@Lyle Fass thank you for this wine! Big, authentic intoxicating Medoc nose immediately upon opening w/Bing cherry, cassis, boysenberry and raspberry beautifully integrated with savory, bay leaf, mossy tree bark, mushroom, sweet damp Earth and vein of minerality. Seductive inky & opaque, mid to heavyweight, fluid luxurious mid palate with solid tannic structure clenching tightly on finish. Strutted w/roasted leg of lamb. Long life ahead - bump for QPR — 4 years ago

Yummy classically styled Riesling from Finger Lakes, purchased at the winery yearsss ago. On the nose peaches, petrol and lemons. In the mouth, decent acid, slightly too high sweetness for the acid balance, lemon curd and minerals. Medium finish. Very well made and spot on for an aged classic Pfalz Spätlese. Update Day 2 - bump to 90, better integrated sugar/acid and stronger petrol. — 5 years ago

Very typical aged Brunello. Dark cherries. Well integrated tannins and still has some good acidity for great balance. Seriously good. Buy again!!! Bump up the score again. So realiably good and reasonably priced. — 6 years ago

Really just a fruit bomb on opening. Hoping for some additional elements to come through. For being a 2009, though, it tastes like a new wine. On day two it was more interesting and still vibrant and young. So a slight bump. — 7 years ago

That might have been the best fried chicken I have ever had. Was it the chicken or was it the Goisses? Just the perfect amount of texture, bubbles, and bump. Buy that 2005. — 8 years ago

Circling back on this bottle and I think I’ll bump the score up a notch from my initial rating of 89/100. I still think this lacks structure and a sense of purpose, but the notes are still appealing nonetheless: caramel green apple, dark chocolate with orange zest, and stewed Luxardo cherries, along with some cedar shavings. — 4 years ago

This was flat out delicious: squid ink, opaque dense looking and tasting w/gobs of black fruit: blackberry, cherry & plum. baked quality to the fruit. Hints of Earth and a minerally Iodine but by & large fruit focused. Infinitely smooth & caressing - went down (dangerously) easy as we had to do a double take at the empty decanter! .2 bump for QPR! — 5 years ago

As usual, Behrens delivers. Weird label for sure, but a delicious, big and bold blend. 93 on PnP. After a few hours, a bump to 95 — 8 years ago

CV tasting Bordeaux 11/29/16. Nose of Forest leaves that's mature and hints of dark flowers notes. Palate still had tannins and long finish. Opened 7/26/17. Drinking well. Dark berries under the forest notes and good balance on palate with a note of wildness. Would give it a bump up to 8.9 from 8.8 — 8 years ago

White flowers, honey suckle, some stone fruit. Good acidity though I would quite call it laser-like. A tad more focus and I would bump it up another notch or two. Great producer and I think more reasonable than some other domaines for the quality. — 5 years ago

It’s weird! Fruity and light like a Pinot noir but floral and herby like caraway and the lightest fennel. 8.7 on the tastiness but gets a bump for being interesting. — 6 years ago

That was bump set spike point. So damn perfect. Elegant, soft, integrated. Not an off-putting moment. Had it in a decanter for 90 minutes before we touched it. Served with smoked turkey Kisswhich heaven. — 7 years ago

Remember the last time you had a bad port?


No. No, you don't. Because bad port is not a thing.

Deep dark plummy fruit, that good not-quite-cloying-sweetness, Sweet Mother... I'm very excited to drink it again over the next several days as it has a chance to open. I hope I need to revisit and bump the rating. — 8 years ago

bump for the pairing. Smoked pork neck and peppery roasted cauliflower is spot on with this — 9 years ago
