This was young but lovely. Creamy, viscous, citrus zip, chamomile, spring meadow — a month ago

Light and chill-able red with some zip! Natty on the nose with a crunchy, spicy, juicy palate. First had it at La Cave Du Cours in Nice. $40 at Grape Witches. — a year ago

Solid! My style with ample brioche and nuts. Dark gold color. Light on zip and acidity. — 2 years ago

Loved this over several nights, exuberant and exotic with zip and phenolics to hold everything up. Apricot, pineapple, racing citrus notes, mushrooms, candied ginger, saffron, white tea, herbs. — 3 years ago

From mag. Rich and lush. Lost of zesty lemon zip. Slate and stone and a yellow flower floral notes. A hint of marzipan and a saline note. Punchy and dynamic. Surprisingly approachable give it’s age and the format size. delicious — 2 months ago

Pop and pour through an aerator.

NOSE: cherry cordial, plum…fruit leathers from when I was a kid. Vanilla bean and chocolate. A little clove. Sandalwood. A dash of something tropical…like mango. Interesting.

TASTE: fresh cherry, nice zip of acidity, baking spices, fragrant wood, a little milk chocolate. Finished w/a little cooked meat. Medium weight, a little thin. Probably not worth the price to me - there are other Riojas in the same price range or cheaper that I much prefer - but good. 89.

Gave this 45 min slow ox to really open. On the nose: peach, soft ginger, limestone, orange, just so intensely aromatic. On the palate: fantastic acidity, good salinity, mulberry leaf, limestone, peach...wow, love that density paired with the zip. Another absolutely stunning showing. — 3 years ago

Riesling on Thanksgiving is turning into a tradition!

Better than previous bottles. Nicely balanced between petrol, sweetness, and acidity. Wine could have used a little more zip, but high quality. Paired well with cheese and shrimp cocktail. — 5 months ago

Absolutely wonderful wine. Nice one to snag from a recent Manhattan Wine sale. Decanted 3+ hours, surprisingly accessible at this stage. Somewhat reticent on the nose, even after the decant. But so nice on the palate - perfect body, lots of red fruit, crunchy tart cherry, excellent acidity that hits very nicely in the mid to late palate that brings good zip. Tannins are there and ever so slightly chunky but doesn’t get in the way at all. Perfect with some simple roast chicken with mushrooms cooked in the chicken fat and jus. — 3 years ago
