Another young one. Chocolate brownie and s’mores, with a coffee marshmallow. Rich vanilla bean creeps in, and warm plum jam that mysteriouslypowders atop pumpkin bread full of the usual spices aromatically. Grape-y, with grainy tannins, first skin of a dark red apple, red incense, cherry skins, lipstick with crispy beef and black soils. The final notes boast oak and blackberry, with cinnamon stick. The middle and finish give you an idea of the depth and breadth that the first aromas belie. #ToKalon #mondavi #robertmondavi #Napa #napavalley2013 #singlevineyard #Oakville #reserve #cabernetday #californiacab #cab — 8 years ago

Here's where it all began... #Loosen decided to experiment with different durations of time with yeast contact...the "#Reserve" having 24 months on the #lees which gives the wine greater complexity and depth of flavor, not to mentioned aging potential. #Riesling #2011 #altereben #ErdenerPrälat — 11 years ago

Vinho bem leve, frutado, melhor apreciado após respirar uns 30 min! Corpo médio! Notas de café bem ao fundo! Um pouco alcolico o q mascara o sabor! Odor de café, torra média, e cacau! Cor violeta! Wine with medium body, fruited, need to breath for 30 minutes at least! Notes of coffee. Little alcoholic! Smell of coffee, medium toast, and cocoa! Violet! #wine #vinho #carmenere #chile #redwine #tinto #reserva #reserve #vino #winetasting #winesfromchile — 11 years ago

A rare old drop of sticky #rosemountestate then Bob Oatley-owned; #sémillon #botrytis #1984 #reserve ; 12.8%; #upperhuntervalley ; wine correct, honied, nougat, rarely occurs, now drying; fullly mature; odd wine to acquire from a previous employee. — 10 years ago

#DRY, yes, but not too much so because it has such perfect ripeness and sexy acidity that it actually comes off as more opulent and not in the least bit austere. A full 24 months on the #lees has given this remarkable wine layers of complexity and, well, the "spiciness" that you would expect from a "spice garden"!

Vinho alcolico! Harmoniza bem com pizza 4 queijos e peperoni! Quando se toma e come a pizza de peperoni ele realça os condimentos e ardor do picante do peperoni! Frutado com notas de cereja! Ao se degustar percebe a madeira que da o corpo ao vinho! Sugiro que deixe ele respirar um pouco. Fica melhor! #wines #vino #vinho #cabernet #chile #reserve
Harmonize with pizza 4 cheese and peperoni! When you drink the wine and eat the pepperoni pizza it shine the spices and peppers. Fruited with cherry notes. You can taste the wood that makes the body of the wine. I suggest to let it breathe a little. Gets better! — 12 years ago

One of most sensational #Rhône wines we've ever encountered--with all the grace and finesse of a great Burgundy it dazzled us all last Sunday at @ZuniCafe! #1990 #ChateauRayas #Reserve — 10 years ago

"#Hommage" is Erni's 36-months-on-the-lees project and we think it is an exciting one as the wine has, believe it or not, even more power and intensity than the regular #GGs or the "#Reserve" bottlings. Time will tell how this wine pans out, but if what we recently tasted is any indication, one needn't worry in the least--BRAVO!!! #2011 #Riesling #altereben — 11 years ago

#robertmondavi #cabernetsauvignon #reserve 2009 #tokalon. Lush. Full of texture, red berry, cocoa, briar. Long finish. Not really offering a ton of nuances, which would have earned it a higher 9. — 12 years ago

Big, but perfectly balanced. Fantastic wine that should easily go 15-20 years, and that's if you can resist that long! #pride #reserve #napa #springmountain — 12 years ago
