Very mineral nose with crushed rocks, a hint of smoke, hay, white flowers, petrol a bit maybe ? The palate is very good : a wide opening with white flowers and white peach, a real grip and texture that lasts and accompanies the acid backbone to the finish with white fruits. Very good but perhaps a tad under the 2015. Less complexity in the structure I guess. Still very good though — 7 years ago

2008 vintage. Smoky, meaty, red and black fruit, integrated tannin, pepper. Dried herbs. Wow, if all new world Syrah tasted like this. This winery is making wine in the Rhone style. — 9 years ago

Linear Hirtzbirger, this is a tight Federspiel that drops a lot of Gruner character in beams of acidity. Notes of hay, sweet lemons, and stone minerality, complex and elegantly tense. #gruner #vacationresearch — 9 years ago

We know it's a tall statement, but we're going for it: Lapierre's Morgon is the benevolent king of happy maker wines. Perfectly juicy sweet-tart red fruit, earth & herbs - it just never fails to put a smile on our face. It's the perfect match for a sunny spring weekend. — 10 years ago

Nice Sauvignon Blanc which is especially good to accompany a menu, but perfectly fine to drink just by itself as well! One of my favorites in the ~10€ range — 10 years ago

Like an Alpine mountain aromatically. So vivid. That Le Feu fatness on the nose there as well. Fresh hay as well. Best Le Feu aromas ever. The palate is 04 Meursault Tillets from Roulot. I shit you not. Stunning and the best wine since 08 Mont Blanc from Belluard for me. — 11 years ago

There’s so much here it’s hard to put in words! Magical is a good descriptor... Notes range from orchard fruit, white flowers, hay, kettle corn, with a striking minerality always coming through. — 7 years ago

Completely mature now. In the nose you'll encounter the typical bouquet of wet wool, hay, warm wax, hyacinth, cashew and melon. On the palate it's very round, ripe and creamy. Strange..., this serving doesn't seem completely dry to me... Last bottle from a 6-pack, all other bottles were driz-a-bone. — 10 years ago

I'm led to believe that this is pretty unfashionable at the moment but I couldn't give less of a shit. A great, pure wine that gives you exactly what you ask for. A light greenish hue; not getting much grapefruit but lots of cider apples and perry pears, with a touch of cat's piss and maybe a hint of freshly cut (lightly damp) hay and fatty cheese rind; plenty of acidity, apt minerality, and a lovely lingering palette-cleansing freshness. Our house pour for fish and chips with mushy peas and my home made tartare sauce. — 10 years ago

2012: herbal, quite mealy, vanilla, thyme, hay, lemon pith. Unctuous, creamy, apricot, and more fresher than most years. Perhaps going into the dreaded dumb phase soon? Stone fruited, melon, rich. Good but the standard Blanc is close in quality! — 10 years ago

Standish "The Standish" Shiraz 2003. 99pts Parker. Holy sh*t. Worth every single point it has been given. Dan Standish is IMO Australia's greatest Shiraz maker. This wine is sweet fruited, with a kaleidoscope of complex blue and black fruits. Seamless in structure. Amazing balance. Extraordinary length. This wine is everything Barossa shiraz can be and more. +++ 97 points. — 11 years ago

These supposedly off years by old great producers are simply gems... Extreme front to back balance, sun drenched hay, touch of dry peach, apricot pits, crushed pebbles, shells, bits of honeysuckle, and a soft acid backbone that lingers and touches your spine. Better than most grand cru's I have had in famous vintages. Speaks more to development than popular knowledge/science which is never meets great expectations in wine. Try it to love and live it ! — 12 years ago

A great Syrah from an Oregon Winery, but the grapes come from California. Made by the previous assistant wine maker of Sine Qua Non.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, vanilla, licorice, wood, chocolates, coffee and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

Needs an hour to open up properly and show some tannins.

Well balanced and complex with a great mouthfeel. Delicious and yummy.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

Sample from #CapeClassics.
Deep ruby red with high intensity. Nose was slightly dirty to start with a little barnyard or wet hay funk (good South African funk, don't be scared). This aired out to some classic chalkiness with tobacco, light bell peppers and a little charred note at the end. Moderate tannins (7/10) with a medium plus body. This was very tight and softer than expected when we opened it, but started to sing after a few hours in the glass. Very well integrated, no sharp or harsh edges. Layered palate with some red cherries and savory notes on the front end. With the air time came a few more notes of black berries and raspberries, some dried berries too. Also seemed to have a few rustic characteristics. Beautiful wine with a dry and lingering finish. Definitely one of the great wines out of South Africa. Give it some good air time and let it get to just below room temperature before enjoying. Drink till 2028. — 9 years ago

Excellent complexity. Roast Sumatra coffee texture and literally its scent. 2hour decanting is necessary to bring out the most of its dormant complexity. The only thing that bothers me is its geographical identity. If blindly tasted, I would undoubtedly say this is typical Margaux grand cru classe. The wine maker really has a lot to do with Margaux and Saint julien. Anyway, it's a great wine. — 10 years ago
