9.1

Always nice, but I prefer the Dry to the Semi-Dry. Give this a little time open in the bottle. Medium plus depth. — a month ago

Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc 2022

Took a an hour or so to develop the green bell pepper note I was looking for. Smooth and balanced. Not quite the depth an old school Loire cab franc may provide, but slightly less tannic than those and easy to enjoy. Would decant next time—suspect there is more there. — a month ago

Finger Lakes Dry Gewürztraminer 2022

9.0

Great standby Riesling and an excellent value at ~$16-18 - a tinge sweet and leans towards the plushier, fruitier Riesling style. Very low petrol notes, tastes like honeyed green grapes, white flowers. — 13 days ago

Argetsinger Vineyard Dry Riesling 2020

Great Riesling fe a single vineyard in FLX. Lots of mineral / limestone. Dry yet floral. — 14 days ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1999

An excellent, smooth wine with floral notes. A little less powerful than other vintages I have tried from Lynch-Bages. Cassis, blackberries, blueberries, milk chocolate, a hint of vanilla, and mushrooms. — 6 days ago

Forge Cellars

Classique Seneca Lake Dry Riesling 2021

Very interesting and very different from the three previous single vineyard Forge Rieslings we tried. Floral, with a more distinct but still mellow hint of Riesling plastic poncho. A lot of white pepper and cumin, followed by a grassy finish. — 3 months ago

Boundary Breaks Vineyard

No. 239 Finger Lakes Single Vineyard Dry Riesling 2017

Very impressed with this bottle. 2017 vintage and it still explodes with flavor across your tongue and down the sides dragging a solid melon, peach, and honey the whole way to the back of your mouth. The front end is very citrusy with a little white pepper. — a month ago

Had this at West Wind Orchard with Sebastiano, Will Shaw and Mario. — 22 days ago

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

Nice example from a troubled era of Ducru. No cork taint, thankfully. Started a little flat on the nose but really got going with time in the glass (had been double decanted earlier in the afternoon). Served with dry aged smoked duck breast with truffled grits, duck egg, fig, honey shimeji and braised endive. — 10 days ago
