Liquid perfection and shockingly drinkable straight out of the bottle. Didn’t need to decant — 4 years ago

The 2nd WNH Zoom tasting on 3/29 with a “open any white” theme. The On The Lam is eleven years old and is reminiscent of the Backwards and Forwards at this point in its development. I had a Backwards & Forwards in 2017 that had a ridiculously delicious array of secondary characteristics that were just outstanding in their funky goodness. This bottle reminds me more of that wine at age 10. It has transformed from youthful to mature but displays no adolescent awkwardness. Honeyed melon, marzipan, candied pear and burnt marshmallow envelop a firm backbone of acidity. It’s adding weight but ever so slowly. Right now it’s still lithe and pushy and a changeling in the glass that warrants frequent check ins because a night of drinking will deliver 4 or 5 different wines for your drinking pleasure. — 4 years ago

SQN is “essential.” Developed well over the course of the night. Tremendous depth. Palate-coating blueberry pie, smokehouse, spices. Great bottle now, will be rewarded with year or two of cellaring. — 5 years ago

Dark fruit, tart tannins, complex. I’d buy a case of this vintage and enjoy with a Cohiba from Havana 🇨🇺 — 6 years ago

Voluptuous, the Syrah is blended with some Grenache and vigonier to round it. Keeps on strengthening in waves, almost oily. Super long burn this is a wine to enjoy in super small gulps. Truely amazing. — 5 years ago

As you would expect from Manfred. After a while you just run out of superlatives and just sit there with a Syrah stained smile on your face. Rich dark fruit with beef blood smell (that term doesn’t do justice to how interesting and delicious the combination really is). Tremendous finish, dark color to the edge. Just a great wine experience. My only bottle. I have no clue how long this wine could go before peaking. — 6 years ago
