Not your dad’s Cabernet. Lighter colored cab. Pretty nose with present pyrazines v. can franc. But not harsh at all. What a revelation. Super drinkable. I need more. 2022 — 21 days ago
I love me some grand cru Alsace Riesling and this measures up! Contemplative. Long finish. 2017
Beautiful color, nose of apricot, honeysuckle, straw, and loads of acidity. Imagine if you will a glass of lemonade on a hot summer day and it makes you want to just keep drinking it, this does that. — a month ago
2016. Stunning. Expressive and detailed. Rich nose with cinsault showing. Pretty red fruit. Long finish. Excellent. — 7 days ago
Faded a bit. But it’s 2001. Fresh and lovely tough. Super developed flavors ofc. No primary fruit but super interesting. — 17 days ago
Maybe it needs decanting. 2017. I honestly find it lacking in true brunello character. Solid but it could be a decent Keyonte too. — a month ago
Crisp and fresh but simple. — 7 days ago
2021. High acidity which dominates. I bet it would show well decanted but as is it’s not interesting enough. Pretty one dimensional. — 12 days ago
2002. Holy cow. Pure and elegant and light and refreshing. Amazing for a wine of this age. It’s current release. Showing remarkably. An honor to have this. — 21 days ago
Lovely white blend. The viognier stands out. 2022 — 2 months ago

Smoking. This is amazing. The earth of a languedoc cab. It has dolcetto, sure only 2% but who does that? It’s so good. Long finish. Complex. 2021. — 11 hours ago
