Wine #5 of a Chefs tasting. Classic Brut to finish the night. Very little acidity and bone dry. Loaded with pear and apple. Chef paired this with a lemon basil cake. — 8 years ago

Pale straw. Fruity nose but absolutely bone dry as advertised. Acidity is mild with some lingering astringency. The short finish showcases citrus flavors and some chalk. Nicely balanced. Very good with food. A little flat as a sipping wine, it really shines with food, enhancing the subtle flavors of the Chinese Five Spice powder in my meal tonight. — 9 years ago

Asked for a bone dry Riesling and this one delivered. Pleasant acidity, clean finish.

Serve this one to friends who will appreciate it. It's not your aunt's sweet Riesling. — 9 years ago

Opened 2+ hours in a decanter. Sweet leather, tobacco. Cherry skin, ripe black cherry, rustic orange peel. Brown and orange secondary colors mesh perfectly with the settled red center. Great age. Medium bodied. Lovely elegance. Applewood smoked bacon. Acidity has relaxed over time. Drinking really well. — 8 years ago

Brooks sells a tee shirt that reads, "If you don't like Riesling, you're a fucking idiot."

I'm on board. Honey and a floral white peachy nose with petrol. Then the palate is nothing like the nose. Bone dry, bracingly acidic. Low fruit character but a pineapple thing happening late in the finish. Minerality for days. Gonna have to buy some more and lay it down. — 9 years ago

Loaded with nuts and saline additions, aged caramel and fatty Iberico pork. Smoke and coffee add complexity on the bone dry finish. Note to self for the 1000th time; drink more Sherry. — 9 years ago

2013 vintage. Very impressive. Yellow apple but barely a hint of oxidation. Bone dry. Beautiful, driving malic acid. Great with our hamachi and fluke starters. Thankfully Absinthe in SF serves this, too. — 11 years ago

Much more accessible and fruity than the '14 hunnicutt 935. The hunnicutt will improve over time but this is drinking well right now (but still will benefit with a few years) . the bone ash is more of your opulent cab compared to this. 96-97. — 8 years ago

Second day in Napa. Again at Zuzu, one of my favorite restaurants in downtown Napa. Fresh from Heitz Cellar. Very closed nose at the beginning, but after one hour, it totally blossoms. Restrained ripe black fruits, suis bois, sweet cinnamon, black pepper, hint of shiitake mushrooms and tons of herbs. Wonderful structure, medium body, still very very young. Partly resolved tannin, bone dry. This is so balanced and it is a killer for old world wine lovers like me. 14.5% alc. 2005 vintage — 8 years ago

Baked apples, honeysuckle, peanut shells, pomelo, limestone, sourdough. Excellent rounded acidity, minimal compact small bubbles, light bodied, crisp-bone dry mineral finish. Fine Pétillant character with more aromatics than most pet-nats. — 9 years ago
