Nice Cab, plenty of character and tannins — 7 years ago
Love it! Not too sweet but just enough! — 9 years ago
Nice aromatics. All manner of citrus in the mouth. Quite good, but I don't necessarily feel the need to cheat on #RiasBaixas again. — 10 years ago
Considered a semi-sweet that lingers on the sweeter side — 10 years ago
Kicking off with this bottle to start a night is putting in a cheat code for a game. Layers and layers of flavors. Pears, apricot compote, yeasty goodness and more. #primetimewinetime #右上の会 — 7 years ago
Ok ok.... it’s been a while! Maybe this is a holiday affair! I cheat on France when I’m away, shush, she’ll never know. I’m 40,000 feet/11k in meters high on Virgin Atlantic Wi-fi (this is clearly the future). ‘The Storey’
I bought two within the last two weeks. Bought and opened on recommendation (local wine shop in the village). The looks - label old skool European, 15%+ dark and stormy. I drank both bottles at two diffident occasions and felt the same emotion (bit 80’s I know)...... skiing in Whistler, snowy night with Mrs W. Kids sleeping and a plate of plastic North American cheese. Don’t be angry, I loved it. There are wines to be drunk in winter and there are cold wines. This one at room/blood temperature (27c/80f) with 40mins breathing time and it just floored us. I want to point out this wine is not a quick drink. I bolt red like blueberry/cranberry/black currant juice but it just wouldn’t be rushed. Smooth and I mean smooth. Salty, Carmel and Brandy/almonds....... No other description will describe. It’s just like maple syrup in consistency. It snowed outside but it shon in the glass. Second date: New Year’s Eve, -13 outside. 4 other people I didn’t really know on an impromptu dinner. We ate, drank and talked (I talked rubbish but I’ll never see them again) then it came time for the cheese board. The wine was too cold when we arrived. It was too cold for starter and mains but 3hrs in, opened and primed it was sit you down amazing (again). A NYE to remember. Don’t take it from me, ask the nobodies I’ll never see again. I thought maybe I’d/we’d just had a moment the time before but it’s that good (it really was). Don’t take my word for it, try it alone or with strangers but make sure you drink it slooooooooowly — 7 years ago
Light and sweet with great pear accents. Perfect for summer. — 10 years ago
Worth a drinking cheat night for a glass of this — 7 years ago
First encounter. Interesting funky nose with stones and minerals. Acidic balance with some stone fruit and medium body and good finish. Reminds me of that Matthiasson Ribolla except less weighty and stony and more fruit. It's Gruner Veltliner! All natural. Will be excellent with food. — 8 years ago
2015 vintage. Apricot, pear and Apple. A bit of minerality. — 9 years ago
If one could polish a roasted rack of lamb with essential oil of Syrah I imagine this to be it. Always a winner. It's almost like a cheat code because there is no mystery as to whether this will be enjoyed by everyone or not. Always 👍🏼 — 10 years ago
Really great. I am dining at 3 Forks. So happy. I am always concerned about 2004 because I think there were tons of lady bugs that year. But I guess no problem for the great properties — 10 years ago
Enjoyed 2 bottles of this luscious wine (2006) at our Corks & Forks club tonight. Drinking perfectly. Paired with stuffed beef tenderloin. — 10 years ago
