Very rich, peachy nose. Oily palate, with some bittersweet almond notes.

Very big and fruity, with a nice touch of oak, but all in all a bit out of proportion in comparison to the palate. Quite delicious nonetheless.

Green and linear, classic Doennhoff nose, though there was a whiff of sulphur. Balanced as Doennhoff always is. Lots of green and yellow fruit on the palate; laser-like precision and long finish.

Very funky and musty on the nose, which is pretty typical for old Pruem. Some sulphur as well. Palate is quite sweet but balanced. Some animal notes on the palate, but this is quite alluring.

Weedy, peppery, and spicy on the nose. The palate is quite green and chewy, with not much else showing up. Disappointing.

Purple drank. Like grape juice and oak chips in a Blendtec ad (which by the way, unlike an iPhone, will not blend). High-toned nose, with some alcohol showing up. Heavy-handed winemaking showing lots of unintegrated oak. Yuck.

This smelled and tasted more like sour strawberry juice than wine. Certainly, the alcohol did not come off very hard (and there's definitely credit for that), but I prefer my wine to taste a bit more... like wine.

A surprising tinge of green on the nose. Extremely intense, as if you boiled down a 100-year-old madeira (I suppose, in a very strange way, that is what this is). The palate is extremely rich with lots of caramel and rancio notes. Awesome.

Notes of olives and smoked meat on the nose (as it should be). Classic Northern Rhone. The palate has a lot of funky animal character, and despite the lack of fruit, this comes off as quite juicy.

Sharpie on the nose. The attack comes off as quite sweet, but the midpalate falters pretty quickly. Tannins are quite light and this is definitely in a stage of decline.

Completely soaked corked, but this was a good one. Still holding really strong with lots of fruit notes and well-integrated oak. Opulent and slutty, and pretty damn good. Medium-length finish with fading tannins. This is in an excellent spot right now.
