Probstey Spätburgunder 2015

Wow. Amazing distinctive wine. Nose is searingly fresh cherry cherry flower and a hint of cherry liquor. Palate is fresh cherries and some awesome spice. So fresh and juicy. A hint of spatburgundery bitterness. Amazing wine. So delicious but also unique and complex. Bought from Fass Selections ... as this opens the brightness integrates and the internal aromatics become more prominent. Some licorice on the finish. At the very high end of delicious. I hope I have some of this to try in a few Years. It could be profound. — 7 years ago

Nose is heaven. Tar roses earth. Some anise. Palate is medium density cherries with great acidity. Finish is so long and juicy. Licorice just coats the palate and lips. Really lingers. Wow. Bought from Fass Selections. ... great texture. Amazing internal aromatics. Black cherry liquor and licorice and chicory and spice. Amazing. Sweet licorice finish. Love this. — 7 years ago

Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

When the price of this doubles in a few years grown men and women will be weeping that they didn’t buy more. Myself included. Explosive fruit and minerality. More than enough balancing acidity for the 15 acidity alarmists. As this opens it has palate expansiveness. My gut is that this will improve with more age. Wow. Bought from Fass Selections. Ok an hour in this is killing it. Profound wine. — 7 years ago

@Noah Raizman @Aravind Asok freshness can also come from minerality and not just acid. Top 15’s have good acids not great but the freshness is terrific because of the mineral expression. I love the vintage. More in Côte d’Or than Chablis if I had to pick.

Durbacher Plauelrain Klingelberger Trocken Riesling 2016

More on the delicious end of the scale on open. Very fruity tangerine. Citrus. Awesomely mineral of course. Nice acidity. Lovely nose. As it opens becoming more serious. Rocky finish. ... fast forward 15 minutes. Ok ... now it’s liable. I’m chewing on rocks in a lemon vineyard. Best lemons ever. Sweet lemons with the acidity of regular lemons. Ok that makes no sense unless you are a lemon geek. Nose is insane. Gods lemon oil. Mad love. Bought from Fass Selections. — 7 years ago

Love this Zinfandel. Spicey berry and medium bodied. Not too fruity like a lot of Zinfandel. Getting more! — 10 years ago
