New arrival in the shop but had to take a bottle home. Coravin the first night, it was closed and a little bitter on the finish. Pulled the cork the next night and it was a different wine. Tart fruit and great minerality, 14 ABV but didn’t drink hot. No RS. Gong to let the other bottles sit for a while. — 3 years ago

Cherry & baking spice. A little short on the finish, but a great deal at $20. Was absolutely singing with miso-glazed pork chops. — 6 years ago

Boogie dark in the glass. Dark berry fruit parade. Licorice, lead pencil, graphite, flinty, crushed rock. Maybe a touch of seared meats. Monster huge, concentrated, layered but perfectly balanced. This wine has a sweet tannin that just seduces me. Suggest a 2 hour decant. My last 05. Please send more @Justin Smith — 10 years ago

Color of beautiful purple with some ruby color in it, nice legs. Nose is nice with sweet dried strawberry ice cream, ripe berries, aldehyde, some refined spice, some fermented cabbage, strength of alcohol, and Coca-Cola. Taste is smooth and follows the nose, no tannins and a bit zesty, sweet berries with black pepper. Aftertaste shows some more Coca-Cola taste and clean. Light yet refreshing and decent flavors. — 3 years ago

Very aromatic Riesling from Alsace. Melon, white flowers, orange peel, even hint of ginger on those nose. Beautiful deep yellow, almost gold color. Mouth watering acidity with a persistent finish — 6 years ago

Textbook flavors. Generous with slightly less acid than I'd like, but its saying so many things on the nose. A bit of phenolic bitterness but just in balance. — 10 years ago

The 2007 Booker needed about 45 minutes in decanter to really soar. Then BBQ meats and dark berry were present. I think decanting at home would have been best. After two hours it was very sexy. Nice work @Justin Smith — 10 years ago
