Nicely done. I like the Amphora texture and acidity. Queveri-ish. Good food wine. For on its own enjoyment, would love to see lightly topped with late harvest Roussanne. Lemon+Honey 🐝
I also want to bury the Amphora ceremoniously, with you (Bradley) and Randall Grahm.... on an eclipse/lunar biodynamic magical night, you already got the patio with a firepit to fulfill the bonfire... cow horns and crystals for everyone :) haha — 6 years ago
Red gold body with a Matisse sketched white ring and merengue peaked, sheet-lacing. Clean citrus nose exhibiting clementine and dried pineapple, Meyer lemon and a faint funky-persimmon and lotus. There is something pleasant about the naturalness of the aromatics here with dried lemon verbena and Calloway seed. Orange and tangerine eclipse the lemon on the palate and add sweet grapefruit, and a clove note that tightly binds the whole. The bitterness being mitigated by the maple was brilliant here! Makes the Dogfish 90 seem clunky in comparison. I am a fan of this manifestation. Careful crafting and a simple solution to tune aggressive hops. There is no maple flavor btw. .

Small batch rum, fruit nose, dried fruit with vanilla and oak to taste, dry & not especially sweet compared to other rums. Sits above Eclipse but below XO IMHO. — 8 years ago
Opened for my 80th birthday. From a magnum, fully mature, still plenty of freshness, perfect balance, full body with excellent presence in the mouth, so tasty, it really went well with roasted suckling pig dinner. — 6 months ago

Super bone dry. Has a pear skin and like a cherry pit brightness. The excellence of manzanilla personified — 6 years ago
Definite cab, would not have guessed Syrah. Very flavorful with blackberries, dark cherries, vanilla, cigar box. Not heavy though. Celebrating 2 years to the date of the eclipse. — 7 years ago
The first sip of this tier 2 Bordeaux blend had a hint of raisin but it has settled into a nice cedar balance. Dark, like an eclipse. Wonder how much cab franc is in this? — 8 years ago
Dark cherry color; translucent in visual appearance. Aroma of “earthy, dusty” fruit not cherry but more plum-like. High alcohol on palate and lacks acidity. Pleasant drink but a village Bourgogne from this year would eclipse it. — 9 years ago

Maybe there aren’t any bottles floating around anymore, but I got lucky and snagged one. This is super juicy Tannat, which is not something I ever thought I’d say or hear. Dried cherries, super ripe plums, some underripe blueberry, a bit of funk on the nose. Graphite and leather too. There’s still great acidity which makes this gulpable. it’s an interesting wine, this mixture of dried fruits but bright and juicy acidity feels like it should be two different wines, but it’s not in any way disjointed or threadbare. It’s just got serious backbone, and long tannins. Like a northern Rhône Syrah without the floral aspects. It’s slightly meaty and spicy when first opened. The empty glass is restrained but all violet. I wish I could’ve had this a couple of years ago but it’s still really lifted yet soft tonight. — 6 years ago
Röda äpplen, honung, nougat, mogna citroner, kex och vissa gräsiga/örtiga undertoner. Tydliga snäckskal och fin mineralitet. Öppnar knastrigt i texturen men övergår snabbt åt klunkvänliga håller. Stora glas för denna! — 8 years ago
