2017 / drank it as a tribute to the iconic Lorenzo Accomasso who passed away 3 weeks ago at the age of 91, after have worked on 70 vintages! Amazing. Although 2017 was not a classic vintage and you have to like a classic farmer winegrower style, but if you do this is a very very enjoyable wine, still a baby — 4 days ago

Simply delicious Burg! Light colored. Intriguing and attractive nose of forest floor red berries and an interesting mysterious note of woodsy perfume of some kind carrying through to a liveliness and dancing texture. More pure pleasure than the complexity and depth folks chase after. Excellent finish to cap it off. Hard to find. Hopefully another bottle left. Yum. What a GL 29 buy back then! A traditionally made wine, 50 barrels with no sulfur. Gardener than farmer as DR says! — 4 years ago
