Strong pear fruit, with moderate minerality and acidity. It seemed to me to be a little sweeter than some kabinett wines, and to have a hint of the spice that Riesling sometimes has. — 8 years ago

One of our all-time favorite estates and one that is a hallmark of great Ruwer Valley Rieslings--delicate, elegant, downright pretty! This 1989 late-pick is a small botrytis bomb yet never heavy or cloying--a truly sensuous experience!

Endless flower and pristine fruit balanced with washed mineral. A striking clarity. Whisps of botrytis'd concentration countered with humming acid. Finessed texture without the baby fat. Quenching and still youthful. — 8 years ago

Happy New Year!

Maybe the Michel Arnould old vines powerhouse is too serious for a lighthearted celebration, but it was just right for father and son wine geeks having New Years dinner alone together for the first time since 1999.

85 Barros colheita port
92 Bruno Michel Champagne
94 Charbonniere Chateauneuf old vines

Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg auslese long gold capsule 2004, VDP auction. With peppers stuffed 3 ways: trout mousse, foie gras, and Gorgonzola. A match for all three. The wine had enough botrytis to be beerenauslase--light and deep at the same time like the food. Great job in the kitchen, Gary! — 9 years ago
