Just delicious. Fruity, but not a fruit bomb. Warning: throws a bit of sediment. Plum, cherry, and soft tannins leading to a nice finish.

Nice, but I'm waiting a few years before drinking it again.

No detailed notes, but I really enjoyed.

My experience with this wine did not match the overall favorable notes. Kind of thin, a little sulphury. I didn't pick up TCA, but maybe this bottle is off?

11/9/2014 - sadofsky Does not like this wine:

Not finding much going on here. Also needed some time open for something unpleasant to blow off.

In case I forget, I didn't like this. Basically too fruit-bombe.

This was nice, and I think it is time to drink. Yellow. Nutty with some tropical fruit.

Excellent value. A lot of complexity for the price and good balance.

This was excellent. Good acid, some fruit but not too much. Dusky.

This was really dead, and a bad thing to have bought from Garagiste!

Well structured, cherry notes and very well balanced. Really enjoyable for such a price!

This is drinking really well. Cherry and gentle tannins.

4/5/2014 - sadofsky wrote:

Really great. Lots of cherry/plum without being overwhelming on the fruit. Kind or bricky color.

Between the fruit, petrol and acid, this has become a perfect version of what it is.

Last bottle, and very good.

Loved this.

10/23/2013 - sadofsky wrote:

Jammier than I like. I think I will also wait a few years on the other bottles hoping that the fruit will recede a bit.

6/21/2013 - sadofsky wrote:

Fruity, but not so over the top as to drown out the acid. Good QPR.

6/20/2013 - sadofsky wrote:

Nose: a little sulphur together with something vegetal and a trace of fruit.
Palate: all that, plus a good level of acidity and some cherry/fennel flavors. I'm not overwhelmed.

6/16/2013 - sadofsky Likes this wine:

Really brisk acidity. Maybe a bit oxidized?

This was no longer wine.

3/29/2013 - sadofsky wrote:

- Yellow gold color with medium forming legs. It's balanced with a medium body. Oily texture with a long finish - I really liked this. Very sweet - shared among 8 with cheesecake. But complex, reasonably acidic and layered and changing in the mouth with a nice finish.

Excellent bottle of CdP!

Delicious. Sweet but nice acidity and every mouthful a complex of flavors.

1/13/2013 - sadofsky Likes this wine:

A nice bottle of wine and ready to be drunk. Herbs and flowers and cherries all round.

I drank the same wine from 2007 right before and thought that wine could use a bit more age.

1/13/2013 - sadofsky Likes this wine:

I thought this wine was quite good, but could use some more cellar time. It seemed a bit spiky. I drank the same wine from 2010 right afterwards, and that was mellower and less challenging (and also quite enjoyable).

1/13/2013 - sadofsky Likes this wine:

No major change from previous note. Drank with fruit which was fine, though cheese would still have been better. I note that this has a sort of semi-oxidized taste common in both sweet and dry savenierres in my experience.

Almonds, floral notes, nice balance. Quite enjoyable.

This was really quite enjoyable. Nice fruit/acid balance, and some really lovely fennel notes.

I didn't like this much, it seemed muted, possibly corked to me, but my wife (who is more sensitive to TCA) disagreed on that.

This was good, but it was a more floral and ripe style than I'm accustomed to. More California-like than Oregon-like, though one of our fellow diners identified it as New Zealand from a taste (I wouldn't have been able to do that).

Yeasty, nutty, clean and very enjoyable.

This was a wine that really drew me in. Tannins, fennel, and berry flavors just layered in one's mouth.

I found this _very_ dry and minerally. Very little fruit and perhaps a touch oxidized.

Fruit, acidity and a bit of petrol. Yumm.

This was sensational. Much more depth than I normally expect from a Kabinett.

6/3/2012 - sadofsky wrote:

- Purple color and aromas of blackberry and has flavours of black pepper - Pop and pour. Tasted a little TCA on the first sips, but that seemed to blow off after 10 minutes. So maybe it wasn't TCA.

4/13/2012 - sadofsky wrote:

- Yellow color - I am enjoying these, but not as much as the 2007s. The 2008s tend toward the more floral and the 2007s were more mineral.

This is my last bottle of this, and I really feel like it has finally come into its own. Bright cherry fading into some madeira-like flavors.

12/24/2011 - sadofsky wrote:

This is an excellent bottle of wine. Light, good acid, cherry. A bit of sediment, though in chunks not powder, so easy to avoid even if you don't decant.

12/18/2011 - sadofsky wrote:

Really delicious. Beautiful golden color, honey and apricot, cinnamon, no oxidization.
