“Good things come to those who wait“. I bought this wine in 2015 from SommSelect. Ian Cauble recommended to wait 3 to 4 years. Terrific advice! Marvelous and only $35. — 7 years ago

Pop the cork 1 hr. ahead of time. At $38 in 2017, this was a terrific value. Dried cherry, berries, “silky mouthfeel” - Ian Cauble SommSelect. Perfect with roast chicken. — 8 years ago

“There is so much wine packed into this $34 bottle it must be tasted to be believed- except that when you taste it, you can’t believe it! The cacophony of aromas, the richness of texture, the profundity of the minerality… Everything about it is extraordinary.” - Ian Cauble, SommSelect. Serve at 50° — 7 years ago

How is this possible at $24. Well, if you inherit the land you reduce cost. This is even better that the 2012 Vintage I had in 2016. “This is masterfully crafted white burgundy sourced from naturally farmed 70-year-old vines”- Ian Cauble SommSelect. — 7 years ago

"Very well-balanced. The tannins have now rounded out but the acidity is prominent enough to keep the alcohol in check and allow a terrific Bouquet to be released: sweet red cherries licorice BlackBerry and lots of warm spices..." - Ian Cauble from SommSelect — 8 years ago

"more than a decade of age has lent this 2005 a deep golden yellow hue though there are no signs of Browning whatsoever at the rim...the fruit component is a tangy mix of yellow apple, pear, peach pit…" - Ian Cauble — 8 years ago

“Batrta’s Oreg Kiray Dulo is a frontrunner for Hungary’s finest grape-growing site. This is dry Furmint like you’ve never experienced-it has more texture, pure fruit, and mineral verve than many of the world’s greatest whites.” - Ian Cauble, SommSelect. He nails it once again. Paid $35 — 7 years ago

2015. Doesn't pretend to be anything other than it is. Bright red fruit combined with expected minerality. Too easy to drink and a great match tonight with grilled bone-in pork chops. Wish I had bought a case. Thanks to David Lynch and Ian Cauble for a great pick. At $18 more than satisfying QPR. Magnums next time. — 8 years ago
