1hr+ decant. Super complex and refined nose. Wine has pencil shavings, chocolate, tar, dark cherries, cedar, and spice. Great depth and long finish. This was amazing!! — 20 days ago

Chateau Ste. Michelle

Indian Wells Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Not bad, more acid and fruit , less tannin and lighter than Napa to me. Still ok though, had worse. Prefer a Routestock or Cathedral Creek or Joel Gott. — a day ago

Clos Ste. Hune Alsace Riesling 2017

Opened about 30min prior to service. The 2017 Clos Ste. Hune pours a pale straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing wjth beguiling notes of the perfectly ripe Comice pear, a mix of stone and tropical fruits, lemon blossom, a touch of petrol and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish lasts forever. This is unbelievably balanced and a fantastic pairing with the toro crudo. This is just at the beginning of what’s sure to be a very long drinking window. Enjoy now through 2057. — 2 months ago

Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Spätlese Riesling 2002

Six bottles drink between 2008 and 2026 with early notes showing a beautiful balance of sweet fruit, acidity and slate minerality. Sadly, bottles opened ‘24 and ‘26 had bad corks and slight oxidation. Rating for early bottles if you’re lucky enough to have some and the corks are intact. — 3 months ago

Cuvée Frédéric Emile Alsace Riesling 2002

The last of a case. A wonderful wine, though the age is not to everyone’s taste, no doubt. — 13 days ago

Cayuse Vineyards

Bionic Frog Walla Walla Valley Syrah 2018

1.5 hour decant(little sediment). A gorgeous dark magenta color. On the nose: dark fruit, that Cayuse funk(luv it), smoked meat, burnt caramel, bell pepper, orange rind. Taste: bold, polished, savory wine with blackberry, grilled cherry, bacon fat, minerals, gamey, and a long lingering peppery finish. YUM! Delicious. — 13 days ago

@Dave A must try syrah....the savory complexity along with a little funk from "The Rocks" district.

Scharzhofberger Kabinett Riesling 2016

Drink je droomwijnen diner. @#rijks. Wow this is next level semi sweet Riesling. Dancing on its feet and untouchable. Like touching and smelling the virgin alpine snow on a blank slope. Very light sweetness, Riesling fruits and a surprisingly low degree of petroleum. Awesome. — a month ago

Very good vintage but seems a bit off. More fruit forward than expected. May need time in cellar. @home as part of a new world bordeaux blend wine blind tasting. — 2 months ago

Grosset

Polish Hill Clare Valley Riesling 2016

Fresh and pristine even at 10 years of age. Arguably Australia’s best Riesling - certainly in the top 3. Aromatics of lime juice with a tiny hint of TDN (paraffin in this case) and a hint of honey. Overall ultra pure with M+ intensity and a touch of peach on the palate. This could be confidentally cellared for another 5 years for added complexity. Dry Riesling doesn’t get much better than this. — a month ago

@Bob McDonald no gasoline on the nose? Have some older ones I need to pull.

Dönnhoff

Oberhäuser Leistenberg Kabinett Riesling 2025

Excellent. Sip on its own. Or pair with asian food. Can’t really go wrong with Dönnhof. And at this level and with srewcap this over delivers - the typical tropical flavors - very well balanced with just the right amount of acidity. Obviously sweet at just 8.5%. — a month ago

Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling 2002

After the crappy Kiwi Chardonnay (Luta), we needed something of impeccable quality and breeding, so here we are. This incredible Spatlese from JJ Prum, other than the color, is just beginning to show its charms, this will last MANY MORE years, but such a privilege to drink such a phenomenal Mosel legend, mineral, sweet apricot and peach fruit, amazing acidity, great length, LOVE this stuff!! (P.S. — I have NO intention in getting involved in the Casagrande clan’s metal band debate, I’d rather just drink old JJ Prum Riesling!!) — 2 months ago
