La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2004

This is indeed quite a lovely old school rioja, the nose awash with savoury leafy tones, tobacco and warm earth, dried plums and unfortunately the coconut dill of american wood....very refined palate, mid-sized, fluent and sweet n sour throughout, delicious peat moss and mud tones, plenty of dried fruit, however a creaminess to the texture and a splash of cedar on the finish detracts from its otherwise unmistakable beauty. I just can't help but feel this would be so much better without the american oak. I can only wait for the day all top riojan wines cast aside the shadow of their past, and believe wholesomely in the grandeur of their unique terroir. — 11 years ago

Bourgogne Aligoté

2011
🇫🇷 Et enfin, hier soir, on nous a servi en dégustation à l'aveugle un Bourgogne Aligoté. La plus petite des Appellatios... mais dans ce cas capable d'exprimer tous l'essence des grands vins de Bourgogne ❤️ La grandeur de Lalou Bize Leroy

🇮🇹 ieri sera ci è stato servito alla cieca un Bourgogne Aligoté. L'ultima delle Appellations borgognone, che nel caso specifico è stata in grado di esprimere tutta l'essenza dei grandi vini di Borgogna.

little oxidized but still amazing. It's like a huge chamber of a cathedral, grandeur structure and a bit rare sense of blood. In a good, delicate and wild way. — 12 years ago

Mönchhof Robert Eymael

Spätlese Riesling 2006

Tallest mag I've ever seen. The juice matches the grandeur of the bottle. Gorgeous nose -- minerals, pear skin, snatches of petrol. Palate explodes with snappy acidity, suave texture, sweet fleshy mid-palate, refreshing salinity throughout, and long unctuous finish. 7 years old, but incredibly youthful. — 13 years ago
