Redemption for a underperforming bottle from our last go at this 1992. If you're buying old wine and didn't anticipate bottle variation, you need to know that's just part of the game. This bottle is fantastic.
(Enjoying alongside the '88 again today, no slouch on that bottle!)
On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading Sarah KIRKLAND SNIDER (Forward into Light; BSO Premiere), PROKOFIEV (Violin Concerto No. 2 in G Minor, Opus 63) and DVOŘÁK (Symphony No. 7 in D Minor, Opus 70).
Our soloist today Augustin Hadelich rounds out the program with Prokofiev’s intense Violin Concerto No. 2, and Andris Nelsons leads the BSO in Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7 – sometimes called the composer's greatest symphony. — 2 years ago
Spectacular. Love the acidity, Lyme and rock notes, Apple, pear with a dry finish. Completely different than any Riesling we have ever had — 6 years ago

From Calvert Woolsey $30 for 2019 on 7/17/2022. Cammomille, flowers. Exactly what Riesling should be. — 4 years ago
Really great. Not as earthy as a burgundy but not as light and fruity as a California coastal. The best of both worlds. — 6 years ago
Bubble gum color. Unripe strawberry, raspberry, crushed stone, slight herbal, great acidity and minerality. — 7 years ago
Another underrated region for Pinot Noir, though may not be for long. Climate change may for this persnickety varietal to take refuge in the high altitude cool vineyards of the Aalto Adige. Certainly checks all the right boxes for Pinot. Light bodied, med alcohol, high acidity, bright fruit, elegance. — 5 months ago

If every supermarket had this on shelf for 9€, the world would be a happy place ;)
Floral with green apples, underripe apricots, white pepper. Very GrüVe.
On the palate racy, juicy, zingy, fresh.
Light yet with enough substance plus good purity and a peppery, salty twist towards the finish. Plus for the brilliant vintage.
Delightful. — 4 years ago
