April 6, 2024 - Lots of pickles on the nose, like pickled okra with sweet relish, cranberry sauce, sweet plums, all sorts of roasted meats. The palate is jammy and ripe with moderate acidity and flavors of black cherry jam, mulled strawberries. Nice grip from the tannins, and I get a lot of pepper, mesquite, grilled meats, barbecue sauce, and coffee grounds. Holding well and totally delicious. Pretty cool to taste this a whole decade since the last bottle.

June 24, 2023 - Not sure the reason but the wine was awful. Undrinkable and disposed of. Cork was OK. Sad to pay that much for nothing.

April 3, 2022 - Masterclass with Joe Czerwinski: Hommage to Philippe Cambie (The Dolder Grand, Zurich): Glass: Stölzle Universal
Wine served chilled, at starting of the tasting probably 10-12 deg Celsius.
Clear, medium garnet color.
Beautiful developed nose, deep and dense, some tar, smoke, fine fruit. On the palate very salty and smoky, good acidity that gives the wine a nice freshness. Zests, cloves and black olive. Silky texture. Deep and dense, really complex. Wonderful length. Full peak.1 person found this helpful Comment -
