Bromento Mori

Rich as a draught of poppies. Slithers across the palate with dope secondary & tertiary notes the way the Grinch be slithering across your floor to steal your Crimbo. This here is wrought, right and got the stink, stank, and the stink.

TL;DR this here a Beethoven wine. Got power, guts, the deep sadness and all the joy. Krug go on eat ya heart out, but when I need that big ol deep bottle, this the King. — 7 years ago

Music. Everything but Malbec. Pedigree such as David Abreu, Howell Mountain, Kongsgaard, Erickson, Beethoven Opus 111. Yeah... It's in the wine. The nose and finish are balanced, long, and deep. If you happen upon a bottle, let it settle thoroughly, unfiltered and extracted, but once "clean" it is gorgeous. — 9 years ago

Beethoven conducted his 9th Symphony here. Or at least I was told! Smoky Pinot from Austria @rxwinelab — 10 years ago

Arietta is an oenological
tribute to Beethoven created by the musical minds of John Kongsgaard and Fritz Hatton and the latter has taken over the project, expanding it to include this blend of several white varietals that is crisp, citrus-driven and very food-friendly! — 10 years ago

Saturday night at Tanglewood with the BSO playing Britten, Adès & Beethoven, and Emanuel Ax on piano.

Fruit is decent, not much of a green note from the Merlot, certainly get the Cab. Franc on the nose. Ripe raspberry and smokey, not-too-sweet, stewed red fruit, evolving on the glass finally after two hours. — 8 years ago

Worth every penny and more. Grandeur, magnificent, spectacular, like the 5th concerto for piano by Beethoven. — 9 years ago

It reminds of me the 23rd piano sonata by Beethoven, the 'appassionate'. It's hard, unique, warm, decisive, like a peaceful lava stream going through your tongue to your heart. — 9 years ago

A very peculiar white. A sprinboard of minerals brings you into Austrian woods in spring time, after rain has passed. Drink it while listening to Beethoven Sixth. — 8 years ago

WOTN! Yes., you guessed it....another bottle provided by my friend David Lentine! If the Sinegal bottle that we opened is a Rockstar this bottle was Beethoven!! It's elegance and finesse was immediately noticed. Kirk's head snapped back to look at me after his 1st sip and said "the finish on this is long & complex. It has a lot going on!! WOTN".
There's a reason why this is their flagship wine & why Parker rated it 💯! I'm a believer. This was everyone's 1st Lail but it most certainly won't be our last. Stunning., simply stunning. Everything it did., it did Perfectly. Power with finesse, character with elegance, complexity with purity. It was a true experience tasting this wine. We all left this in our glass for as long as we could. Each sip was relished until the long finish was a distant memory and then we took another. I'm going to have to dig deep in my cellar to find a proper "Thank you" swap for that insane bottle of wine!!!!
This truly deserves the title "Awesomeness in a Glass"!!
😍💯🍷🍷💯😍 I'll even throw some applause in there......yes it was that good!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 — 8 years ago

It's such a privilege to open the fridge late in the evening and discover this marvelous wine waiting for me! 2004 is one I our favorite, classic #Mosel #Riesling vintages of the past 20 years and this #Auslese #6 was truly phenomenal--bright, ripe acidity, zesty, flinty minerality together with a rainbow of exotic fruit components--all in all a very cerebral wine and the prefect accompaniment to Beethoven string quartets! — 10 years ago
