Late release after prolonged barrel aging.
Waxy, evolved, round with uber ripe lemons & nice exotic note. Creamy & quite broad for Riesling. On the palate this starts creamy and then the racy, steely acidity bites in. Nice breadth & weight. Yet balanced! Not too long though.

Nose is so supple. Warming (not in an alcoholic sense) and comforting. Dried roses. Spices. As this opens, intense hand crushed rose petals. With some more time intense lilacs. I mean really intense like elite volnay intense. Wtf!?!
Palate is still so fresh. Moderately dense fruit. Bright cherries. So juicy. Terrific spice. Rose petal juice. Wow. Nice elegance. Only 13.5% alcohol. Not one of these ponderous post climate change monsters. As it opens very good deliciousness. A lovely Roundness. Spice. Wow.
Great fresh finish.
This is exactly why you want in an entry level Barolo. Not Uber dense and overly weighty. Stunningly drinkable. Wow.
I’m having it with cassouela. Yes I know I should have had valtellina wine to stay in Lombardy... bite me. All the ballers in Milan drink barolo.

This wine is uber fruity with a smoky nose. Positively scrumptious! The price point is such a bargain for this quality of wine. — 5 years ago
Stunning bottle! Far less dark and brooding than 2006, the uber rare 2000 Montepulciano is elegant, seamless and impeccably detailed. It’s layered with crazy depth of aromatics that soar flaunting BBQ spice, espresso, dried flowers and red fruit. It has off the charts complexity and a wild untamed nature to its expression that is as intriguing as it comes. The palate is precise, pure and balanced with a stunningly elegant texture and incredible length. Masterful wine. — 2 years ago
This vintage features an uber fragrant nose and is just bursting with berry flavors, so much so that I want to enjoy it on its own. Remember to enjoy it in a “Syrah” glass to bring out all its nuances. — 5 years ago
Big, uber ripe Chateauneuf from a great producer and a great vintage. Almost all Grenache (95+ %) from 110 year old vines aged in concrete vats. Extremely concentrated and complex - blackberry jam, crushed rock and spice. Tannins are beautifully smooth even at this young age. The finish lingers forever. The ABV is very high at 15%, but the wine has the concentration to balance it. 2015 vintage on Jan 11, 2019 — 6 years ago

So so intense, clean mineral lines & voluminous on palate-tasted blind my friend thought Chardonnay. 50 shades of apricot, a squeeze of petrol at end of long finish. Enough padding to be also Uber enjoyable. — 3 months ago
