2012 vintage. Courtesy of @romo (nice to see you again). Cork needed very little coaxing for removal. Tasted after 30 minutes open. Savory fragrances. Less acidity than expected given the product/producer but tasted temp was in the upper 40's-low 50's. Light-medium body. A little crisp but not crispy. Could swear there was some Earl Grey in there somewhere dancing with impunity. No overwhelming, final boss component ultimately responsible for the accolades; it was more of a compendium of Etsy subtleties coming across as a hand-crafted effort. This is absolutely firing. And now. Cellar it as expected if you like but not 100% necessary as befitting a few previous vintages over the last three decades. 11.8.26. — 9 hours ago

2022/7/12-14. Over 3 days, this revealed a morphing array of cool stone, cream, citrus tart and subtle spice and flowers in the nose, with burnished, tangy fruit on the palate. New oak influence was minimal. Transparent but with subtle depth, this was pretty much as good on day 3, if slightly less intense, than on day 1. — 4 years ago

2023 vintage. A wild mashup of dried fruits and fresh stone fruits. Medium heavy body. No petrol but (ghost) petrol feel and same for salinity. A compendium of what you should expect vs what was actually delivered. What showed up on the doorstep did not suck. Thank you @Pinotman /// Andreas !! 10.3.26. — a month ago

2022/7/12-14. Compared to the Joseph Colin Compendium, this was a bit fatter, richer and showed more oak influence (though certainly not excessive in that regard). There’s more smoky mineral in the nose - perhaps a bit of reduction as well - and a bit more juice and depth to the fruit. A few years to integrate more could make it even better. — 4 years ago

at the top of the compendium of lighter, fragrant, undeniably drinkworthy italian reds; lifted floral notes, snappy red berries. — 11 years ago

2023 vintage. The usual, zippy spice compendium in play here with some mineral "componentry." Medium/medium-heavy bod for Sauvie Blanc. 1.9.26. — 10 months ago

Nice rounded wine. Enjoyable sweetness with a smooth aftertaste. A little bit of spice and tartness. — 11 years ago
