Comondor Red Blend 2008

Jahrgang 2008! Eine Cuvée aus Blaufränkisch, Zweigel und Merlot aus Gols vom Altmeister "John" Nittnaus. Lange, lange hat es gedauert, aber genau jetzt zeigt dieser Wein was in ihm steckt. Schon beim ersten Mal ins Glas riechen merkt man, dieser Wein ist etwas ganz besonderes. Das, was dann im Mund passiert solltet Ihr unbedingt selbst erleben. Eine perfekte Balance aus Frucht(Kirche/Zwetschgen/Brombeeren), beeindruckender Länge und perfekt eingebundenen Tanninen. Welch ein Meisterwerk! Ich bin überwältigt. Chapeau! Deshalb liebe ich Wein! — 9 years ago

Jacques Selosse

Substance Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

18-8, Disgorged in 2023. Holy shit, this is bloody amazing!!!! The nose is intensely elegant. Honey brioche, baked apples and spices. Bubbles are fine and sexy. On the palate, it's super - complex, layered and lengthy. And the fact it's only Disgorged last year...wow! My first Selosse. I now know why it's so hyped and I cannot disagree. Chapeau. — 2 years ago

Sine Qua Non

Ox Pinot Noir 1999

1999 Sine Qua Non “Ox” Pinot Noir from the wonderful Shea Vineyard in Yamhill County, Oregon. 14% alcohol. I’ve always loved the simple label on this gigantic bottle with the cavernous punt. And I was all ready to wax poetic about the romance of opening one of these older SQNs as, based on a couple of recent tastings, I was told that this bottle is well over the hill. Well, that just ain’t so. At least not with this bottle which has been lovingly stored since release. Now I’m not going to try and convince you that the “Ox” is at its peak, but the old girl still has some tricks up her sleeve. Crystal clear, bright, medium garnet appearance. A little bricky on the edges. Smokey notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, truffles and clove on the nose. Quite vibrant palate of sweet strawberries and cola as well as spice box with a hint of vanilla, toast and that clove. A touch earthy. Nice acidity. Super silky mouthfeel. Short, but decent smokey finish with a bite reminiscent of Sweet Tarts candy. Tangy! Extremely enjoyable! Well made is well made. Chapeau Mr. Krankl! — 8 years ago

Prior to our making onto the list. Our earliest PN offering was No. 6. Did you decant?

@Joseph Barsky One hour decant although I’m not sure it made much of a difference on a 19 year old Pinot.

One of the best raw wines I have ever had. Raw honey, black cherry, leather, mint. Any French wine maker willing to throw Tempranillo in with Syrah, Grenache and Merlot gets my vote! — 5 years ago
