1/5/2021 - partylikeakennedy wrote: 87 pointsSadly, after the last time when I loved this wine so much, I held onto my second bottle like a cartoon miser. I guess that's why BV's Library Club released this back when they did -- because it was at its peak. Now it's over the hill and although still not awful, not really remarkable either. Lesson learned....when a library wine is released from its source, they're trying to tell you something. |

11/8/2020 - partylikeakennedy Likes this wine: 95 pointsMy last bottle of the '88, and it's still drinking like a much younger wine. Perfect acidity, lots of complexity, and a finish that lasts for days. Very little petrol/garage on the nose -- more like cedar and honeydew and mango to me. Blueberries and bright acidity with more mango, stone-fruit, and honeysuckle on the palate. The acid plays well with the sweetness, and makes this more refreshing than you'd expect from an Auslese. |

12/24/2018 - partylikeakennedy wrote: 92 pointsThese old-ass Selvapianas are always so much fun. This is really complex and surprisingly light. Nose has foresty mulch, cherry cola, and a hint of menthol. Palate is bright with slight acidity. Lots of cranberry and dank; cedar, vanilla, strawberry, lavender, bergamot. Clean but lingering finish. |
