5/15/2022 - moods wrote: 94 pointsDelicious! Plenty of citrus and stone fruits. Toasty aromas. Well balanced through the palate. Rich, but the acidity cuts right through to give it a nice feel. Long. This is an awesome wine, drinking beautifully 10 years on. |

9/25/2021 - moods wrote: 91 pointsDrinking beautifully right now. Lots of secondary notes and flavors, with softened tannins and fresh acidity. Enough fruit and structure to see this through another 5-10 years I would think. |

2007 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Clos WindsbuhlAlsace more |
9/12/2021 - moods wrote: 91 pointsAromas of gasoline, lanolin, beeswax, and a faint touch of candied citrus peel infused honey. Palate is still fairly dense. Finishes bone dry, but the initial attack is slightly sweet. I would think it maybe has another couple of years ahead of it. |

8/7/2021 - moods wrote: 91 pointsNotes of candied orange peel, dried apricots, caramel, and ginger spice. Rich palate. Sweetness is kept in check by an underlying fresh acidity level. More citrus on the palate, with more of that ginger spice. |

8/7/2021 - moods wrote: 93 pointsOpened too young. Dense dark fruit, but you have to give it a major swirl to really get it to shine. Opened up after around 6 hours, and even better on the second day. Feels like it has everything it needs to be a great wine in a few years. 6 people found this helpful, do you?

8/7/2021 - moods wrote: 93 pointsRipe raspberry fruit, some earth and peppery spice, with meaty mushroom notes. Densely rich palate, but with a lifted acidity that makes it taste supple. Long finish. Don't really notice the alcohol. Lovely wine. |

2006 Domaine Giraud Châteauneuf-du-Pape TraditionRed Rhone Blend more |
8/7/2021 - moods wrote: 88 pointsSort of an experiment to keep some bottles back to see how well this ages. Overall, its doing pretty well. Interestingly it changed quite a bit within 4-5 hours of opening. Seemed much fresher, riper, with some big black fruit on opening. But then became funky, almost oxidized in aroma some 4 or 5 hours later. Still held up well, but would suggest pop and pour. |
