Stunning out of the gates. Deep olive and granite on the nose. Black olive and blackberry fruit. Palate is so fresh. Like wow fresh. Terrific fruit and granite but also showing some new wood which will breathe out and be perfect by 9PM for Succession. After a few hours it’s silkier, more finessed and has outstanding length — 3 years ago

Schloss Gobelsburg

Kamptal Grüner Veltliner 2020

Wow—so much happening here. Explosively fresh & zesty: key lime curd, spa water (cucumber, mint, lemon slices), green melon, barely ripe apricot, white pepper and marzipan on the nose. Equally as expressive on the palate, with a punctuated saline-tinged finish. A screaming value and at least one good thing to come out of 2020.

Attempting to sharpen my blind tasting skills by tasting Gruner, Albariño & Muscadet (evil triplets) in succession.

Domaine Bernard Baudry

Le Clos Guillot Chinon Cabernet Franc 2018

Raspberry coulis, blackberry juice, mushroom, violet, minerals and barnyard. Tart, explosive purple fruit, some feral, bramble notes on the structured palate, and a succession of furry, prickly tannins. Finish is smoky and bitter. Really massive and opaque, in its own way, hard to evaluate even on day 2. Expect this could gain .2 or more in score as elements resolve. — 4 years ago

Schiopetto

Mario Schiopetto Collio M 2017

Such a flavorful and complex Friulano. Leave this open at least one hour before consuming—decant recommended with aerator. Just the right age. So many flavors come out at once and across the palette: pear and apricot and citrus in succession. A great buy that stood up to Indian Rogan Josh. — 3 years ago

Huge fan here. Too bad the price has gone vertical over the past few years.

Marc Sorrel

Crozes-Hermitage Marsanne 2017

Pleasure and precision in a light, refreshing frame. Kumquat, pawpaw, a hint of butterscotch hard candy. Vibrant succession of mineral, tart fruit, and dairy flavors. Creamy, lithe and brilliant with a lingering finish. Stellar winemaking. — 4 years ago
