05 Rieussec, pâté, home cured porc, cabrales, good friends, children playing happily on the swing set. 74degrees, 4pm? esquisite light. This is pure relaxation. The wine? Nectar, sweet currants, lazy and slow on the palate. Superb. To repeat ASAP. — 11 years ago

Surprising. I say no more, but that it's on my page means "try it". — 11 years ago
Amazed. 1997 Alex valley blend. Expectations were low (?plonk). Nice mix of blueberries and cassis. Finish is tight, rests on palate with a clean crisp a dieu. Drinkable for next several years. Notably missing any leather or late stage ageing decline. — 11 years ago
Lovely Gewürztraminer from schooling project. Very well worth trying. Suggest at end of meal with cheese. — 11 years ago
My friend Cliff gave me a bottle years ago. That was awesome, and goes as the best I've had ever (until recently). Does this compare? YES. Nearly a decade later, this is smooth, mellow, lovely,still years from decline. Still a top 5. Finish like silk - smooth whispery Delightful. Needs time to open. Will post this, then amend later... — 11 years ago
