This is the ‘17 JH Wheeler Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard. First bottle of this wine. Blown away. Nose is of blackberry pie. Loads of black and blue fruit, ripe me juicy, supple soft tannins that give a superb mouthfeel. Rich creamy feel. Nice long finish of crème de cassis. Fantastic! Especially for a ‘17. — 8 months ago

I’m a big fan of what Wheeler Farms is doing. Dark ruby. Plum, black cherry, currant. Chewy tannins. Nice mid palate with pretty long finish. Decant needed, at least an hour. Not as good as the 16 Cuvée or the 18 Cab, but still very nice. — 2 years ago

The colour of amber, the smell of Christmas. We may have drunk this 5 years late, but the flavour is all the better for it! — 9 years ago

2019 vintage. Ruby red. Nose a little shy. Red fruit, with some black coming in, minerality is strong, tannins still have a bite, but chalky and smooth, giving a nice mouthfeel. Needs a good decant now but I think this will have a good future in a couple years. — a year ago

At this point I’m betting it needs some more time to open. Red fruit dominant, though some blue is noticeable. Tannins tight and fully loaded. Medium finish. Different than other George III I’ve had, more red fruited. — 2 years ago

This the 40 year tawny. This is more vibrant than most 40 year tawny ports. I loved this. — 2 years ago

Beautiful light brick-brown colour with pink reflections. First nose evolved on dried fruits, nuts, apricots, then notes evoking maple syrup, peach syrup, hazelnut. Light, creamy, deep, paradoxical fine as great wines know how to make us experience it. Remanent finish, to be tasted certainly once in a lifetime when you can as an aperitif, such as on desserts based on nuts, chocolate, apricots, or with a camembert with raw milk. Serve a little refreshed.

Belle robe brun-brique clair aux reflets rosés.. Premier nez évolué sur les fruits secs, noix, abricots, puis des notes évoquants le sirop d’érable, la pêche en sirop, la noisette. Fin léger, onctueux, profond, paradoxal comme les grands vins savent nous en faire faire l’expérience. Finale rémanente, à goûter assurément une fois dans sa vie quand on peut à l’apéritif, comme sur des desserts à base de noix, chocolat, abricot, ou encore avec un camembert au lait cru. Servir un peu rafraîchi. — 2 years ago

Sweet like a port but not overly sweet or heavy! The port that sips like a cab. — 6 years ago
