Not your dad’s Cabernet. Lighter colored cab. Pretty nose with present pyrazines v. can franc. But not harsh at all. What a revelation. Super drinkable. I need more. 2022 — 7 months ago

This wine shows bright, crunchy freshness with notes of alpine cough drops, fresh green herbs, and a touch of petrol. The palate is taut and mineral-driven, layered with lime zest and green apple, grapefruits. A saline, slatey undercurrent adds depth and tension, leading to a clean, mouthwatering finish. A precise and expressive Mosel Riesling with real energy and character. — 9 months ago

Nose : cherry spice. Cherry licorice intense florals.

Palate: sweet cherry. So elegant. Lovely. Elite balance. Hint of elegant spice.

Seriously. If you like nebbiolo you are nuts not to buy a case of this at this price.

A purity.

Pristine.

Spice.

The most elegant nose.

Almost a haiku of a wine.

Needs an hour. Or a century. I don’t know.

Immortal.

Nose white flowers. Seashells. Massive.

Palate: bright as the sun. Magnificent acidity. Sour Green apple.

My first of the 2023’s. Really spectacular. Pours a medium yellow with some viscosity. On the nose such purity. Lemon pith, white flowers, mixed citrus, high toned and pure, the palate is silky like crème brûlée but with a lightness; beautiful oak framing. I think I’m a Brissett junky. The winemaking highlights everything I love about Chardonnay. @Lyle Fass — 8 months ago
