@Delectable Wine this the Huhnerberg Auslese **. Thanks!

Wow. Young but lots going on. Unreal clarity and filigree. But nose seems quiet. Wild mint. So young. So rich, so ripe, so honeyed, so young. I’ll be back. Too hard to really judge. 9.6 for now. — 4 years ago

More delicate and filigree than Wombat. Traditional chablis profile - citrus, some mineral and spice from oak. Linear and focused with strong acid spine. — 5 years ago

93/100pts, 4.4⭐. Arcadia, home of legends & the oldest Gewurztraminer of Greece, here in 2017 vintage.

Yellow with silver hues.
Impressions of seductive tropical florals in misty nursery on enchanting nose.
Med+ body with elegant acidity in playful mood with solid minerality.
Lychee, marjoram, unripe apple & half baked bread notes in layered palate.
Awesome aftertaste, slightly off dry spring herbals. Long finish.

🗨 2017 vintage proves the most elegant Gewurzt ever produced in Greece.
A liquid filigree. — 6 years ago

Age has revealed a wonderful essence of mixed fruit compote, savory spices and filigree of balance, structure and finish. Quite extraordinary. — 7 years ago

A real contrast to the 2007, the Wine had an elegant nose with lanolin, red apple, Bosc pear with lovely creamy spice tones. Palate is high pitched but broad with mineral laced tangerine, Fuji apple and cardamom spice tones. This is a lighter weight Blanc from the Domaine. It has an elegant, mineral filigree to the finish. Drinks nicely now but still has upside. — 8 years ago

The worst house in the best street. Pedigree is showing. Burgundian character. Filigree; without the body or structure of their other cuvees. Pass for $45. — 4 years ago

aromas of wild mushrooms, cured meats, cigar box & kretek, wilting violets & potpourri, smudge sticks

pastels, aerated kirsch, bruised blueberries, soft black licorice, bordering on pain grille with the vein of acid surviving through the finish

The medium-dark wine really has a powerful nose, or maybe I should say an “expressive” one. The dark fruit is draped in earth and minerals and some of the more lovely holiday spice and pencil-lead notes that I've run across lately. On the palate, the fruit tastes “grown up” instead of candied - savory instead of sweet. The tannic structure is firm yet fanciful, the mouthfeel flinty yet filigree. The wine will pair wonderfully with a steak or a pork chop, but it's a great sipper, too. — 7 years ago

I almost don't want to post about this wine as its so good and so affordable ($25) for a wine made from ungrafted 100 year-old vines from heart of this vineyard, the Rotlay composed of blue slate chucks in a shallow decomposed slate soil on a slate bedrock. #itsaslatething in the #mosel
Now the wine? Outrageously good with sweet citrus and nerve, lazer beam acids with and sense of pure rock minerality, filigree and linear on the palate. A touch of sweetness as this is medium dry, the acids balance is so perfect they both taper together into a long finish. This should easily go 20 years, likely even more...if you can wait that long!

This sung. Fine and diverse aromatics with great filigree, roses and spice, purple silken fruit, cocoa powder, ginger. Lovely flavors and energy. The texture is stunning as one might expect and harmonious, bright and deep at once. Truly a special wine. Nowhere near ready and totally open at once. Regal and elegant. — 6 years ago

To my taste, the best year-in, year-out red of French Catalonia. The confit red fruits, pie spice, bramble and wood smoke on the nose make you think it’s going to be a sledgehammer...and then it’s all elegance, filigree and lift on the palate, as it’s only 12.5% alcohol. Simple, non-interventionist vinification, but none of that natural bullshit. Everything in perfect order. #rocdesanges #roussillon #grenache #syrah #carignane — 7 years ago

Fresh, crisp, delicious with just enough RS and that filigree texture of the Mosel. A bargain too. — 8 years ago

Fresh, tensile and loaded with filigree structure, this is one sharp and linear dry Riesling. The cooler vintage is apparent, but I still get some peach, honey, and then the citrus parade starts with lime, lemon and pink grapefruit. An underlying saline and smoky mineral note completes the terroir expression. Complex. Gorgeous. Oddly enough this would pair exceptionally with some ice cold raw oysters with just a spritz of lemon juice.

Very pure Gruner character, green apple and lime, with filigree and tension. An amazing value to boot as well. In 2015 Knoll knocked it out of the park. — 9 years ago
