So much going on as well as so much fun.
Mandarins, melon, papaya, and mango.
Daisies, chamomile, Jasmine and wisteria .
An array of herbs from bay leaves to rosemary and oregano. Candied ginger. Rice, hop and kombucha which leads to green tea.
Super fresh and zingy minerality.
Long too.

Pressings Malbec 1997

It started with wisteria violet and a big fruit
Developed with liquorice, gunpowder, graphite, roasted chestnuts, chickpeas, curry, forest floor, apple crumble, tobacco, leather, rose, cured meats, cardamom
Intense and very persistent
Maybe the freshness is not its first quality, but an amazing complexity
Fading from its peak perhaps too, but still very enjoyable, fascinating and interesting

Too good to be true
Benchmark Viogner
It had the apricot, the violet
I'd say poetically it felt like an aperitif below a huge wisteria plant🤔🤫
Marvelous balance
Superlong finish
Nothing more to say, just taste it if u can

@Bob McDonald sorry mate, I had to change my rating, obviously it wasn't explaining my point of view.
Thanks🙏

A.P. Birks Clare Valley Malbec 2008

It never ends to amaze me this wine
Nose is a little reticent
Medium body
I hope the bottle in front of me gets till tomorrow to see the differences
Texturally is so outstanding that you can tell is on a different level
From blueberry to black currants
Violet, wisteria and jasmine even orange blossoms I dare
A bunch of mixed Mediterranean herbs
Gunpowder, pencils lead, a bit of tar.
Soy and watermelon are there like someone mentioned in a review of a 1990 Malbec
Silky tannin present, but absolutely not disturbing
I ‘d be surprised if I don’t finish this bottle
Fresh and too easy to drink✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

Really???
I am surprised
I would think it could be due to the trip the bottles go through
They are real good though

@Ceccherini Cristiano I am not being critical , it’s just an observation. I am sitting on 2 cases of mixed vintages because I really enjoy them. I just found the petrol a tell tale sign. I am very happy you posted a note. I might even have an ‘02 left.

I didn't mean I am not happy with a little petrol in a nice Riesling, but with the way Grosset makes his Riesling normally takes a while before they become less fruity, crisp and chalky and turn to the more complex cherosene notes
I just find a little funny with Riesling the way someone enjoys the fruit driven ones rather than older versions
I personally like them both, but prefer the Grosset ones not too old( sometimes I had old wines getting too sweet). Don't trust the wine guides, drink them they will be fantastic now( who knows about tomorrow)
Ps let me know about the '02

Sawmill Creek Vineyards Gewürztraminer 2010

BIG nose of honey, melon and wisteria flowers. Strong flavors of lychee, minerals, melon, spices and honey. Hint of sweetness. Lots going on in this white, but even though it is busy, it is well balanced. Pleasantly oxidized with a short finish. Memorable FLX Gewurtz.. — 6 years ago

Vigna della Congregazione Fiano di Avellino 2015

Extremely young but having tasted so many vintages of this wine I tell u the flavour The FLAVOUR!!!!!
Great freshness but also tickling with minerality
U can already tell complexity starting to build up
From camomile to violets or wisteria,
Smoked, mushroom and clay,
Orange peel;
Hazelnut and marzipan,
Ginger biscuit
Some how a bit of MoU caramel
Infinite substance ever changing.....
Thanks Antoine Gaita (I can still feel him in the wine)and family
