Strong mineral, salty and peppery aromas. Totally closed now. The flavor is fantastic. Very layered and complex. Another dimension of garnacha Blanca! Huge potential! Amazing wine! — 8 years ago

Domaine Marcel Deiss

Alsace Gewürztraminer 2007

A beautiful and true to typicity and grape original.

Floral, spicy, lychee like exotic fruit adds some extra dimension.

Sick value at my local wine spot!

Beauregard Vineyards

Beauregard Ranch Ben Lomond Mounntain Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Smells a little like cotton candy and exhibits notes of cedar, clove, prune, cherry, red rose, eucalyptus with perceivable mint-traits. In another dimension this may be a cousin of Heitz's Martha's Vineyard. Awesome to have with bbq'd steak, garlic bread and knowing this is the only winery for this AVA ( just 20 miles south of where I got to imbibe this 400 case production of local goodness. ) — 9 years ago

Peter Michael Winery

Au Paradis Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Well blended, strong cherry, tannin is subtle and creeps up on you halfway through. A very complex and smooth wine. THE 2015 WINE SPECTATOR
"WINE OF THE YEAR"
2012 Peter Michael "Au Paradis" Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
96 points Wine Spectator
Deliciously pure and supple, with explosive dark berry and red berry flavors and a silky, polished texture. The tannins become more evident midway through, with a gravelly crushed rock profile that adds a dimension of dust and mineral.

I Custodi

Ætneus Etna Rosso Nerello Blend 2008

The dimensions of this wine are huge, and I don't mean alcohol, acidity, or tannin, though it has fair bit of all three. There's a depth or a third dimension that only wines from special places have. The fruit is bright and the color pale, but the wine is dark in character. It's the character that Etna has - that rocky, ashy, old balsamic, dusky mountain herb, intense etnosity. — 10 years ago

Fanti

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

This Fanti is welcome, denser, more opaque in the glass, fuller bodied that any of the others. I had one class and then it sat for 18 hours and didn't fade a notch and the time added an extra dimension.

It has the characteristic herb nose of 2010, it's like standing in a garden, a fresh wind is carrying herbs and strawberry, growing nearby are cherries.

The fuller palate also has cherries and red fruit, perfect tannin led integration, great balance, superb mouth feel.

Damn these 2010's are good!

Domaine Valette

Vieilles Vignes Mâcon-Chaintré Chardonnay 2011

Really good. Just has this dimension you want to bite into. Similar to chablis in some ways. Tight in the best way. Need way more than a glass of this. A hint of pear but this is not about the fruit. Awesome. — 11 years ago

Symphony Hill Wines

Barrell Fermented Gewürztraminer 2015

Some woody notes amongst an ocean of lychee. I guess the oak gives another dimension but I think I might prefer stainless steel and let this beautiful Gewürztraminer fruit speak on its own. Fruit from Toppers Mountain at Tingha in New England - must be the best in Australia IMO. On the palate Turkish Delight of profound intensity with spice. Finishes Dry. Brilliant! Tasted 69 weeks later on 13th October 2018 with consistent notes. Cannot see how cellaring will improve this in any way. Great drinking now - without the barrel ferment. Tasted again on 20th May with 2 of my siblings Gillian and Mike with their spouses. Consistent notes. Still prefer without the oak. Tasted the final one on 8th December 2019 with consistent notes. Would be easy to pick blind with all that lychee and Turkish Delight. Tasted again 157 weeks later on 21st June 2020 with consistent notes. Textbook Gewurztraminer. A great white for winter - textural and mouth filling. — 8 years ago

Château Doisy-Védrines

Sauternes Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2011

Superb, classic in all the ways it should be...perfectly gold color, a nose telling at first botrytis but then it gives way to more dimension with layers or orange marmalade, honey, and creme brulee. The palate reflects this and adds a touch of almond extract and a laser beam of core acidity. #sauternes — 9 years ago

The Chenin Blanc adds another dimension to the predominantly Chardonnay based wine. Just right acidity leaves room for flavors to be enjoyed. Enjoyed in Chardonnay glasses, not flutes. Terrific! — 10 years ago

Lucien Le Moine

Clos de Bèze Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2003

2003 was a year of extremes in Burgundy, with spring frosts and crippling heatwaves later in the summer, so how did the Lucien le Moine Chambertin-Clos de Bèze fare? Extremely well. Penetrating aromas of cherry and black raspberry, dried leaves, forest floor, woodspice, and anise lead into firm structure and a brooding, sensual intensity. Mineral notes, exotic spice, and black tea add dimension. My only criticism is that the finish is slightly short, and it is a touch more advanced than expected. — 10 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2009

Here is what Wine Spectator says about this wine. One of the more endowed 2009s, this is packed with dark smoldering cocoa, mesquite, tobacco and roasted fig notes, all inlaid with pure cassis and plum preserves fruit flavors. Long and authoritative on the finish, with singed vanilla bean and tar notes adding length and dimension. Not sure I could have come up with all of these descriptors but a beautiful wine in my opinion. — 9 years ago

Love the "smoldering cocoa" and "singed vanilla" and need to add those to my wine vocabulary.

Matthiasson

California Rosé Blend 2014

The 2014 Mattaison Napa Valley Rosé is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Counoise from the Windmill Vineyard. I love this wine because what it communicates is restraint and tensile minerality as one would find in a good Provence rosé. Delicate floral aromas, slightly underripe white peaches, and white hand soap lend dimension to a lithe frame that has a subtle and demure touch of creaminess in the background. White plum skins and pie cherries crescendo before slowly unwinding. 11.2% ABV | Sample — 10 years ago
