Perfect for Christmas! Raisin and figs on the nose with hints of clove. Luscious mouth feel and long, sweet finish. — 7 years ago

Beautiful complex nose, but disappointing palate and too short for that pricetag. — 8 years ago

Full-on brioche, oxidized "nutty" nose, as others have noted. Not for everyone, but for those who love this style - terrific. — 8 years ago

60% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, biodynamic. This bottle was cellared poorly, but still showed its quality. I would try nearer vintages for sure. — 8 years ago

I'm no Riesling expert, but you can taste the quality here. The main descriptors would be "typicity" and "balance." One if those Rieslings where it is hard to tell how high the acidity is because there is a little residual sugar. Meaning you could drink a lot of this! ABV 13% though. — 8 years ago

Wow, a very pleasant surprise, full of life at age 56! Preserved cherries on the nose just after opening (beautiful cork), transitioning to stewed prunes, and then opening to lovely pot pourri. Acidity also emerging (how does that happen??) after 1.5 hours. What a special treat. Thanks Alex! — 8 years ago
