Wow, real knockout stuff. This is not domestic Muscadet - there's not much in common besides the grape. It has the bright, pure fruit but it is put together in a much fuller style, more like a white Burgundy (minus the oak) than Muscadet. I don't say Chablis because while it's an intensely mineral wine and cranked up to 11 in that department, it's not a marine minerality. The mineral element here is volcanic (and so is the soil), bringing to mind all those cliches about aromas bursting from the glass and so forth, and it's every bit as driving on the palate. — 10 years ago

When a wine finally has its moment. Have visited @wieninger's 2009 Nussberg Alte Reben Wiener Gemischter Satz for three years hoping for it to crack open and gush forth with giving fruit, minerals, textural play. It has. It's ready, folks! #wienerwein — 10 years ago

A nice ruby red in color. Cedar and toasty oak with dark cherries come forth on the nose. Cherries, sweet spice, plums, hints of licorice with floral notes on the palate. A more weightier Pinot with smooth tannins and a good balanced finish. I am more of a Burgundian Pinot kind of guy but this is a nice change of pace. — 11 years ago

Intense and flavorful with less heat than one would expect. Nose; Caramel, vanilla, toasty rich oak, tempered corn. Thick and full bodied with notes of toast, caramel, vanilla, coconut, roasted corn on the cob, toffee, candy, all round out the fairly sweet palate. Addition of water brings forth a mellower, floral, fruity, and campfirey profile. 132.1 Proof — 10 years ago

Powerful fruit on nose upon opening. Plummy and chocolaty, smooth texture, full and long finish. Lots of oak influence, woody notes go back and forth with fruit--a little overpowering at times. Enjoyable, but maybe needs a few more years to even out. — 11 years ago
