Really liked the elegance and purity, sift and light red fruits, very fine and filigree like structure. — 9 years ago

I’d write more, but the short version is: this got a table-full of sommeliers to sing the praises of gewürtztraminer, of all things. Some delicacy, good acid, dareisay filigree. A miraculous survival from my inauspicious birth year. — 9 years ago

A little less fresh than I like my manzanilla, but not without filigree. @Alex Alan said it first, but the solera is 7-8 years old. Dynamite with the right food, bet. Deeply savory for manzanilla. — 10 years ago

Tension, purity, verve and filigree come to mind here and can only take the mind to one place for Chardonnay: Chablis. OK so now the mind is set in Chablis with style but then we take a different take on the finish that was crazy long and pure, dry extract on full display here as this hummed along nicely to the finish. Another amazing Chardonnay from Jim Law at Linden. — 9 years ago

Frothy bubbles with a light and airy, fresh field flower brightness in the nose. Filigree sweetness and jubilant acidity make for a highly refined palate that should keep the glasses flowing. — 10 years ago

Great value, incredible quality: elegance, tight rope acidity, fine bubbles, complex aromas of wet stones, citrus, white flowers, filigree on the palate, long finish. Disgorged July 27, 2014. — 10 years ago

All this goodness at 12.9% alcohol. Absurd, I say. Great clarity and focus. Intense mineral notes with a lime finish piercing purity, and a very detailed filigree about it. A wine you want to spend the night on to ruminate. — 10 years ago

I just tasted the Verona style of gorgeous Valpolicello Ripasso. Made by a winemaker who worked with Maestro Quintarelli, L'Arco brings that same delicate filigree of tensile strength & length woven like a spider web of pleasure! Impressive, nuanced, charming. — 9 years ago

Definitely marked by the softer acid vintage, in addition to the acid dampening effects of botrytis. Really intense, broad texture with a lot of appealing bitterness. Great blend of savory and fruity, with lots of filigree and shades of flavor hovering around the salted stone fruit spectrum. A very particular but generous and compelling expression of dry Riesling. — 10 years ago

9.3

Very flowery, with filigree texture and fine mousse. Thought it was 2000 or 2004 when tasted blind (not chalky enough to be '02). Definitely better than the Belle Époque from last week. Good juice. Still prefer Krug though. Had with Easter dinner. — 10 years ago

Reliable and focused, but definitely lacking some of the filigree and intensity of its stable-mates. — 11 years ago

Incredible now but needs time to show the detail, filigree and athleticism. — 12 years ago
