1995 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Brand Vendange TardiveAlsace Grand Cru more |
1/27/2017 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 96 pointsDinner at Fairview Dining Room. While dinner was quite disappointing this bottle kept up its end of the bargain. One of the most beautiful Rieslings ever made and still drinking in a youthful state. Deep gold in color, this wine was filled with exuberant fruit such as apricots, apples and pears. Superb minerality from its terroir and a little horseradish from the botrytis. Plenty of acidity nicely balances this legendary wine. 50+14+14+9+9=96 |

2001 Schoffit Pinot Gris Rangen de Thann Clos St.-Théobald Sélection de Grains Nobles Larme de LaveAlsace Grand Cru more |
8/27/2015 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 98 pointsDinner at Bolt. Dark amber in color. This bottle is very open but also terribly young. Very high sugar but surprisingly there are some Rangen characteristics showing through. Has a beautiful balance. 50+14+15+9.5+9.5=98 |

1995 Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling SpätleseMosel Saar Ruwer more |
8/27/2015 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 95 pointsDinner at Bolt. AP#17-96. Very pale gold. In between young and mature as secondary characteristics are just starting to peek out. Very minerally with the beginnings of burnished fruit. A great wine for an unheralded vintage. No wonder Herr Prum held some back for late release. 50+13+14+9+9=95 |

1994 Zind-Humbrecht Tokay Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal Sélection de Grains NoblesAlsace more |
8/20/2015 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 97 pointsAnniversary celebration at Fearrington. Light to medium gold in color. Showing more botrytis than Jebsal tonight with strong notes of horseradish, apricots and mirabelles. Great balance. With some time in the glass the Jebsal terroir starts to make itself known. These continue to age at a glacial pace and will be a 100 year wine if we save any for future generations ( I'm doing my part to make sure this doesn't happen! ). 50+14+15+9+9=97 |

1989 Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Marie BeurrierRed Rhone Blend more |
8/20/2015 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 100 pointsAnniversary celebration at Fearrington. Given 3 hours of decanting time and this seemed to be the sweet spot for this bottle. Very dark ruby in the glass. Very balanced between fruit and tannic structure. Notes of dark chocolate, kirsch, sous-bois and Rainier cherries. A very glyceral mouthfeel. Long finish. Incredible! 50+15+15+10+10=100 |

1959 Domaine Huet Vouvray Moelleux Clos du BourgChenin Blanc more |
8/20/2015 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 98 pointsAnniversary celebration at Fearrington. Another spectacular bottle of this gem. Light gold in color. Wax and lanolin on the nose and then lightly sweet on the palate. This wine has a beautiful balance to it in two ways - sweet/acid as well as youthful fruit/secondary characteristics. With time the sweetness came to the fore on the palate and the secondary characteristics on the finish. 50+14+15+9.5+9.5=98 |

1989 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Clos Windsbuhl Sélection de Grains NoblesAlsace more |
8/19/2015 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 95 pointsAnniversary celebration at Fearrington. Light to medium amber in color. Sweet on the entry followed by great Riesling acidity. Apricots. Peaches. Minerality. Very long on the finish. Still tasting relatively young. 50+13.5+13.5+9+9=95 |

1989 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave HermitageSyrah more |
8/19/2015 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 95 pointsAnniversary celebration at Fearrington. Given 1 hour of decanting time. Dark ruby in the glass. Classic Chave minerality and black olives but still tight despite the decanting time. With time in the glass, this opened up. A great wine that has at least another 10-15 years of great drinking for well stored bottles. 50+13.5+13.5+9+9=95 |

1990 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling SpätleseMosel Saar Ruwer more |
8/19/2015 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 96 pointsAnniversary celebration at Fearrington. AP#1-92. Medium gold and tasting very similar to a bottle last month. In between youth and maturity with some secondary characteristics starting to show as burnished fruit. Outstanding. 50+14+14+9=9=96 |

1994 Zind-Humbrecht Tokay Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal Sélection de Grains NoblesAlsace more |
2/1/2015 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 100 pointsDinner at Bolt. Similar to previous bottles but somehow elevated to the status of "perfect" on this occasion. Acidity perfectly matched to the sweetness. Even a little of the Jebsal-typical floating fruit sensation starting to pop out on this bottle to give it that little extra something. Amazing with banana bread pudding. 50+15+15+10+10=100 |

1959 Domaine Huet Vouvray Moelleux Clos du BourgChenin Blanc more |
2/1/2015 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 97 pointsDinner at Bolt. An ind=credible mix of ripe fruit, wool, lanolin and secondary characteristics. Minerally. Tropical notes of rambutan and pineapple. A subdued sweetness makes this a great dinner wine at this point in it's evolution. Truly a timeless and ageless wine. 50+14+15+9+9.5=97.5 |

1994 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling BrandAlsace Grand Cru more |
1/1/2015 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 94 pointsFull of Brand minerality. Rich on the nose and then dry on the palate, along the lines of the '94 Windsbuhl Riesling but not quite as rich on the nose so the contrast when hitting the palate isn't quite as pronounced and shocking. Great seafood wine. 50+13+13+9+9=94 |

