5/14/2024 - beatles wrote: 96 pointsLast bottle from PB's original stash of 24; I've been lucky to taste five of them, and this fat lady is really singing, quite majesticly. Rich, if not oppulent, smooth, curve, sexy, honey-notes, good minerality and citrus - just goes on and on. Very sexy - and memorable. |

5/21/2024 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRQuite a flinty mineral nose, with some pepper and orchard fruits too. Direct in the palate, good fruit intensity but also restrained. Saline mineral notes cut the finish. Excellent balance and very refreshing. Sealed with a screwcap. |

5/21/2024 - englishman's claret wrote: 95 pointsMy goodness - a behemoth for the ages, still requiring hours to come around but tantalizing with dense, firm cassis and boysenberry, squid ink, pencil shavings, cedar, only with a hint of Brett. Saline, graphite, black fruit palate. A young rendition of the 28. |

5/21/2024 - beatles wrote: 92 points8 years in is a good time to pick GG, I think; this did not fail me. A layered wine, sweet, ripe fruit behind, good acodoty, minerality, quite intense and rich for the genre - very much a Pfalz wine. Drinking a point. |

5/21/2024 - englishman's claret wrote: NRAt the outset, this (low-ish fill) bottle shows a pretty, red-fruited, spicy profile, mulchy in the mouth but fattening up and moving toward the darker end of the spectrum before turning overtly oxidized. |

5/21/2024 - Explorateur Likes this wine: 92 pointsI had not opened a Grain & Granit in a few years and had a few 2018s remaining in the cellar. Somewhere in the back of my mind was a slight concern it would run out of steam after 6 years… wow was I pleasantly found wrong: this was fresh as can be, and yet with seemingly more depth than I remembered. Sour fresh pleasant rainier cherries on the nose and attack, followed by more rounded flavors of strawberries, raspberries, sage, fresh ground/earth, while keeping the fresh acidity. |

2021 Hayfork Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling RanchSt. Helena more |
5/21/2024 - davidandrose Likes this wine: 92 pointsRemainder of a bottle opened yesterday morning at the tasting room, not gassed-off. Smoke, black fruit and green tea on the nose, with caramel beneath. This has understandably lost its depth and weight from yesterday but is a solid wine that we all really enjoyed. Great for near-to-mid term enjoyment once released, i wont hesitate to open one of these w an hour or three of air. |

2019 Domaine de Brunely Cairanne PosterletteRed Rhone Blend more |
5/21/2024 - La Cave d'Argent wrote: 85 pointsVinturi-decanted and serially tasted over the ensuing three hours, this deep ruby blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 15% Carignan and 5% Cinsault offers aromas and flavors of ripe plums, black raspberries, garrigue, mulling spices, white pepper and tobacco. Medium-bodied, fresh, unoaked and with well-integrated alcohol (listed as 13.5%), it delivers its flavor payload in a milieu of medium-weight, grippy tannins. Thinning in the middle and a bit clipped on the finish, this is a "serviceable" Southern Rhône that sells at an attractive price, but it is clearly lacking the charm of higher-end offerings from the AOC. Give it at least an hour of air at this stage in its evolution. Drink now-2029. |

5/21/2024 - Adam Pritzker Likes this wine: 92 pointsQPR home run.Dark Ruby to light purple color. Explosive aromatics of cassis, sweet dark fruits. Good concentration and complexity. Sweet dark fruits smoke minerals earth. Long finish. Solid fruit holds up against the tannins. Still needs to age but is approachable and enjoyable now especially with a couple of hours of breathing. Likely best from 2026 to 2035 |

5/21/2024 - jeffreylubowski Likes this wine: 92 points90% viura, 10% malvasia. Interesting interplay between sweet and sour here. Sweet like peach and melon and beeswax. Sour from the rich and lactic feel. Doesn't feel 13 years old but these wines never drink their age. Really unique and it's easy to see why these wines have been gaining in popularity. Would buy several more. |

5/20/2024 - Adam Pritzker Likes this wine: 91 pointsGorgeous floral notes and perfume with sweet fresh fruits of red apples and melon on the bouquet and flavors. Hints of citrus also in the flavor. Very light Airy and delicate but yet with good concentration and very nice complexity. No butter or Oak at all. Absolutely delicious. Insane qpr. It must try. Drinks beautifully now and should last a couple of years. Highly recommended |
