A really crisp champagne from a small(ish) independent house. Almost like a milky tone. — 7 years ago

Tear up the vintage chart, forget about the dominance of Chardonnay in Chassagne- this is a delicious red Burgundy. This Colin has sappy fruit, seamless texture and great fresh, red Pinot fruit. This wine has generous aromatics and flavors- after an hour in the decanter it was completely open, yet never stopped offering interest. This delivers on the promise of good Burgundy- a far rarer bird than great Burgundy, at a very fair price! — 8 years ago
Magnum,
Decanting 1 glass first to make sure I get the correct time on it, don't want to miss the sweet spot, 15.8 abv.
30 min to blow off the funky nose then 1 hour to 1.5 hour
Make that 2- 2.5 hour at least on the magnum.
Realm allocation release on Tuesday don't forget! — 8 years ago
Stunning champagne. Forget about those mass market bottles and buy this vintage grower champagne. 2004. $75. — 10 years ago
Such a great wine, big & approachable...down right delicious. Dark fruit, chocolate, slight cigar on the nose, washes over your palate and dances to your delight. Love this wine, and the price...forget about it! — 10 years ago
@Dominik SonaYou're the best! Walks off into the cellar, comes out carrying a massive bottle in a sleeve that could barely cover the label. I just love how ridiculous magnum riesling bottles look! I mean, we could see that it's a Koehler-Ruprecht for sure and the table shot straight to a warm vintage on the first sip (warm finish). Didn't take long for Franzi to identify the vintage and the rest of the pieces fell together subsequently (the body = spatlese, forget identifying the "R"). Guess making wines at the winery itself helps 😂
What to say about this wine? It's pretty intense, but the acidity and minerals kept it in check. Finely strung with pitch-perfect tension. This is the kind of wine that needs very little to push it over the edge into the hedonistic territory. Begs for time (like other 09's), as it's true elegance only revealed itself with air (bring on the crushed rocks and chamomile!). The nose is deep, with exotic fruit aromas, flint, toasted almond, florals, and that classic KR funk. Immense palate with lots of lychee and grapefruit, plus superb minerality with air. Creamy and long finish. Yes, the wine finishes a little warm and could be touch more focus, but it's a real class act for 09'! Power without weight, if you ask me. — 6 years ago
Drank this at a crazy lunch at Guy Savoy in Paris and will never forget it. Such a fleshy fruity memorable bottle. — 8 years ago

Brought by Naoko. We've all heard it and experienced in some cases, the 2000 vintage in Napa wasn't supposed to be that great. The press said it, and we followed suit by not buying. Well, taste this blind and forget anything about that because it's stunning. You can tell it's a cool vintage but after about 30 mins of decanting it really opened up. Gorgeous fruit and very brambly. On a wine list it will most def be underpriced. Nab it. — 9 years ago
A very dark and thick wine, with a strong berry nose and streams of vanilla throughout. Strong tannins and an amazing vanilla flavor that is complemented by the oaky butteriness of this wine! Mollydooker is an excellent winery and they have some truly amazing wines. (PS don't forget the Mollydooker shake!) — 10 years ago

Vintage 2014 / I never forget my visit to the ‘Bure Alto’ vineyard, because I was impressed how high the vines were tied and grown. It’s an amazing site. This wine has a compelling smell: warm, spices, coffee, mocca and even chocolate. Smooth drinking with deer goulash and stewed bell pepper. #valpolicella #ripasso — 7 years ago
I always forget how delicious this is. Perfect for brunch on a beautiful Sunday afternoon!!! — 8 years ago
Maybe the best vintage I've every had from one of my favorite vineyards. The nose is huge, flavor super complex with deep, lasting finish. Valley floor/st. Helena at its very best. Dark fruit finish stays with you. I'll never forget. — 8 years ago
Deep in color and fragrant on the nose, this dark ruby red from Sicily offers a powerful set of aromas: cassis, black olives, cigar box, leather, anise and smoke all come around fairly quickly. This is one of those wines I run across from time to time that smells so good I almost forget to drink it. Almost. The palate is dark and savory. Blackberry and black plum are the most notable fruit flavors, but the Morgante is all about the trimmings. There is a muddy forest floor component and, if you are new to wine, rest assured that it’s a good thing. Minerality comes in abundance and there is a hint of sage there, too, with notes of tea, coffee and root beer finding their way through. — 10 years ago
4/28/15 grand finale at j and j. The 90 is what you thought it was and what I remember. And what you can never forget. The ultimate reminder of why one loves wine. — 10 years ago

2008. Bomb.com... rich and elegant with nuance of fresh oak. It’s young and beastly but damn so fresh. I want to wait but tempted to drink my whole stash right now. Lovely!
