Looks like peach nectar, with the lightest, looping bubbles in a loose bunch atop, becomes a petri sample of fruit fungus, then all clear to firework lacing and morning mist. Big wood notes, though not as toasty in parts, cigar box, funky softwood of dead forest fall, ripe for mushrooms. Lovely dried lemon peel, orange peel, and dried apricot in cigar boxes, live pineapple and pencil shavings in a clean attic. On the palate, yellow cherry, funky sour pineapple, lime-cedar, lemongrass, savory, dried okra, a drop of orange bitters, nose filling blood orange, and lemon oil for the duration. Fantastic nuances, amazing balance, woody depth. Just fine craftsmanship here, from the old school. — 7 years ago

When you look at a petri dish through a microscope and see the surface teeming with bacterial life. That's what this wine tastes like. So much going on, it is bursting with flavor and texture. Slightly zingy carbonation, green apple, raving acidity. Paradoxically focused, yet all over the place. — 10 years ago

Super classic from a great vintage. Bright acids with leather, tobacco, smoke, and a touch of greenness. — a year ago

Ripe, banana meat yellow foam dissipates quickly to Petri dish mold spots, or forming galaxies. Massive caramel nose, and a sexual sweetness featuring a typical, sweat-funk backside. Her name is Candy. She's a double D (devil dancer). She oozes patchouli, dark brown sugar, brittle, clove, and olive oil-drenched cinnamon toast! There is a resinous character to her slow undulations, a burnt corn tortilla she fans the flames of Gehenna with, while garlands of hop flowers spill crackling ashen leaves from their tight nodes. Strands of minuscule bubbles pour forth, champagne-like from the ruddy amber pit. She's gonna bite you, but what a bite, followed by lingering kisses of a burning cotton candy factory! — 11 years ago

Tangerine cream brûlée, pineapple upside down cake and lemon poppyseed muffin snootfull. Merengue textured head that slides off the glass in a bombshell of lemon oil napalm. Cake donut with lemongrass icing that gets tinny and dense as it drops you down the mother shaft of hops! Something cultured and yeasty here right out of Dr. Jekyll's petri samples. It'll change you! But you must hurry...oops today is 420-too? Gorgeous amber full of dinosaur DNA. — 11 years ago

Slightly less than translucent lemon jello body with a shocking white top that reduces to moonscape petri. Lacing of popped bubble letters, ropy driftwood and boomerangs, rests injured under a stretched gauze and morel motif. Super lemon zest and candied embodiments. Torch-fired aluminum mineral manifestations, Salinity-piths abound, featuring lime, grapefruit, kumquat and mellow notes of sweet yellow micro tomatoes, miracle fruit lemongrass-steel.

Active, perfect yellow amber pushing orange hard. Big bubbled beige-yellow head that dropped expectedly quick, with so much action. Petri-dish lacing with cytoplasm graffiti. Huge pineapple nose of fresh-cut ripe fruit! Grapefruit tattoo, but little else. General lemon creaminess; a memo from mandarin. Pineapple rum entry with caramel and vanilla, baked apple, brandy-pear, classy touch of black pepper, allspice, ginseng, soft ginger slices, dried orange peel, anise, and lime. Heady and thick, cut, wiry, and sinewy, but overall, a calculated, choreographed, disciplined display of restrained power, lithe and evocative, with a smooth finish.

Loved this. Thank you Dean Gold for a list stocked with fun oddballs like this. Never had a rosé like this before. It has the thirst-quenching crispness and juiciness of a rosé but the fruit flavors and fleshiness of it are more like red wine than pink. Not like a lambrusco or an actual sparkling red though. There is also a strong sensation of crushed rock and not surprisingly it's super-cloudy and constantly changing in the glass. Apparently this has both white grapes and red in the mix. Lots of fun was had imagining the flesh-eating monsters that would evolve and rise up from this if you left it in a petri dish or fed it after midnight. — 10 years ago

Ok Delectable, this is the second day in a row you don't recognize my wine! Who the f-k is Agostini Petri, can anyone enlighten me? Please. Anyhow in my glass I have a beautiful wine, 1997 Castello Vicchiomaggio La Prima Chianti Classico Riserva, bottled by John Matta. Initially I found myself in Cht9, with dry, sandy tannins but the aftertaste was more like a full-bodied Bordeaux. This is a mature wine, full of dark fruit and cherries, smoked meats, good grip of tannins and acidity that provides a back-bone. Just wish I had lots and lots of bottles in my cellar. Should keep on aging beautifully many more years to come. — 11 years ago

Light, not too sweet, fragrant. Perfect even for those who are not big fans of dessert wines. — 12 years ago
