Halenberg GG Riesling 2021

This feels a step behind the 2020 but is an excellent reminder of the value presented by great dry riesling. This wine is hard to find and rightly so….its a massive and ripe Riesling in a full body style. This wine to me was teetering the on the edge of over ripeness, but nonetheless had wonderful tropical and honeyed fruits. The typical minerality was present, but that took a back seat. My only critique is that it lacked a little focus and some of the linearity I’ve experienced with other vintages from this producer. Much much better on day 2 - this has a long life ahead. Equal to or greater in drinking experience than white burgundy 2-3x the price (albeit a different experience) — 19 days ago

These E&M wines are just stupido! What do i mean by this? Popped opened. Joined 2 bottles into one because i was not convinced/unhappy. Got close to the sink. Then decided leave in the fridge for 2 weeks. And Voilà now quite awesome. Strawberries, tart, rhubarb, ….bark, more red than Rosé. Dark, complex, orange zest, dark cherry. Would age this 2-3 years. Revisit and then decide on even more cellar time. — 21 days ago

Kirchspiel Riesling 2015

😍😍😍

This wine has a gorgeously golden hue. 👁️

On the nose 👃🏻 and palate 👄 are pronounced notes of ripe peach, nectarine, apricot, papaya, white blossom, mandarin pith, kumquat, gardenia, honeysuckle, wet slate, petrol, lanolin, honey, smoke, beeswax, saline, saffron, and flint.

This wine is dry with racy acidity, a textured and mouth-filling quality, and complexity for days. As this wine warms in the glass, we keep uncovering layers! The finish lingers. This wine hits the spot! 🎯

Yet we have no doubt it has runway to age gaining more dried fruit characteristics and added complexity.

Really beautiful and complex Pinot, very aromatic nose and balances flavor that leaned slightly savory without throwing off the balance — a month ago

Liaison Pinot Noir 2019

Needs a good day to open up. At first quite brutal in an unyielding way. I left this on my custom Argon line for a week. Reviewed this many times before. Absolutely delicious and driven by earth herbs and hint of red fruits. More or less for aficionados only (I don’t want to be condescending here) as so much patience is required. Drink now because i do not expect the fruit to hang on all that long. — 4 days ago

Please bring the condescension. Add some accent marks and spice things up a bit. The wallpaper here could use it.

Graacher Domprobst Kabinett Riesling 2022

Very elegant. Lovely balance and aromatics. My preference would be for more acidity, but I realize I’m asking for a different wine at that point. Great pairing massaman curry.

Bumping this up. Day 2 is more open, elevated, and long.
