Second K Laz tasting - don’t love this one - has a plasticity to it - smells like a Merlot, and a bit sour on the palate - very surprising given the pedigree (Thomas RB etc) — 3 months ago

Fleshy, blueberry/blackberry, meaty, dark cocoa with some pie crust. Way too young of course but real enjoyable now. — a year ago

Best vintage I’ve tasted. More balanced and a lot smoother than 13,14,15. A bright wine in a very tragic fire year — 4 years ago

This is just such a distinctive and delicious wine. Yellow flowers.

Nose: so mineral and nicely tropical. So silvaner. Amazing typicity

Palate is stone fruits, minerals. So juicy. Great acidity.

Amazing with food. Just makes a good evening great. An hour in you get the wall of flavor. Dense yellow fruits mineral acidity all hit you like a lunch in the face all at once. Magnificent. Rich. Amazing body. Minerals crushed by hand in your mouth.

Finish has this almost savory element. Terrific

We can argue about styles but this is one of the best silvaners on earth.

Straw gold, heavy in the glass. Spicey nose. Notes of apricot, citrus, petrol, tan spice and white stones. Powerful in the mouth. Massive acidity matched against a wall of ripe fruit. This was like an untamed lion in a cage that wanted to get out and roam around. Unfortunately it was consumed before we got the full impact of the necessary air time. — 4 years ago

Bubbles tight like yo daddy’s cutoff jorts. Damn nice when it hits the tongue. Extra bacon in the collard greens? Yes m’am — 7 months ago

Aged Yolo County Tannat. With a whimsical name. Dark color with a rusty edge. Smells a bit funky. Spike of berry liquor. Hint of wood chips. Flavors are very heavy on the black currant with a hint of plummy-ness. Might be a bit past perfection. Not as much as much tannin and funk as some Tannat, but has plenty of style. Drinks a bit like a French wine. Wonder who is using these grapes now that Rockwall is out of business? — 8 months ago

Finally got a chance to enjoy this stunning wine - grilled some steaks to perfection and celebrated life with THE one and ONLY Opus One.

Life is damn good. — 4 years ago
