Tons of sediment.
On the herbaceous side. Quite tart still. Orange peel. Tumeric. Subdued cherry. Oregano, bark. Not my all time favorite but still very good. Yet not for the uninitiated. One has to know E&M. — a day ago

Super tropical mostly Passionfruit and some New Zealand style Pyrazines. Hint Banana and Mango. Almost over the top. Who new wine could taste like this. Must be genetics. Was in the top 10 of the top 100 Wine Spectator List some time ago. — 12 days ago

This actually improved. I was not that happy with this producer but this last bottle is pretty good. Cherry, dust, chalk, bark. Quite earthy. Very nice cherry. Hint Tumeric. — 12 days ago

Essentially Chasselas, Fendant. Called Gutedel in Baden/Germany. Remarkable 10.5%. Dry crisp and juicy. I am biased. Have been to Staufen and i believe Baden is really the most interesting Wine Region in the World almost everything grows from Syrah, Pinot, Syrah, Muscat and more. Gutedel is a wine one drinks almost out of a Stein. A wine for the masses. This example is more nuanced with a touch of raw hazelnut, hint of lemon 🍋, hint jasmine and almond blossoms. Hint Brett. Robust and delicate at the same time. Depends on your mood I guess and ones mood in the moment. 30$ in the US over there often <10Euro. Give it air! 15 min in the glass. Warm it up a little. It turns into a beauty with notes of orange blossoms. — 5 days ago

Quite pale in color after 21 years. Very port wine like. Was too busy for detailed notes. Winner of the evening. — 12 days ago

Tutti frutti. Over the top raspberry. Good acidity. Yet this is just too much for me. And 40$ is a little stiff for this wine. — 18 days ago

Quite fruit driven at this point. Give it 15min to breathe in the glass. Good tannic structure. Could go for 5 years or so. Classic in style - cherries, tobacco and a hint of violets. Beautiful expression of the grape - one ought to be able to identify this blind. A little high 14.5%. — 8 days ago

First bottle must have been corked. This is much much better. Sorry Lyle for my first review. Fantastic cherry notes mostly morello. Well managed tannins. Touch herbaceous. Needs to mellow out. Fruit galore. Excellent. — 12 days ago

Nothing to ride home about. Meyer Lemon and mostly what one would expect from a white Burgh. But just nothing here in regards to terroir. — 18 days ago
