Young wine with mild OH on the nose paired with very nice fruit. Plums, prunes, and blackberry on the palate, but lighter than most cabs. Nice finish, and the recommendation was spot on as this wine definitely punches above it's weight at $20+. Curious as to other opinions. — 8 years ago
Crazy rosatto by the king of Etna Frank Cornelissen ! Powerful, complex and intriguing nose on wild strawberries, pomegranate, grapefruit, cut grass... super fresh palate with kicking acidity, high bitterness and... tannins ! Radical wine and I love it ! — 9 years ago
Crazy youthful energy despite its intense, complex toasty and nutty character. A standout amongst a lineup of standouts — 10 years ago

1990: Corked, unfortunately. My mom had the best line, "It sure tastes better than it smells!" I recall what it was like on release, hard candy sweetness with a surprisingly light framework, particularly compared to both the '88 & '89 on release, and the crazy depth of the'90 Ch. Filholt Creme de tete, which was massively concentrated. This bottle still had oomph, yet wasn't all there. — 10 years ago

If the 2010 Dauvissat forest on the prior night was about pleasure then this is about pain. Piercing; incredibly palate staining grapefruit rind and lemon segments. Long and tense. Still felt crazy young (or shutdown?) We did enjoy it but I’d wait on this if you can — 8 years ago
Pinot from the most unsuspecting region (Baden), you would be crazy to not buy this in 6 or 12 packs, it's that delicious and around $30! — 9 years ago

Wowsers. Super complex. Got to try it because someone sent it back to the Somm because it wasn't bubbly.. Loaded with stone fruit, mint, sage, crazy minerality and zippin acidity. — 10 years ago
Crazy good paired with dipping into gamba al ajillo (emphasis added), at Napa's groovy/real Zuzu, catching a classic deeply dirty nose while still sporting sun-drenched  fruit that initially reworks one's first blush front mouth with an iodine edge that morfs into red and black fruit edgy with acid/tannin slow dancing to the depths and begging for another pinch of broth soaked chewy freshly baked bread and the associated next swig of this sweet juice...rhythmically stellar by day or by night😎🌌👣🍷🌀🎼
PS hit Zuzu (friendly, delicious and real...
