  May 24, 2015 - Beautiful aromatics of Creamy bread pudding, vanilla, and spice. Palate is incredible with silky richness and elegant notes of spice, vanilla pudding, and edges of sage. Texture is the star here. Elegant, supple, dense and deep. Stunning wine.

  December 24, 2013 - Amber gold. Dripping with golden oranges , honey and christmasy goodness on the nose but lemon fresh acidity with mineral roundness on the finish.

  October 14, 2013 - Hermitage Drinks (Hermitage, One Marina Boulevard): Pretty nice - this unusual blend of Alsace field grapes, including Riesling and Pinot Gris, was a real wine of character. I was especially taken by the nose with its sweet notes of apricots and peach and slightly oxidative brown apple aromas, along with spice and earth and mineral, and then sweeter scents of honeysuckle flowers and beeswax. Rather rich and thick smelling, but very nice. The palate took off from where the nose ended, with a rich, almost oily textured flow of apple and pineapple flavours and then sweeter stone fruited notes on the midpalate, all seasoned with bursts of chalky mineral and spice. Deiss really seemed to have pushed the ripeness on this one; there was a nice depth and power to it, which allowed it to go well with a richly flavoured dish of squid fried with salted egg-yolks. However, while the finish was a little more lemony and citrussy amidst long licks of mineral and spice, I thought the wine lacked a bit of acidity in the end - a touch of lift would have made it a lot more enjoyable. Altogether, it was a wine of chacracter and complexity, but just lacked some cut and precision. Pretty good though, and drinking rather nicely now.

  complex nose but so restrained - made me keep sniffing to get more and more nuance

  fascinating
