| Community Tasting Notes (average 87.9 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by JamesSanders on 3/1/2022 & rated 87 points: Bought on release and stored in a 55 degree cellar. This note is from one glass on a pop and pour, with the rest Coravined. Sight is clear and bright on the lighter side of gold. Nose is stones, lemon and a whiff of petrol and bees wax. Acidity dominates the mouth and just rips through some Vietnamese ground pork. I'll wait another five years before opening another bottle, as it's still a bit too shrill for me. (434 views) | | | Tasted by guitarguy on 6/26/2019 & rated 90 points: I liked this, a mature Riesling with just a hint of petrol and marmalade but a pretty mouth-puckering glob of lemon. Drink now. (835 views) | | | Tasted by guitarguy on 5/9/2019 & rated 86 points: This had a blunt bitterness behind the lemony tart acidity first impression. It really dries up a bit and leaves a bit of bitter lemon peel that wasn't great. I didn't get much more than a hint of petrol and the nose had a bit of lemon curd. I would drink these now. (677 views) | | | Tasted by chifred on 12/4/2016: Quick note: dark yellow. Petrol, apple, pear on the nose. Medium to fullish body with smooth, almoset oily feel. The faintest bit oxidized? (1194 views) | | | Tasted by chifred on 12/30/2013 & rated 87 points: Better than I remembered but still primarily bright, clean, high acid. Went well with Weiss wurst and braised cabbage. (2780 views) | | | Tasted by chifred on 6/13/2013 & rated 84 points: Tons of acid, really overwhelms anything else for me. Really puckered up, not sure if I've ever had such a high acidity wine before. Medium weight and moderate finish, Ended up going well with salad and vinegar based dressing. Maybe a few more years in the cellar will help. (2768 views) | | | Tasted by mikeaukenbals on 1/15/2013 & rated 88 points: decent, but wouldn't buy again (2979 views) | | | Tasted by skurtz on 9/13/2012: Nice and dry, hint of apple. Not sweet and not sour. Very drinkable. From Moore Brothers. 3 out of 5 stars. (2200 views) | | | Tasted by hkoben on 6/30/2012 & rated 89 points: Great acidity. If I can resist opening my other three bottles soon, because it is drinking well, the edges will soften. Excellent value. (2857 views) | | | Tasted by danibus on 12/26/2011 & rated 89 points: Dry rocky goodness. My kind of profile. Excellent acidity, balance, and concentration. With food or without. The kind of QPR white you always want on hand for guests or difficult pairings. (1665 views) | | | Tasted by nospeel on 9/3/2011 & rated 89 points: Nice - stony dry. Great food wine as acidity breaks through. This is balanced against some stone fruit and minerals. Lovely. (1762 views) | | | Tasted by Dale M on 8/28/2011 & rated 90 points: Solid Alsatian Riesling that absolutely pierces the salivary glands with focused and penetrating acidity, yet it wasn’t obnoxious or over bearing as the wine also carried plenty of supporting material in the form of refreshing pear and apple, add some suggestions of cool mint on the finish and I am very happy with this Garagiste $20 white, will be looking for more. (1629 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 8/24/2011 & rated 86 points: Nose - floral, wax,
Mouth - fully dry, very tart, pear flavors in there but overwhelmed by the acidity. A definite food wine. (1435 views) | | | Tasted by pdxwineguy on 8/15/2011 & rated 90 points: Drank over two nights Excellent wine on first night. Popped and poured. Had great acidity and petrol with that Alsatian something. Second night more filled out and complex with herbs and super long mineral finish yep kept it's balance. (1405 views) | | | Tasted by envirovino on 5/25/2011 & rated 89 points: I thought the IWC note was pretty close. Yellow gold color. Not much on the nose - mabye too cold at first. Dry, med weight so seemd to have substance. Some lemon, cantelope-ish flavors. OK finish, a touch puckery vs smooth. (1823 views) |

Garagiste (11/16/2010)
(ROSENBERG Riesling BARMES) Alsace Dear Friends, Timing is everything. This offer was slated for early December but yesterday’s Tanzer forces a quick move to this morning. Barmes-Buecher was one of the stars of yesterday’s glowing 2008 IWC Alsatian review and that’s not a surprise. I secured the examples below a few months ago as they were scintillating, pure and stalactite-rich versions of Riesling that have become endangered species in a region global warming appears to have selected as its guinea pig (especially to the far south of Colmar). If you are a fan of Riesling (everything from the Wachau to the Mosel), you will nod your head in appreciation for what Francois Barmes has accomplished in 2008 – it’s that exciting (exhilarating is more appropriate). All are naturally made and 100% BIO/organic with a transparency of origin and vintage that sets them apart. A few words from Francois: “Wine is made on the vine and not in the winery. Any treatments are carried out using plant extracts :- nettle, horsetail, osier, yarrow, chamomile and valerian. Naturally, each variety, which is the signature of its terroir, is harvested apart, the grapes are sorted by a team of 6 to 10 people who in turn remove the few remaining damaged berries or grapes gathered by the harvesters. Each wine is then gently pressed in two pneumatic presses for 6 to 16 hours. Thanks to the work that has previously been carried out, no chaptalization, no fining, no enzyme treatment, and no yeast addition are needed”. Did I say these were a labor of love? They are. In addition, You can throw darts at the examples below – it’s not an “either or” proposition – all command significant attention and all will age for decades, even the Rosenberg Riesling, which is one of the top 2008 examples in all of Alsace at its price-point. Keep in mind, Tanzer tasted these at home, over 48-72 hours (which is closer to the way I taste), not just a few sips at the winery and his enthusiasm is about as palpable as I can remember. If you’ve been searching for a few bottles of Riesling to cellar, you can dive in head-first as the reward should be well-worth your patience 10-20 years from now. I’ve also tried to keep the pricing as low as possible on the entire parcel. FIRST COME FIRST SERVED up to 12 x each wine until we run out – quantities are finite – they hardly had any left when I secured these and I'm sure they are already on 2009 at this point (which is the opposite style of 2008)... 2008 Domaine Barmes-Buecher Riesling Rosenberg 1er - (I'm offering this at close to zero margin to give you the impetus to try it – compare at $25-30+; if you are price-checking, the Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner Rosenberg are several price-points below this – the Riesling is line-priced with the Pinot Gris Rosenberg) 2008 Domaine Barmes-Buecher Riesling Hengst Grand Cru - (compare at $40-45+ in the US) 2008 Domaine Barmes-Buecher Riesling Steingrubler Grand Cru - (compare at 50+ in the US) I almost forgot, a few of you may be interested in the following bonus wine as well (what appears to be the highest rated/lowest priced of its genre)...EXTREMELY LIMITED/VERY RARE: 2008 Domaine Barmes-Buecher Pinot Gris Rosenberg Vendange Tardive (500 ml) - (this is not the regular Pinot Gris Rosenberg de Wettolsheim, compare at $70+ in the US) To order any of the above: niki@garagistewine.com (as an additional bonus, many of you have asked for Huet over the last few weeks, spurred by my references of late – give our friend Lyle Fass a shout at: lyle.fass@grapesthewineco.com He’s secured a parcel of Huet sec from 2007 at prices that are fantastic – Grapes is not affiliated with us in any way but they deserve a nod for a top offer) This parcel is set to depart the cave – it will arrive in Jan (please check OARS for local pick up after Jan 15th). It will ship during the Spring shipping season and will cellar for years... Out of state orders will be held for free under ideal storage conditions (56 degrees/70%humidity) until shipping is possible. Locals may pick up at their leisure.
