Clean as if jumping into a fresh stream. Oyster slurp, lemon, and nice salinity. — 3 years ago
Insanely aromatic, thick nose of chamomile, lanolin and the color spectrum of peaches. On the palate tutti-frutti basket with everything from white cherry to oranges. Thank you to the somms that let me interlope on their blinding session today, and sneak a slurp of this magical stuff. — 4 years ago
Holy crap this is good! Fine coco and black currants on the nose lead into dark, plummy goodness. On the palette, tannins are big, but not huge, caressing the tongue as much as coating it. Flavors of cherry, tobacco, and baking spices dominate and linger for minutes after each slurp. Yum!! — 5 years ago
Old Calvados from a very good producer… starting to lighten in color. But intense caramel, butterscotch, and ripe red apples on the nose. Silken smooth and a long warming finish. Dangerously easy to slurp and swallow, swirl, slurp and swallow… repeat. Cold winter evening, roaring fire, 2-4 good friends… and all too soon the bottle is history. Note to self.. always have a backup! — 3 years ago
Picked this up for a song a little while back - some library liquidation going on no doubt - and for what I paid, I probably should have bought an entire case. Gorgeous black olive and bacon fat umami going on here along with cassis and blackberry and chopped herbs. Faint, taut tannins hang at the edge of perceptibility. Hints of plum ski. In the finish.

Year in year out one of the most reliable and gluggable rieslings in this part of the world. Good now. Will be even better in 5+ years. Slurp!! — 10 months ago
