A German resiling - do they ever not impress? The Rudolf Trossen Schieferblume Riesling is a pale yellow green colour. The nose is crisp with sharp lime and lemon but also aromatic with hints of lavender once at at room temperature. White fleshed peach on the palate - sweeter than I'd been told. Delightful! — 8 years ago

Deep ruby, bilberries and blackcurrants then, on the palate, tannic, oaky notes bob up. Fortunately these dissipated as we enjoyed the wine with our meal.
Made in the seriously hot year, 2003, by very young vignerons who continue to impress!
The, early, Nomacorc used has held up well too. — 9 years ago

One of the best bottles I've had in 2015! Great dark fruit. Great aromatic nose. Super smooth, silky taste. Dry but inviting. Instant love and welcoming. Need to buy more and store to impress. — 9 years ago

Great wine. Perfect balance of fruit, acidity, and alcohol. Lopez de Heredia never fails to impress. — 9 years ago

Delicious. Medium bodied and fragrant. Pepper and hints of coffee only temporarily hide the slightly unripened blackberries and currants on the nose. On the palate it is fruit forward (blackberry and some raspberry) and beautifully balanced. Not too heavy on the tannins. It has a tart/short+ finish that makes you want the next sip. Go buy a case and impress your friends. Highly recommended! — 10 years ago

Holy wow! I don't know if there is such a thing as a "mouthgasm," but I just had it! It has a finish with which you could set the minute hand on your watch! Intense currant with wooly/velvety tannins! I think that they were trying to impress Parker... I'm sure they succeeded. — 11 years ago

I've been a WH Pinot fan for years, and this vintage continues to impress. Bright & lively with lots of berries, rich color, bit of peppery tone, very smooth and food friendly. Price/value tough to beat. — 9 years ago

Whoa...layers and layers, anise, tobacco, wet leather and a hint of mocha with a dry finish back on the tongue. Deep dark red wine that will impress. — 9 years ago

These wines continue to impress. Cherries, bright acid, underlying herbs and savory notes.

In the Portuguese tradition! The soft fruit and subtle cream made for a medium bodied beauty! lemon and orange blossom came through with wonderful acidity and balance. Again, Lodi never fails to impress! — 11 years ago

Now this is a Rioja! Excellent structure, powerful rich dark fruits, elegant texture, superbly integrated tannins and oak wrappings that introduce prodominate sweet tobacco notes and toasty vanilla following, winding down in a gripping finale! $30 for this bottle and it backs up every cent. Definitely would be a bottle to impress a dinner party, all I can say is, Bravo! — 9 years ago

I love the Long Shadow wines first and foremost. But this Syrah from Duval rocks and may out impress the other wines in the group. Big and super luscious. Could definitely stand more time in the cellar. Consumed over 36 hours. — 9 years ago

An alternative yet delicious take on Cabernet from a cooler region of California. The fruit is pure and dynamic, with high toned black berry and red plum notes. The wine lacks the tannins of it's Napa contemporaries but it makes up for that with much better acidity, price and elegance. This is a wine that will impress the wine nerds sick of tasting Cab after Cab after Cab that all taste like oak and juice.  — 9 years ago

This is a full bodied, flavorful wine. Its full of oak and a very smooth finish. This wine would would be great with pizza or a nice steak dinner with family. Highly recommend as it is not terribly priced but yet will impress your guests every time. Love Brennan vineyards! — 9 years ago

It's like a man that comes on strong to try and impress, yet once it hits your lips, his feminine side starts to show and he wins you over with his balance of manhood and sensitivity. — 11 years ago
