1994 Screaming Eagle. Dinner w J&L B and D&M H while staying with D&M in Santa Ynez. Opened and waited about an hour. Decanted right before serving. Tons of jammy dark fruit. Opened more in the glass. JB mentioned full palate and balance. Great finish. Preferred this to ‘91 Dominus once this opened up. — 6 years ago

Although this was classified as ‘halbtrocken’ / off dry, there wasn’t really much sweetness. Light, fresh, enjoyable ! — 6 years ago

Wallufer Oberberg Auslese Riesling 1995

Deep in colour and looks like a big Auslese. Same as the 1990 but just a shade of mouthful sweetness. It’s still a pretty dry wine but hits the spot. — 8 years ago

Wallufer Berg Bildstock Kabinett Riesling 2008

This changed a few times over the course of 90 minutes. Eventually resulting in a very delicately perfumed wine with lime, white flowers, nectarine, and petrol. Medium acidity. Lighter texture on the palate. Great value, $65 on list — 8 years ago

Wallufer Berg Bildstock Spätlese trocken Riesling 1990

Pretty serious wine, the prettiness almost overshadowed by a ramrod-straight backbone of acidity. Probably meat-friendly with the right preparation? — 9 years ago
