Domaine Catherine Cuchet-Béliando
Cornas Syrah 2015
Deep, deep aromas, of blackberry, even some cassis, grilled meats and a fuck-ton of granite. Wild herbs galore and mad lavender. Just magic. The nose is a perfect 10. It might close down but right now it’s utterly profound. Palate is ridiculous. Density without weight. Nose is hitting all levels. — 13 days ago

Limited Edition Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Auslese Riesling 2023
A work of art. Unreal clarity to the botryized flavors. Perfectly expressed botrytis. Nose is ripe apricot and rain dampened slate. Whisper of saffron. Marmalade. That palate is perfect. This is perfect. Balance, texture, ripeness, floats on the palate. Just magical. — 6 days ago

Rödelseer trocken Chardonnay 2023
Such a gorgeous wine. Nose is wintergreen, lentils, yellow curry, ripe apples and more. So mineral. Juicy with just super crisp acids and so long. Refined like you wouldn’t believe. Terrific inner mouth aromas and such chunky minerality. So juicy. — 8 days ago

Probstey Silvaner 2023
I adore this wine as there is nothing like it in Germany or the wine world at large. One foot in the Cote de Beaune, one foot in Saulheim and one foot somewhere else. Nose is so giving and intense. Some toasty wood, but minerals blaring underneath, and just gorgeous limestone minerality but what stands out is the absolute purity aromatically and on the palate. Seductive and rich but oh my god the purity is out of this world. So fine, so elegant, and so nimble. The combo of richness/decadence and nimbleness allied also the most filigree one can imagine makes this a knockout. This is just profound. Finish is endless and this is at once delicate and rich. This wine is a contradiction that works. This is so elegant, so delicate and the controlled richness is out of this world. — 12 days ago

Brauneberger Juffer Auslese Riesling 1993

Probstey Spätburgunder 2022
Big time raspberry spice cake. Decadent aromas with gorgeous limestone and complicating aromas of pulverized rock dust. Big jelly donut vibes. Palate is just stunning. Young and a bit inverted but huge chewy depth, raspberry intensity, black cherry intensity and gorgeous, virile tannins. Juicy and so explosive with tiny berry fruit intensity that is a knockout. So complex and juicy and obviously young but in 3-4 hours this will get to 9.8. I know it will. Amazing acidity and it’s insane how much it’s changed since barrel last summer. My god it’s so juicy and decadent. The fruit clarity is off the charts. Unreal purity and density and so so so god damn juicy. — 12 days ago

Syrah my old friend it’s been a minute. Nose is all granite, olives, blackberries, lavender and gorgeous herbs and even some leather. So good. Palate is soft and sensual but with huge granitic energy on the finish. Elegant as hell and ripe and mineral inflected tannins. This is so stoney. Getting toothsome as it airs out and has awesome purity and freshness. This is elite. On Day 2 nose was so expansive with olive, grilled meats and granite. Huge blackberry fruit and insane purity and depth. — 5 days ago