1994 Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Rangen de Thann Clos St. Urbain Sélection de Grains NoblesAlsace Grand Cru Gewürztraminer more |
12/31/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 98 pointsDark amber in color. One of the most technically complex wines I've ever had as it mixes plenty of Rangen terroir with fruit, spice, sweetness and acidity. As balanced as an elephant successfully walking a tightrope. An amazing wine for the ages. 50+14+15+9.5+9.5=98 |

1996 Vilmart & Cie Champagne Cuvée CreationChampagne Blend more |
12/31/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 97 pointsVery similar to the bottle on 12/20/14 but less mature and evolved. Brilliant fruit and minerality with a terrific acid spine. 50+14+14+9.5+9.5=97 |

2001 Betts & Scholl HermitageSyrah more |
12/30/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 91 pointsSeems to be mature but not at all dried out. Should drink well for another 5-7 years. A very enjoyable wine but although this is made from Chave fruit it would never be confused with a Chave from a taste profile standpoint. 50+12+13+8+8=91 |

2001 Müller-Catoir Haardter Mandelring Scheurebe SpätlesePfalz more |
12/29/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 94 pointsAP#13-02. Many people say that Scheurebe should be drunk young but this has not been my experience with the Scheurebe from Muller Catoir from the HGS era. This spatlese is gorgeous, open and completely full of exuberant life as it enters it's teens. Very tropical with mango, pineapple, papaya & more. A great pleasure today and a great future as well. 50+13+13+9+9=94 |

1991 Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Rotenberg Sélection de Grains NoblesAlsace more |
12/20/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 90 pointsDinner with Steve, Barb & Mom for Dena's Birthday at Black House. Red Amber in color. Very Rotenberg with a heavy red clay influence. Light in texture - almost Prum-like. The finish lingers for quite a while. Very good but not on par with previous bottles. 50+12+12+8+8=90 |

2006 Sine Qua Non Grenache Raven SeriesCalifornia more |
12/20/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 94 pointsDinner with Steve, Barb & Mom for Dena's Birthday at Black House. #9. Dark purple as expected. No decanting time but it would have benefited from some. Rich but young and somewhat tight. Great purity of fruit. Plenty to enjoy now but a strong future ahead of it. 50+13+13+9+9=94 |

1996 Vilmart & Cie Champagne Cuvée CreationChampagne Blend more |
12/20/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 100 pointsDinner with Steve, Barb & Mom for Dena's Birthday at Black House. Medium gold in color with a very fine bead. This has always showed well but this was the best bottle yet. Completely open for business with a great depth to the apple & pear fruit. Very tart acidity on the endless finish. A stunning bottle of Champagne! 50+15+15+10+10=100 |

1996 Foreau Domaine du Clos Naudin Vouvray MoelleuxChenin Blanc more |
12/6/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 97 pointsDinner at Sushi One. Golden in color, this bottle drank like a masterpiece. A very floral nose dominated by rose buds and honeysuckle. An explosively fruity palate with a very long finish featuring butterscotch and lychees. More round than overtly sweet. Young with a long aging possibility. 50+14+14+9.5+9.5=97 |

2001 Müller-Catoir Haardter Mandelring Scheurebe SpätlesePfalz more |
11/27/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 93 pointsThanksgiving at Mom's house. AP#13-02. Grapefruit dominant upfront with tropical notes. Seems to be in adolescence but is very open at the same time. Lots of life left in this beauty. 50+13+13+8.5+8.5=93 |
| White - Off-dry |
1990 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling SpätleseMosel Saar Ruwer more |
11/27/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 94 pointsThanksgiving at Mom's house. AP#9-91. Still showing some spritz when poured in the glass! Very Prum with slight SO2 still showing. Great acidity with beautiful fruit to match. Classic Prum riding the tightrope of power & delicacy at the same time. Drinking like a baby. 50+13+13+9+9=94 |

11/23/2014 - JeffGMorris wrote: 89 pointsExcessive Truffle dinner at home with Alan & Lehna. Dark amber in color, this bottle was much less impressive than other recent bottles. Very nice to drink none the less even if it came across as a bit cloying. 50+12+12+7.5+7.5=89 |

11/23/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 96 pointsExcessive Truffle dinner at home with Alan & Lehna. On to the main course featuring the 3oz truffle we recently brought back from Alsace. Dark red in color. Young but open, rich & glyceral - the perfect wine for duck & truffles. Should have a long and great life. 50+14+14+9+9=96 |

1998 Zind-Humbrecht Tokay Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal Vendange TardiveAlsace more |
11/23/2014 - JeffGMorris Likes this wine: 92 pointsExcessive Truffle dinner at home with Alan & Lehna. Orange in color. Rich & fruity flavors of apricots, nectarines and mirabelles. Sweet but not overly so with good acidity. Surprisingly this showed none of the Jebsal typical inner mouth perfume. A great match with the extra aged Gouda we bought at Cezanne in Colmar. 50+13+13+8+8=92 |
