  The smell was off-putting, like funky cheese. Nobody in my wine tasting group enjoyed it. First Schramsberg fail for me.

  Very weird. This was “funky” on top also, but didn’t clear. Yeasty, earthy with lemon Think it’s a bad bottle, which is a first for us with Schramsberg.

  A real funk when first opening, but that blew off within a few minutes as it warmed up a bit. Mushroom and nuttiness prevailed on the nose. More mushrooms and nuts on the palate, but also a fair amount of baked apples, with some peach, orange/citrus pastry cream and typical leesy notes. A creamy texture was quite nice, but the overall balance just felt off with this bottle. 8 g/L of RS makes me wonder if this is a case where less is more in terms of dosage. I paired it with pan seared duck breast and grilled broccoli rabe, and it held up well in that department. While I generally love the LD bottlings from Schramsberg, this one left me wanting.

  Received this as part of a Riddler's Circle Wine Club shipment a few months back. This wine was aged for over 10 years on the lees in the Diamond Mountain caves on property. The blend is 90% Pinot Noir & 10% Chardonnay and was disgorged in late November 2021.
  
  It pours out a nice dark gold color in the glass. Served in a Glasvin universal stem to let it open up a little in the glass. On the nose, this wine gives off scents of yeast, honey, quince, yellow peach, and red fruits. On the palate, I get flavors of yellow and red fruits, butterscotch, and a touch of bread. Overall, a very lovely wine from a personal favorite!
