Eminence Sylvaner 2021
Very cool!
Sylvaner is one of the few “second tier” varieties that sometimes gives me a thrill. (I’ve yet to taste an Aligote that had that effect on me, for instance.)
@Tom Casagrande, she makes another Sylvaner from another Alsatian vineyard that is quite good, but not at this level. I have read that she loves Sylvaner, having grown up eating berries while helping her grandparents tend the Zinnkoepfle Grand Cru vineyard!!

@Doug Powers probably a silly question, how’s does one DM on Delectable?
@Ira Schwartz, I realized last night that there is no DM functionality, sorry @Tom Casagrande about that.
@Doug Powers wish they had that feature

Sainte Agathe Syrah 2020
Basket of fresh black and red fruits, smoky notes, roasted, charcoal, pepper, violet. The nose suggests a little residual sugar, except it will turn out to be very dry in the mouth. Supple and beautiful creaminess, the texture in the mouth is beautiful. Côte-Rôtie style. Superb for its price.
Panier de fruits frais noirs et rouges, notes fumées, rôties, charbon, poivre, violette. Le nez suggère un peu de sucre résiduel, hors il se révélera très sec en bouche. Souplesse et belle onctuosité, la texture en bouche est magnifique. De la puissance totalement enrobée. Une Cote Rôtie masquée, sous le nom Vin de France. Superbe pour son prix! — 2 years ago

Just a lovely, complex Sylvaner, great acidity, some nice slight honeyed notes to the layered fruit, even though this cannot have Grand Cru on the label because the grape is Sylvaner, the juice is from fruit grown on Zinnkoepfle, a Grand Cru vineyard that Agathe farms. — 2 days ago
