8/19/2017 - w9oh Likes this wine: 92 pointsTook a while to open up and this bottle's provenance was known to have not been ideal. Complex, no faults, still fresh, even youthful. I suspect this bottle would have revealed a masterpiece had it been stored better. |

7/19/2017 - w9oh Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery solid wine - lighter color, full bodied but nuanced, complex - textbook Nebbiolo. Leans towards old style. Excellent. |

2010 Didier Dagueneau SilexPouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc more |
6/9/2015 - w9oh wrote: 84 pointsThere was a little reductive funk on this right at first, but it blew off. The wine is terrific Sauvignon Blanc but proves the point that SB is a third rate grape variety. Can't help but wonder what Chenin or Chardonnay might do in the same area. Way too expensive for what it is (or rather, is not). 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

12/19/2014 - w9oh Likes this wine: NRI import this wine to America - by definition a Rioja wine labeled Reserva could not legally also be called 'Cosecha'. |

5/14/2014 - w9oh wrote: flawedCORKED - bummer. This 1/2 bottle was purchased at the winery. I had a magnum (that came through normal distribution channels) of the same wine that was corked a month ago and a 750ml bottle that was corked a year ago. I know these wines and the difference between funk and TCA... this was TCA... all three times. Anyone else have cork taint issues with the 2001 Reserva? 1 person found this helpful, do you?

4/21/2014 - w9oh Likes this wine: 99 pointsLoved this wine... long, personal connection to it, imported 10 cases years ago (via Terry Theise), this was the last bottle. It was always the finest example of elegance and delicacy in dessert wine and the final bottle did not disappoint. Very special. |

4/19/2014 - w9oh Likes this wine: 91 pointsExcellent - bought this wine on deep discount... it's perfect, exactly what it should be; a Sauterne Slayer - Better than most any Sauterne. Apricot, honey, fig, reduced melon, botrytis, smoke, spice/clover/jasmin.... great balance and structure...not cloying or obtrusively sweet. |

4/19/2014 - w9oh Likes this wine: 89 pointswas not able to find any reference to this producer, anywhere but the wine was spot on - good Sercial, a little weak. In the context of great Madeira, it was not very special - but it was sound and fun to taste. |
