2013 and still young. Vibrant Riesling from my favorite Austrian producer. Great aromatics, less petrol-y than Mosel. Need some rich food now.

Aging Greek reds is my new mission. This little gem was found on a shelf after aging for 8 years and blew my mind away: ripe plums, red flowers, earthy and round. The aging added a ton of complexity. — 8 years ago

Deep red forest fruits, silky smooth tannins and hints of creamy chocolate, dried rosemary, rich, luscious, drinking beautifully after 14 yrs of ageing. 100% Mavrud, a Bulgarian native grape linked to Mourvèdre. #bulgarian #bandol ! — 8 years ago

Needed decanting after 6 years, then showed its true beauty. Classic sour cherry Sangiovese with developed earthy undertones. Grippy finish. Can age for a couple decades more but just ready to drink. — 9 years ago

8.6

Tight at first, then opens up to black pepper and dark fruit notes, blackberries and plums. With air, the Syrah becomes more velvety and elegant. Needs a fatty 'braai' to complement the lingering acidity. — 8 years ago
