Weingut Bernhard Huber

Bienenberg R GG Spätburgunder 2008

German Pinot Night - Huber has his own oak forest which he uses for his barrels - so he does not use American Oak as one of the reviews suggested. Much more fruit than E&M. A lot of folks loved this wine for me too much fruit but still an excellent wine. Orange zest - lime - plenty of tannins. This has 5-10 year left. Green tea - tart apples 🍏 and hint of cherry. Not imported to the US - suitcase Import. — 7 years ago

Müller 2015

A cold, rainy day in the Berkshires today, several degrees cooler and we'd be getting snow instead. I'm not ready, still yardwork to get done this season!

A head-to-head matchup today, '15 vs. '16 E&M 'Müller' Müller-Thurgau. This '15 is our last bottle, so this is the final evolution check. 😕

No evidence of dissolved gas (CO2 or N2) in this bottle like the '16 showed, but it got a decant anyways. Gold-yellow in color, distinctly different from the '16 today.

Nose has smoked honey, almonds, tropical fruit skins, extra ripe mango and light aroma of crushed minerals.

Palate has gotten crazy complex, honey, stone fruits, pineapple core, tangerine, lemon pith and mashed tropical fruit. Evolving more with each sip, finish is picking up a nice apricot note.

Wow what a difference the extra year makes. Likely we're hiding the remainder of our '16 away for maybe a year or two, hopeful on a similar evolution.

Minaia Gavi Cortese 2014

Waxy, lemon and tart apple notes... very dry with lively acidity. Nice mid-palate weight and a long, lingering finish. Much more complex than the average Gavi di Gavi. Works well on a very hot July night in Rome. — 9 years ago

Vigneto Monte Lodoletta Valpolicella Superiore Corvina Blend 2009

O. M. G! And this is just their Valpolicella! I can only imagine the ecstasy of their Amarone. Such amazing depth, yet light and elegant. Dried red pomegranate fruit and leather on the nose, but it opens to darker depths of wild black fruits and creosote smoke on the palate, plus a bit of a briny note to a finish that goes on for-e-ver. Paired with a glazed pork chop to complete an amazing meal. TGIF!! — 10 years ago

Baden Spätburgunder Rosé 2018

Words escape me...Notes later, best E&M Rosé to date!

Nose has ripe cranberry, mashed raspberry, blood orange flesh, mashed strawberry, recently cut grass, oak bark and a pint of cherries.

Palate has tart cherry, strawberry, over-ripe raspberry, fresh Clementine peel, (minor) baking spice, cold plum with a long finish. Weighty yet finessed

I can't believe I'm stating this, but I think this wine exceeds the 2017 version, which I thought was bonkers, this is better!

@Severn Goodwin Great notes. Reminds me of how good this was. One of the most memorable wines of the year for me thus far. Going to be hard to wait on the few bottles I have left. Darn, maybe I need to get more!

Green apple nose. In the glass white sherry and pear. This wine needs food! Very unusual and for wine geeks only. A unique taste. Will certainly lead to discussions some will hate it others will like it. According to E&M this needs time in the bottle. Certainly needs to be decanted. Don't drink too cold! — 10 years ago
