Clean, crisp, lovely Sauvignon Blanc from Pouilly-Fume, tonight this surpasses the 2017 (which is cork flawed), last year we had these two side-by-side and preferred the 2017. — 2 days ago

Crisp, clean, refreshing, mineral notes as well, very fine Loire Sauvignon Blanc, though (secretly) I actually prefer this Pouilly-Fume producer’s old-vine Pouilly-Fume!!??!! — 20 hours ago

From a really fine, structured Napa vintage, this shows dark fruits and mineral notes aromatically, still has loads of Dunn Howell Mountain structure and tannin, long, lingering finish, but the finish suggests that it needs 10-20 more years of aging, simply an incredible, old school (13% ABV) Napa mountain Cabernet with amazing length and freshness, a true WOW wine (if you’re moderately unoffended by the enormous structure still remaining)!!! — 4 days ago

This is clearly mature, but great balancing acidity has kept this very lively, Spatlese off-dry sweetness, long, lingering finish, quite fine!! — 7 days ago

8.2

Some cardboard and faint corkiness in the aromas, also some nice honeyed aromas and flavors, medium-long finish, taking a few points off for the musty cork notes, but can tell easily how good the underlying wine should be. — 2 days ago

9.2

From a Napa vintage that I recall as being so-so, this wine shows the Howell Mountain terroir without the normally harsh tannins that were characteristic of Dunn HM wines in the 1980s. But, honestly, this is really lovely, suave, red fruited, with a medium-long finish, and seems way younger than I expected from a 37-year-old Napa Cabernet!! — 4 days ago
