Curticella Dosaggio Zero Erbaluce

9.2

Zero dosage Erbaluce sounds more unusual than it is. Subdued for a second, needs an extra dose of air to show some life. Give it that air.

It's elegant and floral with little hints of apple, peach, mint, orange zest, and proofing yeast. Maybe a little aromatically shy but does a hell of a lot in the mouth with no added sugar. Intensity, round viscosity and concentrated full of flavor.

Great overall - wished it were weirder, because I like weird.

9.2

At ten years, folding into itself like a subtle and complex brewed tea.

Pretty cherry mahogany balsamic color that drags itself slowly to the edge of the skirted glass. The aromas don't jump, they're little folders standing military style in a file cabinet that we get to thumb through one by one. One for cherry, one for leather, cinnamon, menthol, tobacco, cedar, chocolate, coffee.

There's fruit, herb, and earth. A basket of cherries, rosemary bush, sage and their roots clinging to nuggets of soil. Pencil shavings, tobacco, and sour crunchy cranberry too. Vibrant, young, fresh - aromatic complexity now, years to grow old into something else. — a month ago

9.1

Cubillo smells expensive, even if it's short and abrupt. But the nose is a bargain. Ingredient laundry list of leather, hot cinnamon, coffee, chocolate, and sweet dates. The mouth feels raw, sour, and crunchy in a way that isn't bad, just less elegant. — a month ago

Ziereisen

Gestad Syrah 2016

9.3

The only German Syrah I've ever tried is one I won't forget. So unnaproachable at first, a stone cold snub, dark like motor oil.

Meaty blood soaked liver, mint snuff, graphite, pencil shavings. Huge tannins to break down.

But find those little Syrah nuggets - metallic minerals and the tiniest bit of violet, and you realize there's something special here. It just takes a second to understand.

It’s the Ziereisen code - crack a thick outer shell, find a familiar friend.

More time in cellar and/or longer decant? Just too young? Curious about this wine

@ESF this doesn’t need anything else. Its a great wine. It’s just different and takes some easing in - my opinion only of course

Château Musar

Levantine De Musar Red Blend 2020

9.2

Murky, decadent, sweet and sour tease of the Musar capability in a fresher, direct impression.

Aromatically rich with a mix of fruit and that iodine note reaching way back to your upper brain.

Fresh, vibrant, crunchy mouth. Wild Maine blueberry crumble, metals and violets. Spiced coffee cake, orange and lemon zest and milk chocolate shavings.

You could smell this all day. It fights through the teeth. We both win.

9.1

Golden nectar chenin like a blend of Mott's Apple and Welch's White Grape - thick and viscous, hits the sides of your tongue. Little nuggets of complex perfumes juxtaposed to a juicy core. Baked apples, pears, browning, spiced, spiked with lemon juice. — a month ago

9.1

A field blend of 100 varietals makes me think of the Dolomites - aromatic, rich, textured and opulent. The mountains but also the ocean too. It's got zip and an extra shake of salt.

Intensely aromatic, drinks best in a big bowl at room temp. Yellow mirabelles and canned peaches.

So pretty it's unfair. Sitting there like a lil' firecracker pumpkin ale in a burnt orange sun.

Thin, but chewy. Jammy fruit, spice, and pretty florals. Apricot marmalade peppered with cinnamon dust and nutmeg, brittle butterscotch and rose water.

For when anyone's wine bored or needs convincing that Orange isn't all sour stale mimosa.
