In Sheep's Clothing

Brockenchack

Hare Hunter Pinot Noir Single Vineyard Eden Valley Barossa 2018

Big bruising style of pinot. Dark cherry, plum, and earthy notes on the nose. Palate is med/full bodied with power and weight. A cab shiraz in pinot clothing. Very good though. — 6 years ago

Antika Podfuck Pinot Gris

Looks, probably made like a natural wine. Slightly cloudy, crazy light red -- until you hear the story of how it's made. Skin contact pinot gris. Sheep in wolf's clothing. Smol funk, teasings of aromatic whites here and there, interesting tannins. Breathing brings out a little more savourinezs — 8 years ago

BFAM. 👊 Get out of my cellar.

Benjamin Leroux

Auxey-Duresses Chardonnay 2013

Past reviews are spot on. This is a 1er cru mersault in AD clothing. Nose that is simultaneously brown butter and hazelnuts while at the same time having intense liquid rock minerality. Fruit very much in the back on the nose. On the palate more fruit - lemon with lemon pith - but dominated by mersault-like nuttiness. Great texture. Ends with a drying, pithy note that portends a more Impressive wine to come — 9 years ago

9.1

This was drinking great. Vibrant purple color, even at 10 years of age. Smoky and stony, with both a Syrah like aromas and a structure more like Gamay. It perfectly pins the expected aromas of a "mountain" wine with hints of wild herbs in the finish. Should be spectacular with an aged sheep's milk cheese like Ossau Iraty. — 9 years ago

9.1

The nose flexes it's minerality muscles right away, while also bringing white cherry, white peach, unripe strawberries still on the vine, and white pepper. Doesn't quite prepare you for the unruly palate. A spice bomb, layered with white/unripe fruits and M+ finish of acidity. A wolf in sheeps clothing. — 10 years ago

9.2

Red cherries, mature red fruits and notes of barnyard hay and earth that dissipated over a day in Eto. Interesting opening indeed. Lithe and balanced, lively texture leading to a long good finish. Yum. 24 GL back in 2011, Prince in Pauper’s clothing indeed. Interesting back story of limestone quarry precluding proper AOC of these lands. — 6 years ago

Viñas Viejas Rioja Tempranillo 2014

So I get it... you saw the 92 point score from Parker and splurged on this for $10 and then when your wife complained that it wasn't The Prisoner you wrote a scathing review (on vivino) about this thin, weak, and 'earthy,' wine with 'too much acidity.'

This is a Rioja in Barbaresco's clothing. Rose petal and tar dominate, with lots of juicy cherry, and a sandstone backdrop. A flutter of garden herbs creeps in over time. This is an excellent value for those who know what they're buying.

Riesling in Chenin Clothing. Roasted nuts, almonds, some wooly fresh hay, spices, yellow fruits. Very complex. Palate is complex and super zippy. Insanely concentrated and powerful. Very pure and over 2 days still very structured. Very clean. Excellent. — 9 years ago

This is a baby but what a freaking baby it is! Maryland Monroe in sheep’s clothing?? It took at least an hour and a half to develop and sneak up on you but once it did you better check yourself before you wreck yourself. It was amazing! I had a 1990 version of this a few weeks ago and can only imagine what this will develop into. Thank you Jason for turning me onto this blockbuster wine! Love you brother!@Jason Chang — 8 years ago

Les Herses Silex Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc

This wine is perfect when you are looking for a Sauvignon Blanc with more muted pyrazines. The flavor profile skews heavily towards mineral, stony, and dusty notes, rather than vegetal or fruity flavors. Think Muscadet in Sancerre clothing! — 10 years ago
