Tasted two bottles- slight variance but equally stunning- complex. Co-fermented Pinot Noir and Chardonnay- all GC, all 2004. Phenolic, brass-copper, extremely taut, linear and complex. Beautiful. — 8 years ago

Vibrant, intriguing, eloquent nectar made of Heida (Savagnin Blanc), idiosyncratic to Valais.

Dense shimmering brass color, golden glitters.
Wet hay, mint, soaked apples, quince, sage, limestone, pinecone. Caramelized peach.
Fat-bodied, zesty palate. Lively acidity supported by tough mineral kick and kumquat peels, unripe cantaloupe, bruised quince, laurel, sage flavors.
Interminable finish...
Unique winexperience!
--------------
Pairings... I tried several ones. 
First was 'C_Bro favorite': cute little bunny, trapped, skinned, disemboweled and baked in sourcream with allspice, garlic, onion, juniper, carrots and thyme.
Than - moderatetly spicy grilled reindeer sausages.
And finally mature + blue mold cheese plate.
All three played well. — 9 years ago

Had it in January 2009.
Shiny gold. Delicious and complex. Cooked apples, brass, turmeric, white truffle, oregano, squids, petrol, candied pineapple, graphite, gunpowder. Obviously not all at once, but during a little while. All decorated by a ripe minerality (??) and a super long finish. Good freshness. I went back to buy all they had at the shop.

Probably at its delectable best; this #margaretriver #chardonnay from #cullen ; colour with bits of brass says so; and palate has nice brulee-roast nuts; more aged fruit aromas than first stage types; acid taut keeping it medium bodied and no more; a good drink with coral trout; #kevinjohn #biodynamic #13.5% #AUD105 — 9 years ago

More interesting than good, but not bad. Color is brilliant and intense like polished brass. Nose has crushed honey comb and citrus zest/blossoms, with some raw almond undertones. Flavor is far more acidic than sweet but still nicely balanced. Great pair with fresh fruits but nothing that's too sweet on its own. — 12 years ago

More celebrating. My Wifey’s mum’s 70th (and brother-in-law accessory.) She’s still rocking it. Super life event with family.
The wine is for the masses. 50 peeps plus. Drinking well. Barnyard nose. Smooth and balanced on the palette. Needs more time, but presented well tonight.

Third out of 3 bottles we bought during honeymoon trip 4 years ago. Being captured by heavy rain at Castel Gandolfo (residence of Pope), we nestled at lovely cellar tasting Poggio Le Volpi wines. Our photographer called us urgently to depict with double rainbow, whilst all locals were crying and shouting "auguri" )))

Frascati Superiore (Malvasia di Candia / Malvasia del Lazio / Trebbiano 50/40/10), harvested late, fermented in 40-hl oak vats for 40 days, kept on lees 3 months.

Dense brass to orange color, yellow gold glitters.
Surprisingly fresh nose of mint, sea salt, medlar, wet limestone, kumquat, roasted almond, touch of withered grass.
Off-dry (despite raising) palate, medium in body with quite lively acidity. Flavors of buckthorn, yellow plum, tangerine, soaked apple, apricot. Herbs on background.
Buckthorn, citrus peels and ginger apricot on slowly vanishing finish.
Was nice pair to flounder fillet.
8.5* actual, 9.0* considering other 2 bottles tasted "young". — 9 years ago

Fantastic wine. A real concert. Starts really soft and quiet until the strings are added, the drums come in and the grand finally with all the brass. 2 minute finish. Earthy, mineral, deep dark fruit with soft but penetrating tannins. — 9 years ago

Combined with orange juice, this is the nectar of the gods (aka the Brass Monkey). Malty & Citrusy is the best way to describe it. I was lucky enough to be in an establishment where I was able to keep the beverage chilled in a bucket. This produced optimal results. — 10 years ago

Another excellent wine! The Factor here is instead of co-fermented Shiraz/Vionier, this one is a 100% Shiraz. (Like my pun there?)

Anyway, down to brass tax. Pure expression of Shiraz from Barossa - you will be corrected by an Australian citizen if you say it "Bah-roe-ssah".. it is pronounced "Buh-raw-suh". Surprisingly, this wine was more floral in its aromatics than the two co-fermented wines, which I find Viognier brings to the mix. With their wines, smoke is definitely the theme, and with this one also comes aromas of jasmine tea, rosewater, decaying violets, a light tar component, dusty soil, espresso roast, bing cherry, black plum skin, and eucalyptus. The wine is dark, but even looks less rich than the RunRig and Descendant, with more medium plus tannins, and lean structure - over ripe strawberry, tobacco, charred beef, Smokey minerals, leather, black currant, and a textured finish. Beautiful layers to this wine, and less of the fruit forward nuances that a lot of Shiraz tends to have. Like a good Cornas. This wine really is a great reflection of the terrior of Barossa Valley, where there are the oldest Shiraz vines in the world, AND the oldest soils known on planet earth due to the fact that Australia has never seen an ice age, phylloxera, or any vine diseases. — 7 years ago

A dry aromatic white from Languedoc. Mid Lemon in colour with a touch of brass. Initial aromas of Pear which developed into Fruit Salad with airing. The typical textural waxy fruity feel on the palate of many Mediterranean whites yet finishing dry. A delicious wine which would be a great accompaniment to shellfish/oysters. — 8 years ago

"Follow the white hare" Trinity said. So did I...

Cretan indigenous Vidiano fermented and aged 5 months in barrels (40/60 acacia/oak)

Dense color of brass, golden glitters.
Powerful nasal attack of autumnal forest (note ageing in acacia & oak), melissa and ripe melon turns to opulence of caramel, banana, mango and passion fruit.
Full-bodied, oily and finely rounded palate with vivid yet perfectly integrated acidity and noticeable minerality. Mint candy, sun-dried apricot drink, melon, orange peels, white currant flavors (white plum dominates if wine is over chilled).
Finishes at slow pace, correspondent to palate.
Absolutely self-confident, we enjoyed it relaxing at last evening at Crete. — 9 years ago
