Kröver Letterlay Spätlese Halbtrocken Ruwer Riesling 1996

This Riesling is so complete: intense and fresh aromas ranging from lemon, lime, and peach to papaya, mango, passion fruit, and pineapple, plus savoriness like roasted mushrooms and lime leaf, just enough sugar to balance the high but integrated acidity, and a texture that's rich but refreshing. Clear and transparent, this is one of my favorite-ever Rieslings. Plus: the color would never suggest this wine is 20 years old! Thanks, @Lyle Fass. — 10 years ago

Liaison Pinot Noir 2012

2012 - HT to @Lyle Fass for bringing these in. So light in color it was almost a rose. Pine needles and resin on the nose. Nice medium plus body. Delicious and unique! — 11 years ago

Agreed. Murat really stepped up in 11 and then 12.

Koepfle Pinot Noir 2011

12.5% alc. Bottle no. 341/600.

This was intended to be shared with my tasting group (all Burg freaks) in Copenhagen in 6 weeks but let's just say that something happened today and they'll now be missing out.
If you still haven't seen or tasted the greatness of German Pinot's please DO NOT start with this (😜) because there's not much to share and I have enough troubles sourcing some of the precious few bottles that makes it to US.

A great wine!!!

Great zin... Fruitier than Zichichi, another fave...

Drank it with chargrilled garlic-lemon chicken and basil asparagus - nice complimentary and balanced zin for lighter fare.

En Croisette Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2013

I think Tarragon Stunning. The Bourgogne of this producer was OK but this is awesome! If you like Burgundy Lyle Fass the importer/seller is the only gig in the states were one can still score at decent prices. Lyle praises his wines highly - on this one he is spot on! Dark for a pinot licorice on the nose, licorice and blackberry and some black cherry on the palate. — 10 years ago

Here I am! Terrific note. I still don't have my wines yet. This will be one of the first I pop. Love his style.

Domaine Julien Cruchandeau

Les Ranches Ladoix Pinot Noir 2012

Awesome, loved this the most of all the @Lyle Fass wines this evening to drink now. A new region and producer for me I am going to seek this one out. Fleshy red fruits with spikes of savory and spice notes in the wine. A pure expression of Pinot Noir, the nose and palate were layered and persistent with a fleshy, medium grain ripe and silky tannic finish. Drink now with an hour, 2 is better of air. Will go this distance 12-15 years easy, maybe 20. Loved this! — 11 years ago
