9.5

Nose: terrific. White and yellow flowers. Really elegant and balanced. A 9.65.

Palate : mineral. Sweet lemon. So good. Big acidity

This will be better in 5 years, I think. But great now.

Cherry flower on the nose.

Cherry with some bitterness on the palate. Classic liaison.

That sexy interplay between sweet fruit, bitterness, acidity and minerality. No one else on earth does it like this. No one.

Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Crafted by Joseph J. Wagner, 4th generation winemaker, with winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since 1906. Deep Ruby with red berry fruit aromas, tea and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of jammy blackberry and cherry with pronounced sweet vanilla oak, cacao and pepper spice notes. Soft tannins and bright acidity, well balanced, with mineral tones on a long finish ending with toasty spice! Nice! — 25 days ago

If you don’t love this wine you need to have your head examined.

Utterly magnificent.

Nose: perfect apricots. As this opens magnificent dense complexity. Mesmerizing. Met hints of dried apricots take this to another level. Almost like aged piesporter goldtropfchen. Like a sexy nasal caress. A hint of sluttiness. But just a hint. Damask. More elegant dense peach as it opens.

Palate: apricots. Peach. Powerfully mineral. Utterly delicious. Almost savory. Unreal. So f….ing good.

Prototypical rheinhessen Riesling. Tyson vs Ali. This is Tyson. Tyson in ip man.

A rough day. So which wine will never disappoint? Dampt Cote de lechet.

Nose: lovely. A green apple skin mineral perfume. White flowers get this to 94.

Palate: sweet green apple. Salty. Mineral. Utterly delicious. This is not the acid driven hammer that 21’was but it’s in the range of being as good.

Magnificent.

Nose: floral but elegantly so. Lovely. Yellow flowers. As this opens a white and yellow flower melange. Really close to burgundy weight and elegance wise. Really. Close.

Palate: delicious. Fine minerals. Touches of stone fruit. Great balance. Peach pit. Lovely sprightliness. Magnificent.

Long elegant finish. Mineral. Hint of brine. Almost chablisien. Mountain stream.
