'12. Savoring these pre-acquisition Vietti's while I can. Brilliant aromatics, palpable, pleasing tannins, spice, violets and a thrilling partner to pork loin with cherry vinaigrette and bitter field greens. — 8 years ago

Structured intensity, appealingly grippy tannins, waves of saturated flavor on the midpalate and plenty of alluring smokiness. Reduction evident on Day 1, almost unbalanced by it on Day 2. — 8 years ago

'02 Spätlese a basket of toast and cream, depth and length, weightlessness and intensity. RS ideally matched to what must be considerable TA. Rearranged my Riesling brain. — 8 years ago

From AmByth's debut vintage. Not so much singing as supplying sublime and original sonnets tonight. Gorgeous aromatic delicacy and subtlety. Haunting suggestions of dried sour cherry, black tea and rose petal. Very hard to believe this is Paso GSM! A living, breathing wine captured at an exquisite moment in its development. — 8 years ago

2013 transformative and revelatory: chiseled, chalky; bright fruit, laser acidity, herbaceous and floral with an undeniable mineral core, lifted, high-toned glory singing motets in a sublime minor key — 8 years ago
