Niederhäuser Hermannshöhle Spätlese Riesling 2002

Hands down the best site in Nahe. Sandstone, volcanic debris and then slate. Crystalline. Resonant. Helmut and Cornelius form the dream team. — 9 years ago

Christ... Is there a more compelling Italian white wine available in the US? Probably in New York. But western North Carolina? It's like high quality Savenniéres without the bruised apple aroma and solute-heavy urine color. — 9 years ago

Imperial Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2010

The day the world realises what amazing value lies in Rioja will be a sad day for my wallet. What promises to be a classic vintage from one of THE classic Alta producers for $30? You don't get that anywhere else. Deliciously aromatic. Dried flowers and dried orange peel in a spice cupboard which is exactly where they belong. Surprisingly approachable for a young Reserva with such stuffing - fine tannins and great acidity in perfect balance with bitter cherry compote and dark chocolate on the finish. So good with the lasagne we paired it with. I ate so much bloody lasagne. I just didn't want it to end. This wine is ready to go right now but I will be buying a case and attempting to hold it until the ruby turns brick-orange and all the secondary complexities of this classic bottling come to fruition. Christ, I'm full! — 9 years ago

Marques Del Romeral

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1964

Lovely mid-level Rioja from one of the truly legendary vintages of the 1900s. After a while this really opened up but Christ it took a good while - basically a day of slow ox and an hour and a bit in the glass. Black cherry and farm soil on the nose with great acidity and balance, thought perhaps a little short. Still, a seriously solid wine. Could probably leave it in the glass for another week and it would still be fine... — 8 years ago

Giuseppe Quintarelli

Alzero Veneto Cabernet 2006

Christ. Someone's feeling generous tonight. Happy to get a tipple. At 10 years. It's still too young. Shows all the the range of Cab Franc flavors and aromas. Kinda crazy. Big, yet lithe and elegant. Tannic, but velvety smooth. Hard to wrap your head around this on one glass. — 9 years ago

Jesus Christ, this was good. It was almost old-vintage port-like, without the sweetness. So expressive, concentrated, wild, unrestrained. Glorious. — 9 years ago

Ellergrub is also very tasty, not to say that it doesn't have a few more years in it
