density. 9.6 to 9.7. So sapid with so much energy. Wow! — 13 days ago

9.5

Liquid jelly aromas of grapefruit and nectarine. Spice and gorgeous aromas. Floral. So complex. Just an insane nose. 9.5. or 9.6 nose. Very harmonious and lovely sweet pink grapefruit. Great acids. So complete. Long. Amazing. So harmonious and soothing. Amazing fruit. The extra skin contact gives this another dimension of complexity. — 2 years ago

California Red Wine

Smells of cherry and dark berries, tastes like a cornucopia of berries without being overly sweet. Super approachable but packs a flavor punch. — 4 years ago

Sullivan Vineyards

Estate Bottled Rutherford Merlot 2012

Surprisingly delicious at 10 years of age. Wonderful ripe Napa jelly fruit. Surprisingly good acid, the tannins have receded but still provide some structure. Rarely drink Napa merlot but this is compelling. Certainly somewhat biased by the fact that I worked on this vineyard in 2011. Nice pairing with skirt steak on the grill. — 3 years ago

Albert Boxler

Edelzwicker Alsace White Blend

Wonderful acidity zips through the mouth. Initial nose is of peaches and moves into elderflowers and white grape jelly. Despite the sweet smell stays dry. Medium-long finish with a rich mouthfeel. — 2 months ago

Clos Chanson Condrieu Viognier 2018

An over the top experience. Starts with vanilla blossom (noticeable new oak $$) and then the highest floral concentration I have ever experienced. It’s like sticking your nose in a fresh jar of super floral honey. Botrytis is obvious but it intensifies the concentration and adds that surprise element when you find that the wine is bone dry. The palate is in balance, with delicate florals, a touch of bitterness and plenty of stone minerality to compensate for the low acid. You have to turn your brain on for this one. — 3 years ago
