Pine needles, licorice, grass.

Nice acidity, between the two Rieslings I picked up, I prefer the Forge reserve. It had a bit more personality. I hate comparing two wines side by side, but it’s just the circumstance.

Still, pretty solid everyday wine. — 9 months ago

Drink this when your passport is stolen and the only Italian restaurant that’s open is serving it, for less than $20 a bottle somehow, and it turns out to be, under these and any circumstance, criminally good. — 4 years ago

This is still a baby. That’s Ted it initially at the RS tasting a few weeks back and wanted to see what the bottle would be like in a diff circumstance. Ample fruit and beautiful balance between acidity and tannins. This has the makings a of a great bottle—already delicious but full of so much potential. I’m gonna wait at least 5yrs on these. — 2 years ago

Explosion of fruit followed by nice acidity. A bit rougher end. Might be due to the fact that we had a vegetarian dish. Extreme long finish. Nice South African elegance wine. Good job! — 4 years ago

Might be a product of circumstance, but this wine is delicious. A bit of anise, some forest fruit, some green. — 2 years ago

and a point of view—that grows with circumstance—or just good chardonnay on a sunday afternoon?

@domainemikulski isn’t your average bourgogne blanc, and of all the burgundy we got to taste at @gunterseegerny, the ‘11 meursault charmes stands out. this isn’t that—entry level, fraction of the price, young—but its elegance, concentration, richness, and hi-fi overtones speak the same vernacular, same “extraordinary gift for hope,” that nick said of gatsby. — 4 years ago
