God Jul

Ryujin

Dragon God Ginjo Namazume

I’m torn. I don’t usually care for super sweet sakes, and this one is definitely that, but I had a ton of fun drinking this. This thing is HUGE. Almost overwhelming notes of cantaloupe, honeydew, banana, kiwi and pineapple are all up in your face when this hits your lips. It’s got plenty of alcohol to cut through the rich sweetness but almost no acidity. It’s lush and boozy and a hell of a good time, even if I wouldn’t call it a great sake overall. — a month ago

Boutari

Naoussa Xinomavro 2018

Nästan skrattretande lik en lättare nebbiolo med sina aromer, smaker och tanninstruktur. Utvecklad trots ung ålder. Väldigt god och prisvärd men det lite för tydliga ekfatslagringen drar ner betyget något steg för mig. — 3 years ago

Château Lafite Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

Structured and balanced. Very in place and lightly sophisticated. The fruit is all in check as is the alcohol. Still a long life ahead, but very god right now. You need to lean in a bit to feel it — 3 months ago

Cayuse Vineyards

God Only Knows Armada Vineyard Grenache 2014

Coppery gold shimmer to a medium bloody amber. Stinky warmed cured meats that were left out too long. Spiced cranberry Xmas cocktail, red raspberry puree, woody earthy cedar, with hints of tobacco and spicy fragrance/cologne. Somehow reminds me of a carnival with spicy sugary roasted nuts, cotton candy, and meats and cheeses- with some slightly stale meaty pizza. Leather and old rope. Spicy bloody raw meatiness on the palate. Great firm acidity, and zero alcohol noticed. Very well balanced and smooth with a great mineral backbone. So savory with all the meat and spice, but still has great fruitiness. — 7 months ago
