La Madras Vineyard El Malbec 2010

Ah, the 2010 vintage of Ricardo Santos Malbec, a transcendental libation that beckons the soul into the labyrinthine depths of vinicultural exuberance. As I imbibed this elixir, my palate embarked on an odyssey through an enigmatic symphony of hedonistic flavors. The terroir speaks with the eloquence of a thousand poets, invoking an avant-garde pas de deux between dark fruit and enigmatic earthiness.

The tannins, oh, the tannins! Like philosophers engaged in a Socratic dialogue with one's senses, they debate their existence before yielding to a seductive silkiness that borders on a Vinous epiphany. Its finish lingers, not unlike the sermons of a zealous street preacher, echoing in the inner sanctum of one's mind.

In conclusion, Ricardo Santos' 2010 Malbec is a vinous riddle wrapped in an enigmatic enigma, destined to provoke laughter, tears, and existential contemplation. A masterpiece of humorous absurdity in a glass!

Smooth red apple, a** kicking tropical acidity and a solid minerality! Everything happens at the same time, but never too much. Lighthearted summer-juice or uplifting november-fix: it works! — 6 months ago

1,000L Riesling

Dry and mineral driven, with a very light, slightly green hue, and a slightly medium and oily look to the consistency, but not noticeable when you’re sipping. Big nose of tart citrus, leychee, wet stone and some gentle florals with grassy notes and a hint of lemon rind. Very fruit forward but also dry, with tropical notes of underripe pineapple, Meyer lemon, leading to a dry mineral finish. — 5 months ago

Mosel Riesling 2020

Absolutely delicious Mosel Riesling here that feature the wet slate and mineral notes that really define the region for me. Some honey and peach on the nose as well, but inside it is a well balanced and concentrated amount of citrus and pear. A touch of sweetness, but beautifully weighed with the justice scales of acid. — a year ago
