With a head somewhere between cappuccino and fine rosé champagne both in color and bubble. And a dark Amber body bordering on red, this powerful Sphinx tempts you near its maw. A mallard appears in my glass in the foam voids. There is a sweet cinnamon and cherry candy present, but also a marinated mushroom quality to the nose. You sense the granite jaw, and await the iron fist. But the gloves come off, and this model is lithe after a spin around the sun, exhibiting honey and tea, leather touches, finesse and power seamlessly mesh with a vanilla bean and sweet tobacco, cinnamon and toast component. Your tongue has a new friend! #northcoastbrewing #oldstock #agedbeer — 10 years ago

One of the best #Austrian #Rieslings I have ever tried. But hey...it is only day 1 of the trip! :-) To me, this wine is like a bridge between Alsatian and Model Rieslings. Crisp, dry, juicy fruits with petrol notes. Truly a beautiful wine. — 10 years ago

Like a plus sized model this white is comfortable and confident — 10 years ago

This one is like the model who doesn't need to acknowledge the years that've passed because they've done nothing to her figure. Fantastic structure, finesse, and complexity. The pyrazine action is contained and the fruit aromas are beginning to phase towards the savory spectrum. — 10 years ago

Seamless. It's a model. Nut blonde. Silk. Oh yes. — 11 years ago

This year's model. Relative to 2011 this seems more fruit-dominated. This is not say over-ripe or blowsy. There is plenty of mineral tension and loamy goodness to balance out the wild berry notes and raspberry palate. Served cool with chicken in a mustard tarragon sauce. This is just silly inexpensive-not to mention Bio-and great for a daily red. — 11 years ago

Ohhh, so good. I messed up dinner but this made up for it. I wonder if the dog is annoyed by being my wine model yet? — 10 years ago

What a surprise! Big flavors with a finish that lasts forever. Great with home made pizza! Sangiovese role model! — 10 years ago

Wow. This is absolutely singing for a 12yo red. The very model of terroir. Great palate, everything in the right spot. Kudos. — 11 years ago
