2007 Dopff & Irion GewurztraminerAlsace Gewürztraminer more |
2/1/2024 - urbanfarmer9@gmail.com Likes this wine: 94 pointsSuch fine honey, fig and spice flavors that it reminds me how phenomenal aged Alsatian can be. Why do I keep thinking premox is a problem with older French white wine? Rates a 94 for pure enjoyment beyond its characteristics. |

2013 Albert Boxler Riesling Sommerberg DAlsace Grand Cru more |
11/28/2019 - urbanfarmer9@gmail.com wrote: 92 pointsThis beauty was lost in Thanksgiving red wines but by next day its greatness was apparent with hard to pair leftovers like aioli and roasted vegetables: acidity, floral notes, apples and citrus flavors. Compared favorably with 2011 Boxler GC Riesling recently enjoyed. |

2010 Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas RenaissanceSyrah more |
2/1/2019 - urbanfarmer9@gmail.com Likes this wine: 91 pointsAgree needs some air but half hour or hour minimum suffices and will soften over time; good insistent gritty Cornas with lovely generous fruit. Best with food of course. A treat. Rating is partly deliciousness but also frustrating rarity of north Rhône in marketplace. |

2007 Pian dell'Orino Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
9/27/2018 - urbanfarmer9@gmail.com Likes this wine: 93 pointsLove this wine. First bottle since 2014 and really loved it then. Lots of fabulous 2017 fruit but also the rustic style comes through with perfect harmony. |

2011 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay 1er Cru Clos des ChênesPinot Noir more |

2009 Faiveley Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux VignerondesPinot Noir more |
11/18/2017 - urbanfarmer9@gmail.com Likes this wine: 92 pointsFound this fresh, exciting, flavorful, elegant and definitely NSGeorge. It’s brilliant with duck roast BTW. Much better than I expected given all the negative comments about Faiveley and my own frustration with some of their earlier wines. Have held 6 bottles of this wine since early 2012 and relieved that they’re a success. |

5/20/2017 - urbanfarmer9@gmail.com Likes this wine: 92 pointsA shame it's so hard to find good vt. It's a good drink on its own and sly companion to so many foods. My last bottle of a case I enjoyed very much. |

2014 Louis Baisinbert Montagny 1er Cru Vieilles VignesPinot Noir more |
1/28/2017 - urbanfarmer9@gmail.com wrote: 89 pointsbright balanced acidity, tart and generous fruit; would have liked more minerality and grit in a white burg but a delight nonetheless. For $35 it may be unbeatable qpr. Why have I never heard of Montagny? |

2010 Domaine des Miquettes St. JosephSyrah more |
9/1/2016 - urbanfarmer9@gmail.com wrote: 91 pointsReally enjoying this; plenty of smooth tannin complementing generous fruit. Not a scary St Joseph but a typically robust one but with personality. 2010 was a good year all around Northern Rhone, including St. Joseph apparently. |

1999 Torres Cabernet Sauvignon (Black Label) Mas La PlanaPenedès more |
4/4/2016 - urbanfarmer9@gmail.com wrote: NRVigorous , tart young finish; best with food which brings out fruit beautifully; a Rioja with manners. Definitely desirable and decant adds fruit. Looking for the old Gran Coronas Black Label from the 70'sand I don't think this is it. At auction for $47 is fairly good qpr. |

2/20/2016 - urbanfarmer9@gmail.com wrote: 90 pointsReminded of cough syrup the first night and so we didn't finish bottle. The second night, the wine was sublime, probably a 93 rating. Wish I had known ahead to decant longer or if there is something I'm missing here. |

2010 Domaine Bruno Clair Marsannay Les LongeroiesPinot Noir more |
1/11/2016 - urbanfarmer9@gmail.com wrote: 90 pointsBy far, the best bottle of the six I've drunk the last few years. At opening the aromas are wonderful; delightful youthful taste at first, then a more rounded mature flavor over a couple hours. Definitely needed time to mature and come together. Would buy again if I could find it. |
