Not your ordinary Gruner. I think it low in sulphites, unfiltered and has a rustic character. A bit oily in texture and with dominant aromas of hay, yellow stone fruits and dried herbs, you can notice some dill in it as well. For this natural style is very nice and interesting. — 4 years ago

A spectacular ratafia. Gently sweet with beautiful richness and wonderful depth without any heat from the fine de Bourgogne. — 7 years ago

Very solid pinot for the price - and the extra third of a bottle doesn't hurt — 7 years ago

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Herbert Blomstedt is leading an all MOZART program tonight (Piano Concerto No. 17 in G) with the incredibly talented Emanuel (Manny!) Ax on piano and then concluding with MOZART (Symphony No. 41, Jupiter).

Nose is a little tight on this right now, but it is incredibly stoney, like a walk through a stone masons lot and a neighbor two properties down recently mowed the lawn.
The palate is opening, good minerality, light acidity, tropical fruit, yet showing restraint like no other CA Sauvignon Blanc I've ever experienced. Interesting stuff, likely will finish this bottle tomorrow (with updated notes) so that we can see what extended air time reveals... — 8 years ago

Leafy, petrol, white pepper bouquet.

Super traditional expression of gruner. Bracing acidity well balanced with minerality and a strong lemon oil note. Very martini like. Savory, briny, minerality, leafy.

Perfect for a grazing board tonight. — a year ago

Had this a couple time now. Both you and Liz love this. I prefer their rose a bit to this one, but is great. Honey, floral, a little toast and vanilla. A tad sweet. Such a great mouthfeel; full. — 6 years ago

Ringing in the new year with Barbaresco perfumed elegance. A little tighter and more acidity than I was expecting for the age and variety but still very good. Dried Nebbiolo roses, slate, saline, cherry, some pine and/or mint. From Glass Half Full, Provincetown.

Lovely bottle from Weygandts. Reasonably priced. Had the richness I want in a champagne. Acidity was tame. — 7 years ago

Excellent slatey minerality. Sweet red apple. A very Pinot Champs. Palette is full and sweet. Dosage evident. Maybe would integrate a bit more win age. Or just enjoy now. — 9 years ago

9.5

bouquet is deep, complex and vibrant, offering up scents of apple, nectarine, a touch of hazelnut, patissière, a beautifully complex base of soil tones and a top note of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and complex, with a fine core, lovely soil undertow, refined mousse, bright acids and fine focus and balance on the long, classy and wide open finish. — 2 years ago

Not so much to my taste. Good mineral base, but I didn’t love the amount of fruit and dried red fruit aspects. More linear than big boned. No yeastiness - a must for me! — 6 years ago

AP 23. A blend of two parcels, Pio and Herbert. A pure beam of energy, almost dry tasting as the acidity is absolutely scintillating. Lots of subtleties, this one is icy, pure and crystalline. An absolute joy. Truly classic Saar riesling and always the first bottle emptied. — 7 years ago

An odd sparkler to say the least. While the disgorgement date is not on the bottle, from Terry Thiese notes this spent somewhere around 5 years on the lees. The appearance is dark, closer in color to a young Burgundy than any sparkling Rose. The nose shows notes of deep earth, black cherries, and yeast. The plate is full-bodied with big, bracing acidity and soft, creamy bubbles. Flavors of macerated cherries and plums lead to dark, earthy flavors, baking spice, touches of oak, and a little funky brioche. The finish shows some dusty tannins along with lingering bright acidity along with lingering tiny bubbles. A very cool food friendly bottle of bubbles. — 8 years ago
