Domaine Alfred Martin

Nickel & Nickel

Martin Stelling Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Wine is incredibly dark and brooding. Very dense and heavy taste and texture right out of the bottle.

Drank over about 3 hours. Oxygen was this wines friend and the wine opened up quite a bit to reveal more bright and red fruit to complement the black fruit and density which also gave way as it breathed.

Not a blockbuster from a complexity perspective and lacked the punch of something special. But a solid oakville cab nonetheless and not too oaky.

So there is still residual sugar. 6 years old now. Acids also alive and kicking. A joy!

Citrus, super grapefruit, white flowers, and so much slate. Superb palate, concentrated, rocky and huge acids and energy and such chewy citrus. Kerosene on the nose and awesome confectionary inner mouth aromas. — 2 months ago

Kinheimer Rosenberg Spätlese Riesling 2017

At first thought this would be higher. It as it warmed and opened actually lost some of the acid that was keeping it balanced and became a bit too sweet. Still a very nice food pairing, and very classically mosel. Only 8.5%. — a month ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2021

Classic CDP. Bright fruit, mellow tannins. And that certain chewiness that screams for a steak dinner. Hints of crushed pepper. Very balanced. — 2 months ago

Fell out of habit of delectable-ing but this terroir driven Willamette Pinot reminded me to keep documenting the yummmz! Clay, herbs, luxardo cherry (without the syrupy sweet). — 2 months ago
