Oily and viscous golden wine; the smell is like sticking your nose in a bouquet of perfumed lillies and roses - quite striking; and on the palate it is opulent, fairly high in acidity for the region, and had a mile-long finish with tropical fruits. Had with sushi! — 2 years ago
One of the perfection and rarity of Alsace, a wonderful wine to meditate and to taste at least once in your life 😋 an historic family domaine - tense and very pure wine - The Domaine's Riesling wines have a fine and delicate fruitiness, they are racy, nervy, dry but at the same time they are mature and long on the palate. Riesling is such a prestigious grape variety that it is considered as the king of Alsace wines 😜👏 — 6 years ago
Ripe deep dark fruit on nose with dark chocolate notes. Round, fleshy and supple with ripe tannins on mouth. Enjoyed with a skirt steak. — 7 years ago
Deep garnet. Aromatic, floral, red fruit. Violet, spice, sage, thyme and bacon fat. M- acid, m body and soft round tannin. Still has lots of structure. Black fruit, saline and baking spices. If tasted blind, I would never call it a 2001. It still has a lot of time left. Fantastic! — 4 years ago

If all Sauvignon Blanc tasted like this, I'd drink it every day. Seriously, is there a hotter winery in Napa right now than Lail? — 4 years ago
