A living Riesling of a storied house of age old Biodynamic principles, Nikolaihof is to the Wachau of Österreich what Nicolas Joly is to Savennières of France, pure, mercurial in its textures and tension and protean in its white blossom, fresh apricots and dry honeycomb. 2008 marks another marvelous vintage. A wine you want to kiss on the lips. — 9 years ago

Não me canso de beber esse vinho... uma delícia de Chenin Blanc. No fundo eu o considero um passo a frente dos Nicolas Joly. — 10 years ago

Wow! Sweet, complex, and clearly young at 9 years old. This is why we swoon for Riesling. On an evening where we taste a host of high powered reds along with cult faves Joly and Gravner, this was the wine of the night for me. First bottle on the table to be emptied. Says it all right there. — 11 years ago

Smashing wine. Comparable to aged Chenins like those from Joly but with a gritty, gripping quality that can only be a sign of the vines' age. The 2005 consumed tonight had another 20 years of elegance. Unfortunate that this was our only bottle! — 10 years ago

Nose: Fresh Almond. Hints of Golden apple. Cream. Floral. Slight petrol mineral. Palate: High acidity for condrieu, quite powerful flavor impact in mouth, extend FAR into the throat, but not as far as the Nicolas joly — 12 years ago

Well balanced, open for a 2010, intense, lovely mineralogy and length. Enjoyed with my dad and a seafood BBQ. — 12 years ago

This Merlot is vinted in a lighter bodied style than its Bordeaux brethren, with minimal oak, allowing the fruit to really shine. Smooth plum and chocolate flavors dominate with hints of spice, leading into a nice long black currant finish. — 9 years ago

The wine Stein made for Noma. Native yeasts/no sulfur. Rich. Botrytis-y nose. Reminds me of Nicolas Joly wines Ive had in the past. Pretty wild. Wish I had more time with it. — 10 years ago

Нос оксидативный - рижский бальзам, херес, портящийся сырой картофель. Во вкусе грецкий орех, сырой картофель, белый изюм. Долгое послевкусие шелухи грецкого ореха и горьких трав.
Очень стройное вино, статное, с характером и аристократической выдержкой. Подобраться к нему непросто: видимо, требуется больший опыт, терпение и внимание. Но силу этого вина понимаешь и без опыта сомелье. Ощущения схожи с винами Nicolas Joly. — 10 years ago

Killer tasting at Spectrum last week: Ponsot, 82 Certan de May, Philloponat, Joly, l'Ermite, but this stole the show. Great wine. — 11 years ago
