December 25, 2012 - Til kveite i Erfjord. Skivebom! Lukter av oksefett. 1 dag i åpen flaske: Søtt anslag smak av pors og stjernefrukt, svakt oksidert :-/
April 29, 2011 - Just delicious wine as always.
January 30, 2011 - Small Regions of France (Farpointe Cellar): Honey and cream infused on the nose, with hints of peach, flowers, and stone in the background. Slightly sweet on the palate, the minerals really shine, and mixes nicely with the peach, honey, and floral aromas.
January 30, 2011 - Sundays at One - Volume 1 - Small Regions of France: WIML91
Tasted non blind. Opened and served immediately.
Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of apricot, sea foam, yellow pears and a bit of brown spice. Flavors of yellow pears, apricots and a dash of peach. Bright acidity, medium body. Drink or hold. No rush. Should last 10-15 years without batting an eyelash.
December 25, 2010 - Relatively forward at 1st but once given some air, this is a terrici bottle. There's a striking minerality, flintiness both on the nose and palate. Plenty of mango, honey and apricot with spices. Full bod with definitely some RS but never heavy even if the acidity is not super high. This is really good.
October 11, 2010 - This is one of the top 3 most interesting wines I've ever had. Yummy too Thanks to Cory at the saignee blog for putting me on this.
May 15, 2010 - Loire Sampler (Beltramo's, Menlo Park): Fuller yellow. Touch of honey; more typical Chenin fruit comes up later. Full bodied, dry, yellow fruits. Bitter finish. Not that lively or interesting-where is the acidity?
February 26, 2010 - Un peu de gaz carbonique qui disparait avec l’aération. Un équilibre sucre-acidité irréprochable, le vin le plus accompli de la soirée selon moi avec le Clos du Papillon. Très beau vin, j’ai beaucoup aimé.
December 23, 2009 - A study in honey...honeysuckle, honeycomb and Ligurian honey (much more posh than ya everyday honey). Just as you feel like there may just be too much of this bi-product of the bee, in steps a slightly decaying granny smith apple screaming ‘any of you f***ing bees move and I execute every mother***ing last one of ya, before cutting a malic acid swathe straight through all of the sweetness. There’s a gang of bad arsed minerals also imposing their strength on the wine and there’s plenty of pulp to the texture. The whole package is forceful yet displays elements of beauty.
April 23, 2009 - Louis/Dressner Selections Tasting (Terroir Natural Wine Merchant and Bar, San Francisco, California): Tart lime, almond, Chenin Blan nose; lime, cream, almond, apple and mineral palate; medium-plus finish 90+ pts.
