10/29/2014 - TomOfCT Likes this wine: 98 pointsWe enjoyed this wine over a two hour period. The wine demonstrated a broad mix of fruits which evolved over the time. Soft and subtle, requiring focus to really study what was going on. Medium body with a remarkably long finish (considering how subtle it was). |

5/17/2014 - mwanasheria Likes this wine: 100 points1989 in the Rheingau (Eltville, Rheingau, Germany): A spectacular bottle of 1989. Nose of herbs, tar, malt. Creamy palate, densely textured, smoke, lots of fruit left. Unbelievably fine and elegant. |

5/1/2014 - dream Likes this wine: 98 pointsAlmost black in color. Monumental in the glass. The nose is complex with truffles, red berries, smoke and bay leaves. On the palate this is granite-like and years from its peak but with some coaxing shows all of the potential of this powerful wine. Deep flavors of black cherries, exotic spices and firm, smoky minerals flow over the tongue in this gorgeously delineated and layered wine. Big and burly but also fine and elegant at the same time, this feels like a coiled animal of immense power and grace holding back its secrets for another day. This will need many years but there is no doubting that it will take its place among the greatest vintages of this wine. 98+ |
