2020 Rall Chenin Blanc Ava

Swartland more

1/21/2024 - G_H wrote: NR

Way too young for my taste, but with air and - most importantly - with room temperature, this starts showing well.

Gooseberry, green apple, great cool climate aromatics and an amazing salinity.

Tuck this baby away for years…

2019 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon

Rutherford more

5/12/2022 - G_H wrote: 96 points

A complete Scarecrow vertical: Assessing the potential development of such a young wine is hard, especially after such an intense tasting. But I'm extremely positive on the 2019 Vintage in Napa in general but on this wine in particular. This will have the weightless intensity, with an extra punch of intensity.

2019 Screaming Eagle Sauvignon Blanc

Oakville more

2/28/2024 - G_H wrote: 92 points

Three decades of Screaming Eagle: Boysenberry, passion fruit, sweet greens, mirabels, much sweeter than what I'd expect from a Sauvignon Blanc. Decent acidity, medium bodied and medium length.

2019 Karl Erbes Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Beerenauslese

Tasted blind. Cold Popcorn, yellow plums, dried corn for popping, a mix of black and green tea-leaves and some apple notes. Incredibly dense and opulent, very long with a good acidity.

Well, this was way too young and I would give it at least 25 years before sampling a bottle. If you can wait that long...

2018 Fattoria Le Pupille (Elisabetta Geppetti) Saffredi Toscana IGT

Red Bordeaux Blend more

3/2/2023 - G_H wrote: 94 points

Shockingly approachable for such a young wine. Some cassis, blueberries and strawberries are there but they are matched with some delicious spice notes like allspice and cinnamon. This might shut down in a couple of months, but right now it’s a pleasure to drink.

Good wine, fragrant with typical Sauvignon Blanc notes, a bit lacking in the palate to merit a higer score.

Still in that pretty fruit phase. Creme de cassis, chocolate (both dark and milk), dusty tannin structure. Delicious to taste now

I do like the opulent and rich chardonnay, but this just seems off, not enough acidity and overly fat. 2018 is a challenging year for riper terroirs

A complete Scarecrow vertical: Dense, opulent, toasted notes, some hazelnut. At the end of a long tasting and such a young wine, assessing the potential development is hard, but I'm quite positive that this will be a classic Scarecrow.

Fantastic Meursault, rather cool and surprisingly mineralic this needed a kot of air and room temp to really shine. Even better the next day!

Clearly too young, but with a great aging potential. A bit restrained on the nose but very powerful palate, I would give this five years in a cold cellar before re-tasting

One of my favorite Andremily, this is already so approachable. Opulent with a beautifully sweet black fruit bouquet. This is so delicious and easy drinking that we had to fight for every glass of this around the table.

I’m usually prefer wines with quite some maturity on them, but with this one, why wait?

Lemon juice, lemon peel, some sulfur, intense acidity, this felt more like a Riesling than a Weissburgunder. Well made, but in this stage not a lot of pleasure for me to drink

A complete Scarecrow vertical: Oysters, chalk, surprisingly this had the most sweetness from all the vintages, fairly ripe and ready to drink. This vintage kind of fell out of line with the rest of the vertical.
