Domberg Spätlese Riesling 2021

9.6

Killer nose. White cherries, peaches and apricots. Jellied and ripe but also has a palpable sense of minerality. White chocolate sprinkles. So delicate and detailed. Palate is a dream. Juicy and intense like a liquid sweet tart. Such intense but clean and caressing acids. So dense and chewy but loose as well. This is so delicious and so well made. Wow. Long electric finish. Stunning wine and QPR. As it aired it gained finesse and length. Genius. — 21 days ago

Cornas Syrah 2015

Oh baby is this in the zone. Nose is incredible. Wafting aromas of black olive, black berry fruit with a crystalline purity to it. So dense. So aromatic. Just killing it. Wow. Stunning clarity. Had good luck with Gilles recently. Amazing palate. Just unreal fruit and it’s everywhere! Just saturates with granite infused juicy, lip smacking insanity. So dazzlingly pure. The granite expression is crazy. What a finish. So complex and has that extra that makes it a great vintage. Unreal depth and concentration. Holy shit. This is total genius. — 3 years ago

Mad Crush Grenache Blend

Excellent blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Tempranillo instead of Syrah. Works very well. I saw this described as “dusty fruits” which I take to mean earthy, and just slightly subdued. Relatively smooth and opens up nicely with air time. Will keep the other bottles for a while to see how the evolve. Another good effort from ONX wines out of Pasa Robles. Cheers — 4 years ago

Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

We ordered multiple bottles of this tonight for a group of construction stiffs who usually drink Busch Light. They acted and drank like this was the greatest wine that is on earth. I was perfect with Filets & Jumbo Scallops. I recommend eating at Ziggie & Mad Dog’s in the Keys — 2 months ago

CJ Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

2010 vintage, bought while living in Napa. This wine impressed me in 2012 and still does after 8 years in the bottle. Philippe Melka is a genius. Wish I had more! — 3 years ago
