Pear, unripe raspberry, camembert rind, ethyl acetate/scotch tape, m+ acid, m+ finish. — 9 years ago
Pretty good for a wine under $9 . Really enjoyed it with some a nice ribeye steak — 10 years ago
The limestone pokes through in a brilliant acidic manner and cuts through the scotch tape/honeyed pear skin/styrofoam aromas, but the palate has a blip of honey before being cleaved in three by that samurai acid. Man this is great! And yes, that's pizza. Second time doing this pairing, and let only he/she who has tried the pairing cast the first stone--because it's one of the weirdest, most instant gratification pairings out there. The Chenin stands on top the tomato pretty squarely. — 10 years ago
Inside Virginia, I will be very strict and stern with my ratings for varietals… The tale of the tape —>> to the scorecard our key indicators. this fella may be a little on the downward slope even after 5 1/2 years. I will remind myself that this was a cool vintage and the sugars We’re going to be in a tug-of-war with the beneficial acids. Purposeful for the meal we connected, this was not, however a purple bomb… Rather an accurate rifle shot at 100m. To his credit: the nose was nearly perfect in varietal representation. The pallet lost an edge as the mid palate dark chocolate body turn just a touch savory — 6 years ago
Last night, this top-three-wine-of-my-life, from the one of the greatest hands ever to prune a vine, the mythical Burgundian Henri #Jayer 🇫🇷 , who was an inspiration to so many great winemakers (including those of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti). Jayer was the template, the prototype, doing pure, unfiltered, minimal-intervention wine long before it was even a thing. Drinking this 1959 Jayer #Richebourg was like getting to listen to the original master tape of Zeppelin IV 🎸, experiencing it exactly as the artist intended, with elevated highs, more resonant bass, and sharply delineated nuances 🎶. Even after 58 years, it was fresh and generous, a veritable Roman candle 🌋 of plums, cherries, spice, and smoke. It had this minty-woodsy character than reminded an artist at the table of “Arches watercolor paper” and “India ink”. To me, it was like the best forest you have ever smelled -- Muir Woods 🌳 in a glass. Its velvety finish rolled on forever, and only after about 40 minutes did its overall taste finally start to fade. This wine had everything. 🙏 — 8 years ago
A hint of band aid/trainers tape on the nose. Flavors are very nice. Black pepper and curry powder. Strong stuff. — 9 years ago
Would be great with food. White flowers, smelly feet, scotch tape — 9 years ago
Drinking out on the deck without a jacket on Christmas in Connecticut. Surreal.
Ah, the wine. This is the best white Crozes I've had. Gorgeous nose. Flowers, honey, sweet straw, bitter deep pear. Waxy, ripe, earthy, minerally. Great length. Put a piece of tape over the "Crozes" and I'd believe you that this was a white Hermitage. Delicious. ($22 from Fass Selections) — 10 years ago
Frick makes gorgeous wine and this is no exception. Opulent with classic Gewurztraminer fruit and floral notes. Dreamy winter wine I just want to keep smelling. Duct Tape Wine. — 7 years ago

Golden straw color, delightful ice wine with (I hate to say it) duct tape, dark fruit and amazing not-so-sweet finish. Perfect dessert wine. — 9 years ago
Tasty amber. Pairs well with college football. — 9 years ago
T'as raison Stef, la grand cru est meilleure. Un soupçon artisanale, une belle couleur dorée, un bon goût fruité et une belle mousse abondante. Elle titre à 9.5, ça ne se sent pas trop sur le coup, mais finalement ça tape quand même — 10 years ago
