Interesting, but I liked it; petrol, lawn fertiliser, honey, dew. Reminded me of early spring yard work. — 9 years ago

This sake is in a tough spot. Overshadowed by its big brother 23, and conversely ripped on by some tasters because it is Dassai. Judging it merely on taste and quality it is outstanding. Guava, apricot, some stewed bamboo shoots and a touch of black licorice. A touch on the sweet side but very balanced, and a precise dry finish.

I feel it is Dassai's best offering. — 10 years ago

Another anniversary, another bottle of '04 Champagne (not that I'm complaining). A unique Blanc de Blanc that has a color almost reminiscent of Mountain Dew (yes, that yellow). Biscuit dough, green apple, green pears and a flinty minerality greet the nose. Sharp acidity and a strong minerality flash through the palette, followed by candied apple and yeasty dough. The balance seems a bit off, but that doesn't take away from the sheer enjoyment of this Champ. The lingering finish will have you thinking about this wine long after you've sipped. — 10 years ago

Light sb style, with clean finish. Not too strong though, almost too delicate. Would be nice with a tiny bit more fruit (FYI--I am not a fan of NZ sb wines, they taste like licking the inside of a mountain dew aluminum can) — 11 years ago

Thick and sweet like honey, slight hints of cinnamon and clove. — 13 years ago

Honey dew. Honey suckle. Orange or lime rind. Stinky cheese rind, a tiny bit of sulfur behind the beauty that adds a complexity.

Aged le Montrachet infused with elegant bubbles -- this is what Krug Clos de Mesnil 1985 is. Toasted baguette, caramelized sugar, apricot honeysuckle, pear and honey dew and a hint of cognac. — 9 years ago

Moss and bramble on the nose. Gives the mental image of morning dew and spring foliage. In the mouth, tart acidity drives this wine with a pleasant herbaceous finish. — 11 years ago

The cool 2011 vintage really helped preserve the acidity on this delicious wine, whose perfume is of grasses, bamboo, and an intriguing note of candied pineapple/guava. More of the same on the palate with very good body, excellent acidity, and a beautiful long finish. — 12 years ago

A lovely blend of key lime and green apple, a touch of honey dew, intensely flavored. A touch of chalk and kernel, the latter mostly aroma. High acid, medium to light body, strong finish initially but clips off. — 9 years ago

Had to take a picture of this in front of an apple tree, it is so pure, like a perfectly fresh picked piece of fruit, cold and covered in dew. — 10 years ago

Youthful but already giving a lot, this is the greatest Baracca produced so far, and likely ever. Astonishing aromatic complexity on the nose where grilled Meyer lemons, honey dew melon, autumn pear and papaya fruit are complemented by oriental spice, loads of greenish herbs and wet chalky soil additions. On the palate, it wraps you in a luxury cashmere blanket where hints of barrel tannins add depth to the lush, perfectly ripe lemons and juicy green apple flavors, expanding in a rarely seen fashion. Multi-layered and crazy long, this sets a new standard not only for Miani and the region as such, but also for the variety, as this sort of complexity arrives very seldom and when it does, it usually addresses Burgundy's finest Crus. Amazing length bringing freshly squeezed lemon juice and chalky spice,, adding lift and sincere interest. Surpassing any Chardonnay in my life, so far. 100 p. — 10 years ago

Good balance between acidity, tannins and fruit. Fields in morning dew, with hints of crush fallen acorns and pepper in the nose. Pepper, blackberries and willow reed flavors. — 12 years ago
