Erdener Pralat Riesling Auslese 2014
Vintage 2014 | With the famous label of a monk that examines a glass of wine | Beautiful tropical fruit expression in smell, passion fruit and peach. Light gold colour, nice acidity on the tongue and sweet aftertaste. Vibrant, beautiful. Tasted on its own yesterday and today with a slice of toast with Bleu d’Auvergne. Life is good. — 6 months ago

Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese Riesling *** 2018
Upon opening there's the usual Riesling petroleum nose, but this cleared off quickly. This left a pineapple and apricot nose. And wow. Juicy pineapple and lemon, super fresh and juicy, and so smooth. This is gorgeous! Note: After drinking this for a bit we determined it was a little too sweet. We understood it was a late harvest wine so it is supposed to be sweet, so this is a personal preference. — 2 years ago
"Odedi"
Matar by Pelter Strauss 2020, Israel
#KosherWineSunday
Inky in color with a reddish rim.
Strong nose with black fruits, tobacco, oak, licorice, black pepper and chocolates.
Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with black currants, cooked plums, oak, wild flowers, tobacco, licorice, light earth, coffee, bitter herbs, spices, tar and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a very tasty Syrah from Israel. Fruit forward and extracted. Nicely balanced and bold. Rich and good by itself or with food.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime. Really enjoyed the nose once it opened up.
I Had the 2017 three years ago, and it felt very different. This vintage feels like an Australian Shiraz.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.
Paired nicely with cheeses and crackers.
100% Shiraz grapes from the Galilee region were aged in French oak barrels for 16 months. Kosher and not Mevushal.
15% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$30. — a month ago
