Incredible and wild nose…. Petrol, hyacinth, ginger, honeysuckle, yeast and beeswax.
Palate echoes the nose in a very elegant and sophisticated way.
F**king great! — 5 years ago

Liquid gold. Nose shows a lot of floral notes: honeysuckle, hyacinth, orange blossom and bergamot. Dry honey, candied citrusfruit and tangerine. In the mouth it’s full-bodied and mineral, contains a wonderful bitterness, deep and spicy acidity (like pickles?), orange liquor, apricotpreserve, wet wool, talcum and crushed rocks.
This is big, impressive, lenghty and very well-balanced.
Deeeeelicious! — 5 years ago

Il Vei Colli Piacentini Pinot Grigio rose

Clear color but a kind of soft drink, or charming ruby red with a little bubbles.
I love this note. At first I could enjoy the scent of blackberries, tomatoes, roses, Hyacinth, colorful flowers, then I felt the dept of this wine like soils under woods, boiled egg, hot spring, sausage, wet dog, wild animals, pickles, and Parmesan cheese. Complex and interesting note.
Soft sweet attack with comfortable bubbles texture, lightly ironically nuance with charming sweet acidic body and minerals, bitter finish.
Good character of Pinot Grigio . — 8 years ago

Light golden colour. Mature Riesling nose. Firne, slate, hyacinth, orange blossom, citrus zest and oriental spices leap out of the glass.
On the palate this is unusually (for the Mosel and for the vintage as well) rich, concentrated, almost fatty in mouthfeel. Yet it remains in balance remarkably well. Very floral and tropical in its aromatics, this is not your typical dry Mosel wine. Actually, it's not legally trocken, more a feinherb kind of wine. Busch's wines only resemble those of Heymann Löwenstein in style; I see some parallels in their concentration, balance, richness, spicyness, yes uniqueness. What a gorgeous wine....!

This year this wine had 2 versions. One barrel fermented to a Trocken wine and was labelled "Falkenlay GG". The second barrel stopped earlier so a Feinherb remained. This was labelled "Falkenlay (Erste Lage)". — 10 years ago

Purchased at the Texas winery in March 2018, returned it to its native homeland to sit in our Brooklyn basement for 2 years. Crystals galore on the cork. Gave it about 45 mins of air. Consumed with Le Fond lamb takeout on Easter at the end of week 4 of quarantine. Stewed spring strawberry inside an unfrosted freshly toasted pop tart. lil bit of sautéed portabello mushroom. Put it in your mouth and it’s tart unsweetened cranberry juice with some vibrant bretty thing that jumps around on the tongue. Continues to rich floral bergamot and vetiver and hyacinth. Finishes back to ocean spray cranberry cocktail. Lots of sediment. — 6 years ago

@Mike R just being a plain old STUD. No better way to step off the plane than to be poured a glass and lots of SMILES. Honeyed apricot, Cara Cara orange, hyacinth. A big boy that needs time. — 8 years ago

Absolutely my favorite producer of Taurasi. Pure, high-toned, just-ripe red fruits complicated by the wild herbal intensity of Mastroberardino. Exotic like a poultice of orange peel, goji berries, sage, chrysanthemum, raspberry leaves, tea, camphor and other medicinal plants. But also so familiar; florals of hyacinth and violet as it opens.

So weightless and concentrated. Hard to pin down, but I think lovers of high altitude Nebbiolo or Loire Cab Franc will find a lot to enjoy here. — 6 years ago

Clean, Cristalclear and Precise.
Peat, resin, reine claude plums, chalk, lemonpreserve, yeast, tripel ale, iodine, old foudres, hyacinth... I could go on and on.
Very elegant and complex. Thirstquenching yet cerebral.
A wonderful wine in a unique style that reminds me of Chablis from Raveneau. — 7 years ago
