Nice sparkling. Good lees on the nose and in the mouth, maybe too much? But I like it. — 11 years ago

what a riesling statement!
super elegant, not baroque, crisp and focused - and if blind presented you know in the second it's an "achleiten": the wine stinks a bit of harbour breeze, saline air, broken mussels and seaweed, fuel gas. ...and stone fruit.
fantastic!

1997 vintage. From Jay. did not start well! massive amounts of kerosene and jet fuel on the nose...i looked at the somm and said "i feel like i'm at an airport!". once the kerosene blew off, which did not take more than about 10 to 15 minutes, things got very interesting. quite a special wine. viscously rich with razor-like acidity that burst with ripeness and finesse. the balance of the wine is sublime with intense concentration to complement the searing acidity. yellow citrus, honey and floral essence (white flowers) shine through and linger on the palette together with a slight nuttiness which delves into a finish which although is not epic is certainly worthy of applause! 97/100 — 11 years ago
Further proof (no pun intended) that some wines can in fact handle >15% alc without being rocket fuel. — 11 years ago
Super beautiful tattoo fuel. Red grapefruit, pith & all. — 13 years ago
Another wine to fuel my obsession on Bandol. It's getting extra points for showcasing that age. — 10 years ago
Excellent balance, notes of apples, pear and cream. Long bracing finish with the bubbles. What a value. JR wine. Maria dinner. — 10 years ago
Obscure DOC in Italy but a bargain!! Complex nose, not sharp, fantastic balanced made with Montepulciano and Aglianico for Red grappes and a white grappe Trebbiano Toscano. Love italian wines — 11 years ago
Such a nice typical Godello from Rafael Palacio! Wonderful expression of this native grappe crafted by a good enologist! — 11 years ago
