Unparalleled

Coho

SummitVine Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Nearly black in glass with no variation; blood when underlit. Nose shows rich black currant, cassis, licorice and espresso notes accented with violet and pecan; Black cherry and tobacco peek through cinnamon and nutmeg. Sensuous. Heavier mouthfeel shows focused blackberry, prune and mocha, coffee liqueur and vanilla bean, powerful tobacco and a soft cedar. Tannins well integrated, and resonance unparalleled with dark fruits washing like an ocean at night.

9.8

Now we are talking. This wine is absurd. Nose is so pretty. Floral, meaty, granite, so fine. So fragrant and refined. Just crazy. So deep but so subtle and restrained. Amazing minerality. Wow the palate is so elegant and in like with 18 with tremendous structure but it’s so silken and the fruit is so pure it’s seamless. This is the best Cote Rotie I’ve had from George. Wow. Just a stunner. So young but the level of refinement is unparalleled. — 3 years ago

Ziereisen

Jaspis 10^4 Baden Alte Reben Spätburgunder 2016

Lyle Fass
9.9

The new, top cuvee at Ziereisen. Sickness. Nose has the purest flowers, most vivid fruit I’ve ever smelled in a Ziereisen. It’s just surreal. Epic limestone but also a sauvage meatiness. This is like Chambertin.

Wow this is elegant. Silken Pinot. Wow, what texture, finesse and elegance. Incredible sap and concentration but never heavy. Wow this is long. Insane freshness. It’s obviously young but this is truly special. The fruit and energy of this wine is unparalleled. This is a gift Hanspeter has given to the wine world. Out of this world. Will follow it. 9.8 for now. Finish is minutes. Fruit is really red and so focused. Like it’s in 5D! I need to let this breathe as I know it will get crazier. Best red I’ve ever had from Ziereisen.

Ok we are 9.8 to 9.9 now. This is scary good. The finish is endless. The nose is full blown confectionary. This is maybe the best German Pinot I’ve ever had. The finesse is just beyond anything. The weightlessness.

Lemberger Blaufränkisch

9.5

This is a new winery just called “Enderle”- please correct @Delectable Wine

Lemberger. Blaufrankisch! What a nose. In your face with cola aromas, red cherry, root beer, huge anise and serious boysenberry. Gorgeous earth under and superb red fruits. Palate is OMG juicy with unreal fruit that is so juicy and so lively. My god the fruit is so yummy and the energy here is unparalleled. Wow. Blackberry galore and just insane little tiny berry intensity. Unreal concentration and freshness. So good. The ultimate hedonistic wine? Maybe! Unreal energy and freshness and finishes with just sicko mineral and blackberry flower. Wow!

Pietranera Toscana IGT 2021

Delectable Wine
9.1

The 2021 Pietranera (80% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet) is spiced with a bouquet of dusty rose, sage and cherry. It’s soft, round and juicy to the core, with stimulating acids that propel its wild berry fruits. The 2021 finishes fresh with potent raspberry and licorice. It's an unparalleled value. $20.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, October 2022) — 3 years ago

9.6

Auction. Intense botrytis in lean (by Egon standards) kabinett frame. Length and complexity for days. However, disjointed acidic finish that I’m hoping isn’t a telltale sign for how 2001s will end up. Serious class and unparalleled pedigree. — 5 years ago
