Initially quiet on the nose from the cold, but quickly opening into limestone, intense minerality, nougat, caramel, apricot skin and ripe stone-fruit flesh. The palate is immaculate: unbelievably elegant, deeply concentrated and pure, with gorgeous integration, superb finesse and a wonderfully resolved texture. Juicy and ripe, but the defining feature is the bitter stone-fruit finish, which gives the wine tremendous tension and keeps all that richness perfectly controlled. Fully mature in its architecture now, seamless and complete, with terrific length. Almost 9.7. — 19 days ago

Not your dad’s Cabernet. Lighter colored cab. Pretty nose with present pyrazines v. can franc. But not harsh at all. What a revelation. Super drinkable. I need more. 2022 — 8 months ago

I am not sure Dom is my jam. The overt amount of fruit and yeasty bread is a little too intense for me. — 2 years ago

2022. Lime aromas, complex fruit flavors, saline higher acidity finish. We really liked it with sautéed red cabbage and potato gnocchi. — 6 months ago

Great rosé for a Thanksgiving spread, although it’s a little early (from MCF Rare Wine’s list). Dry and lightly effervescent with a handy reusable bottle cap. Minerals and hay on the nose, currant, sour watermelon candy, dried grass. I’ve had a Stein Riesling before, and the fruit also had a hard candy-like quality. Quality Mosel producer! — 9 months ago

Dense boysenberry in color: nose of blackcurrant, spice and a little licorice; lovely texture of fully ripe fruit that’s bright with just enough supporting tannin. SQN always so solid. — 4 years ago

I am addicted to this wine. Such a treat even when young. Decent color for its age. All sorts of rich fruit - peaches apricot apple and great weight. I will try and be more patient with the 08 going forward for comparison. — 6 years ago

Traditional, classic and (relatively) under-the-radar producer, which was completely unknown to me, till a few months ago.
Wonderfully feinherb, rich, yet elegant.
Lovely. — 3 months ago

Wine was silk. Red fruits that were silky smooth that felt like a beautiful St Etienne Bordeaux will do. I am in love — 6 months ago

So what to post here. This has a 3x100 rating and I am always suspicious when I see it. 97 to 98 for me. The way this wine is integrated is stunning. Multiple layers of flavors and mellowed tannins with alcohol that is muted in the background. A spectacular rendition and no doubt one of the nicest vintages I have had. Glad we had it together with the other wines and champagnes tonight. — 9 months ago
