Honey roasted campfire. Awesome with anything umami bomb. An excellent representation of Tokaji for the kai-curious. Cork responsibly. — 2 years ago

Nierstein Silvaner 2014

Minerals! Lemonoil, petrol, earth, wool. Quite concentrated, saline, creamy, well balanced. Made me think dry Loire Chenin. But it’s not..
Drinking great right now.

815 California Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Bought at Hawaii Kai Costco. I don’t think I’ve had this vintage. Pleasant enough for the price point. Would buy again. Not remembering the cost. — 2 years ago

Rein Schiefer Nierstein Riesling 2016

9.3

Lovely. Super mineral and precise. No formal notes. Cooking dinner wine. Really long. Will update tomorrow.

Today it’s super minerally with amazing depth of aroma. Still lean but man does it have breadth. Juicy and clean. Like a Riesling razor. 9.2 to 9.3. Juicy, luscious and lime infused finish.

Suntory Tomi no oka

-- 2020

Very nice. Light beginning, heavy mid to after. Feel tannins, full body and quite “round - smooth carved edges” impression but fruity easy to drink lightness that makes it sticky. Toward Merlot? 65% Petit Verdot, 24% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon. Need to try again. — 7 months ago

Niersteiner Hipping GG VDP.Grosse Lage Riesling 2014

Needs an hour decant.

Nose : rich Meyer lemon. Sweet richness. Amazing nose. Hint of lemon floor wax. Elite level intensity. Some smoke as it opens.

Palate: very dense but in a fruity way. Large polished stone minerality. Meyer lemon.

Very particular.
