So fresh, the fruit is just bursting out of this 18-year old Riesling, despite its age. This wine does have a weight to it that some will not like. Fresh fruit nose and palette of peach and tropical fruit. This Riesling is very complex in flavor, but not for the faint-hearted who want just a light and crisp wine. — 6 years ago

The intense summer heat turned into this huge, CA Zinfandel monster that somehow, after bowling you over with jammy fruit and brown sugar, gets more complex and interesting. Light on char and tannin. Not for the faint hearted. — 8 years ago

15/16 side-by-side. The 16 was just like a trappist farmhouse ale while the 15 was even more feral. Not for the faint-hearted, but I find them inspiring — 9 years ago

Smoky, juicy, very quaffable and fun. A light-hearted wine to be enjoyed with good friends. And lamb. Racks upon racks of lamb. — 10 years ago

Almost overpowering with very ripe dark berries and an array of exotic spices backed by chocolate and overt tannin! Not for the faint hearted! — 5 years ago

Quite a history to this wine. Back in 1997 Robert Parker gave the 1997 Duck Muck 99/100. A rare event at the time for an Australian wine and rapidly turned it into a Cult Wine par excellence. Almost overnight a bottle of Duck Muck was bringing $1500USD and higher. Unfortunately this led to many Australian winemakers wanting to duplicate this success and began creating these ultra ripe, high alcohol, very oaky Behemoths trying to attract Mega Scores from Parker. This was a trend that set back the Australian Wine exports by 10 to 15 years. We are only recovering now from the image of only producing Massive Shiraz and anyone who knows the Aussie wine industry knows we do much more than that. This wine at 16.5% ABV is not for the faint hearted. Rich Plum Prune and cinnamon notes. On the palate concentration and intensity is off the charts. You would never guess the age of this wine if tasted blind. It tastes much younger than a 2002. On a cold Winters night it’s great to reacquaint with a big Australian Shiraz. This is the whole Box and Dice - Shiraz on Steroids - but from this Burgundy Lover I can tell you it works. Time and a place for everything. — 7 years ago

Leather, tobacco, light-hearted joy. Some tar but also light. Decanted for an hour and a half. A beauty and definite buy again. — 9 years ago

This might be my favorite Kabinett in the bizz.
Gluggable and complex. Light-hearted and serious. Cool and transparant like an icicle, candied lime peel, delicately spiced, grapey acidity and texture. It just ticks all the right boxes.
Fantastic stuff.
Outperforms many Spätlese-wines. — 10 years ago

I’m a San Francisco Wine drinker and love this. Smooth and not overwhelming. Great for friends with gentle pallets. The drunk is nice and light hearted. Chenin Blanc is what I’d relate this to. Great beverage. Buy 2! — 6 years ago

Accurate liable, good semi sweet wine that pairs well with a light hearted evening. This wine doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you. — 8 years ago

It’s been too long since I’ve tasted Ovid. One of my Pritchard Hill favorites - it screams of Mountain structure in its black hearted concentration. Exciting to see these vines continue to mature as the wines do. — 8 years ago

Drank this in the summer - really full-on and rich. Almost too much for a fino style (pushes boundaries a bit, not for the faint hearted) but magnificent in its own way — 10 years ago
