2005 Trimbach Riesling Cuvée Frédéric EmileAlsace more |
4/21/2024 - ylkim30 Likes this wine: NRA little more white fruit driven than the Austrian wines, though still primarily mineral-forward on the palate. This does feel ripe for a CFE, and while the acidity is sufficient and lively, it’s a little richer and fuller than other iterations of this wine I’ve had in the past. Still quite good, but definitely not as steely and tense as I expected. |

2017 Prospice Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Quintessence VineyardRed Mountain more |
4/23/2024 - Pedroel Likes this wine: 89 pointsQuintessence is in my top two or three favorite vineyards, seemingly producing stellar wines from multiple vintners. However, this time something went a bit sideways. It’s fine, but has an odd plum flavor overriding all else. Prospice’s track record, albeit kinda short, is excellent, so it’s hard to point the finger there. Nonetheless, it’s a step short of well balanced and yummy. |

4/21/2024 - ylkim30 wrote: flawedA less intense, less complex, less interesting version of the Fass Severin. Petrol on the nose, still decent acidity, but kind of bruised apple and bland on the palate. The person who brought it thought it was oxidized, and generally less good, than his other bottles. Oh well. |

1997 Nikolaihof Riesling Fass Severin VinothekWachau more |
4/21/2024 - ylkim30 Likes this wine: NRI actually had this a couple of months ago, and I felt back then it was a little woody on the finish. This bottle was much better though: very subtle white flower on the nose while the palate is loaded with minerals. It has an elegant, perhaps slightly waxy, mouthfeel and excellent tension and energy, with a hit of tart acidity and spiciness on the finish. No overt oak flavor, though the spice at the end may be a product of the barrel influence (this is aged in large oak cask for 25 years). |

4/21/2024 - ylkim30 Likes this wine: NRThere are loads of mineral and hints of citrus on the palate, with a polished, smooth, viscous texture. Acidity is well-integrated into the palate. Very classy wine. Person who brought it thinks it's at its peak right now, based on other bottles he has had. |

4/23/2024 - Brian Glas Likes this wine: 91 pointsTasted after 1 hour of air. Pale ruby color. Very crunchy. High acid. Very sweet raspberry fruit. Nice cut and delineation. Some spice. Nice high toned fruit on the mid palate. Mr. Adam is crazy man for making wines from these no name verticals. I love them. Wine would be boring if everyone followed the same formula. |

4/21/2024 - ylkim30 wrote: NRThis is relatively large scaled and big boned with very mature and oxidative flavors (or as a friend described it: oxidized). The acidity is still there and there is a lovely mineral undertone to the palate, but this is past peak, if still enjoyable. |

1975 Schloss Eltz Rauenthaler Baiken Riesling AusleseRheingau more |
4/21/2024 - ylkim30 Likes this wine: NRAfter uncorking, there was initially a hit of turpentine on the nose, however it blows off, and you get aromas of caramel and petrol. The color is getting dark (a light brown), but the palate is still lively and fresh, with mature flavors reminding me of apricot, sour orange, burnt sugar, spices, and ginger. The sweetness, though, is not particularly pronounced. This is probably on the downslope, but it seems to be a rather graceful descent into senescence. Charming and delightful. |

4/21/2024 - ylkim30 Likes this wine: NRThis is intense and rich, yet balanced, elegant (almost airy on the palate) with yellow fruit, spices, anise, medicinal herbs, and perhaps the subtleist hint of botrytis. The sweetness is well-integrated and the finish is mouth-wateringly tart. |

2019 Frédéric Magnien Morey St. Denis BlancChardonnay more |
4/23/2024 - La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 92 pointsFrédéric Magnien's 2019 Morey St. Denis Blanc is an impressive village-level white Burgundy that offers an aromatic array of blood oranges, Braeburn apples, honeysuckle, wet stones and coriander. Medium-bodied, racy, lightly oaked and with well-integrated alcohol (listed as 13%), it delivers flavors comparable to the aromas and has excellent mid-palate density. Lengthy and crisp on the back end, this sleek wine should provide plenty of pleasure over the next 4-5 years. Popped and poured, it showed best after 30 minutes of air and at a serving temperature of 50-55°F. Drink now-2029. |

2019 Goodfellow Family Cellars Pinot Noir Durant VineyardDundee Hills more |
4/23/2024 - Nutty08 Likes this wine: 93 pointsSomehow I hadn't opened one of these until now. Beautiful light ruby color. Red fruited, with strawberry notes dominating, but some orange peel and rhubarb mixed in. Quite fine, focused and refreshing on the palate--but more open than these are sometimes on release. Tannins there but light touch and add structure without being austere. Has a hint of baking spice on the finish that's quite intriguing and adds complexity. No harm in opening if you have several--but I suspect this is early on it's maturity and will continue to improve. |

4/23/2024 - eschaefer Likes this wine: 96 pointsI didn’t believe it till I tasted it. Blinded you would think Le Montrachet. Green golden straw colored. Perfect coloring. Medium to full bodied and RICH. Stone fruits, oily white flowers and rocky minerality on the nose. Acacia, sweet white peach and flint on the palate. OMG this wine is soooo good. The only limiting factor for 97-98 for me was a little bit acidic and thin on the finish. But that’s just me. Smarter people than me ranked this 98+ and i totally get it. Highly recommended. What a treat. Cheers |

4/20/2024 - tomoem Likes this wine: 91 pointsJust received these wines with my allocation. Very well structured wine which emerges immediately on the nose with a berry nose of cranberry, blueberry and .... yes ...some blackberry. In mouth the wine is creamy loads of acidity (insuring ageability) and mildly present tannins. Fairly significant wine which is worth finding. |
