Deft blending, and pretty composition. When cold, shows off linearity. And as it warms up phenolic texture, grassy, dry hay character with a little viscosity. Present RS. Maybe 6g. — 8 years ago
Popped and poured in a Grassl Cru. The fairly light translucent garnet color but excellent intensity present a textbook example of the difference between concentration and extraction. It initially shows evergreen inflected dark cherry on the nose, while a layer of very fine tannin latches on to pure fruit on the palate like Velcro. It broadens out and takes on more savory notes with air. Excellent now and I look forward to seeing what more age will bring to the table. — 6 years ago

Beautifully pure dark cherry with a little spice, it took a little time to open but it did so with great class. — 7 years ago
Such a nice pinot for a warm spring afternoon. Easy on the palate with nothing, wine and smoked gouda, or light dinner. Great wine! — 11 years ago
Infanticide. Amazing nose, and so much depth after Day 1. Hold remaining 3 until at least 2023. — 6 years ago

I have somewhat limited experience with domestic Riesling, but this is so crushable.
Appearance: Pale gold with a very slight greenish tinge, light to medium body, translucent
Nose: Lemon rind, pineapple, petrol-plastic (in the best way)
Taste: pineapple without the biting acidity or sweetness, some green melon, light petrol, Granny Smith green apple
Would say a pleasant surprise but Marcus Goodfellow just kills it more often than not. We paired this with Thai chili crab cakes and a green apple slaw with chili lime cashews and fish sauce based marinade. Perfection. Need some more of this in my life. — 9 years ago
