2012, was worried reading online reviews, but this is complex and amazing. Macerated cherries, baked apple crisp, some wood, other herbs and spices I cannot pinpoint. Some chamomile tea notes. All on the nose. Palate is apples initially, buttery bread, more cherries then hits a citrus acidity late that leads to baked apples with spice and vanilla and oat buy it is all balanced by the underlying acidity. There is clearly an oak influence but so well balanced with acidity. Nothing funky on this one despite its color and some online notes. Outstanding and unique. — a month ago

Excellent QPR Cherry pie vanilla. Totally serviceable Pinot for everyday, a treat for friends who like sweeter wines, and a perfect introduction to those who are ready to get a bit more sophisticated. The first baby step on a staircase to Pinot Heaven. This wine has an invitingly light cigar wrapper-vanilla-nutmeg-spring vineyard nose. The first sip overwhelms with sweet bing cherry but settles mid-palate to avoid becoming cloyingly sweet and finishes with a pretty darn long and satisfying feeling of heat and tart cherry-rhubarb oat crumble. Missing are the layers of flavors at each stage from sniff to sip through swallow and depth of each layer too. Drinks very well now. Likely to remain delicious another couple years. — 6 years ago

This is an excellent Other Half beer in terms of texture and flavor but the lactose is a little heavy for my taste. It doesn't have the balance of some of the others. But no complaints if you can find it! — 8 years ago

Med/deep ruby with purple

Nose: candied cherry, stewed raspberry, oat milk/ coconut, dill, star anis.

Palate: redfruit upfront, great mid palate acidity with fine sandpaper like tannin, can taste the dill/pickle juice at the end. Mid/high acid. — 3 years ago

Greenish color for supporting Mexico in this morning's World Cup fixture. Ok a Mexican beer would have been more appropriate but I know what I prefer. — 8 years ago

An oakey and buttery chardonnay, with some toasted marshmallow and lemon/oat bars. This is totally my "thing." The only drawback is that it goes down fast, and leaves me yearning for another bottle. NH Wine Store, buy again.
Update: So I did buy again, and I am getting very strong pineapple, with a little oak on the finish. Still yummy. — 9 years ago

Dried fruit. Dried nectarine. Macerated plumb. Decaying molded raspberries. Shoe polish. Muted attack leading into a fairly high acid mid. Very subtle and short tannins. Finish medium. Rare old Ridge, and a treat that. Retains so much fruit for being 23. Edit: So much more tobacco coming through at hour 2. Sexy. A MILF of a wine. — 9 years ago

Always incredible. Still got that cut oat and rich Apple profile, but a more honeyed expression with the 10 years of bottle age. — 10 years ago

Gruner rather - intensely aromatic, authoritative from the get-go. Aromas burst from the glass displaying clove poached pears, green mango, butterscotch, honey oat and grapefruit marmalade. Ephemeral moments of feeling like oaked Chardonnay and intervals of feeling savoury and herbaceous. There's a lot going on. It's fresh, semi creamy, savoury, medium bodied and has energy and life to give. Focused, sense and just about 'jam-packed' full of flavor. It's rich, it's generous but turns a sharp corner and finishes long, dry and with serious minerality. There's more of a baked apple character to the palate certainly amongst poached pear, grapefruit and there's a feint nougat edge too. Probably one of my favourite Austrian Gruners I've had. Maybe not quite as rich or oaked as some, but this meets somewhere and the middle and they've just nailed it. — 9 years ago
