7 December 2018. The Four Horsemen, Brooklyn, NY. — 5 years ago
A cold, rainy day in the Berkshires today, several degrees cooler and we'd be getting snow instead. I'm not ready, still yardwork to get done this season!
A head-to-head matchup today, '15 vs. '16 E&M 'Müller' Müller-Thurgau. This '15 is our last bottle, so this is the final evolution check. 😕
No evidence of dissolved gas (CO2 or N2) in this bottle like the '16 showed, but it got a decant anyways. Gold-yellow in color, distinctly different from the '16 today.
Nose has smoked honey, almonds, tropical fruit skins, extra ripe mango and light aroma of crushed minerals.
Palate has gotten crazy complex, honey, stone fruits, pineapple core, tangerine, lemon pith and mashed tropical fruit. Evolving more with each sip, finish is picking up a nice apricot note.
Wow what a difference the extra year makes. Likely we're hiding the remainder of our '16 away for maybe a year or two, hopeful on a similar evolution. — 6 years ago

Flinty but fresh and lightly sweet. Perfect with grilled fish and spicy salsa. — 10 years ago
17/20 (92/100) Насыщенный, приятный аромат спелых яблок, персиков, мёда и цветов клевера. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и продолжительным послевкусием. Намного превосходит ожидания от мюллер-тургау. — 4 years ago

Incredible experience. This lightly sparkling Pinot/ Blauer Portugieser is a revelation. Being German, I didn't even know something like this exists. Mind blowing. — 7 years ago
Very good, definitely ready to drink showing increased viscosity and concentration — 8 years ago
20 February 2016. Rieslingfeier Gränd Tasting, Back Label Wine Merchants, New York, NY. — 8 years ago
2012 vintage. Great stuff! A little sweeter than the Dr, recommends (Dr. Loosen that is)... But it's great with some sweet candy peach, even a little smoke, and a long finish. Only 9% alcohol so hangover free! — 10 years ago

An unsuspectingly forward Riesling with a watery pale hay color and shy aromas of orchard fruits, bitter apple seed, and slate. The flavors take a sharp u-turn - fully expressive with off dry but not honeyed notes of red apple and roasted lemon. It finishes cleanly with slate and wet rocks. Really excellent. — 6 years ago
I like the stems in this but don't know if others would. It's got Sass indeed. Kermit tasting. — 7 years ago
Pretty, peachy deliciousness. — 8 years ago
Good white blend with clean tones Gevurtz & Mueller. Pinot Gris smooths it. — 8 years ago
Exotic and fleshy fruits like guava, pineapple, and papaya with more acidity than 2011. — 9 years ago
A fine example of what this fairly obscure, under-the-radar, consistently good producer can do. — 10 years ago
Pretty rose Pinot noir from Sancerre — 10 years ago
