Wow was uttered as the glass was lifted to my nose. Amazing dark color and concentration, aromas of lead pencil, dark fruits, wood, and a whiff off mushroom. On the palate a lot of fruit, but very tannic. A friend said this said to be a 100yr wine. I believe it. 92 now lots of upside potential. Visit again in 10yrs — 8 years ago
A delicious '89 for my friend on her 25th! Fragrant nose of dark cherries, licorice and floral notes. A full bodied, amazingly textured and elegant wine with impeccable concentration. Spice, burnt oak, black currant, cedar and earth. Such a fresh, vivacious 20 something. — 9 years ago

Wow!! Fantastic farmer fizz. Seriously hits all the right Champagne notes for me. Nose is concentrated and generous with rich toasted nuts, fresh croissant, baked yellow apple, and a truckload of crushed chalk. The palate surprises with much more precision than the richer nose might indicate, which I LOVE and makes for a really interesting juxtaposition. Hits you with a heavy dose of crushed chalk, which opens up to lemon meringue and crisp orchard fruit, which then gives way to a yeasty, croissant finish, carried from attack to finish with rippling waves of laser-focused acidity and a fine mousse of bubbles. That fine mousse and skillfully managed lees aging provides some nice body, although it's still very lively and nimble. Just... so fucking tasty. — 8 years ago
Was my second of two bottles. Opened the first a year ago and was unimpressed. Drank the second last night and time was its friend. Awesome. — 8 years ago
Only (only?) had the 2002 and it was so lovely. This is the sort of wine that could make me a sweet wine drinker... Full on honey and deliciousness! My friend buys two cases of half bottles per year and after five years sells one to finance that year's two. I may start following suite.. — 9 years ago
With my dear friend Ken Wegner. We graduated from Denison University thirty years ago today!!! Amazing. — 9 years ago
2011- gift from a friend. Excellent structure, tannins are very mellow but alcohol is still very hot. Fruit forward, possibly oxidized fruit (port-like fruit). — 9 years ago

Delicious, very drinkable off-dry reisling. Paired with a summer salad. — 7 years ago
Not sure is this is identified correctly, but age is certainly a friend of this wine. On the nose, we detect kirsch and candied cherries.
The palette, while rich, is not as flamboyant as it was in its youth. Black stone fruits meld with anise and a hint of cloves. Finishes dense and a touch sweet. Wifey rated this as 93 pts. Who am I to argue.

Great Bordeaux blend! Friend were blown away! — 8 years ago
This beautiful 2005 cab was an anniversary gift from a great friend of mine @Jeff Savigny The vintage is the year we got married. The nose is so complex and yet so subdued, it practically blew my mind. A nose full of roses, tobacco, dark fruit and licorice with a hint of molasses and vanilla. On the palate very dry, with a faint aged acidity, yet very rich and delicious. You can spend just as much time smelling this as drinking it. This was a near perfect wine and a great anniversary present! — 9 years ago
