Lovely zippy minerality, apricots, lychee, kiwi skin, Young and easily drinkable right now. Lapping riverstone for a long time after the gulp. Paired with VA "Cannon Cove" oysters. — 9 years ago
Paired well with lemon-pepper chicken over linguine. Good counterpoint to the lemon. — 9 years ago

This fine thing pulls me in as I breath her earthen essence faintly fragrantly post-rain flowerlike wet, dripping a whiff of some distant weed working its way around the corner as a horn player lays out a rhythm to which we dance turning, twisting, eyeing discriminately she shows her plum-to-burgundy rim, then goes deeper, as she lightly touched my lips showing red fruit unctuously lava-like clinging leaving a ripe plum-like memory touched by cassis long and lasting begging for more - so we continue...amazing locally-farmed, open-water oysters... — 9 years ago

Never had or heard of this producer hit a very fine Spatlese. Very light in colour and a subtle aroma of petrol but a fantastically balanced sweet, acidic and soft wine. Lovely - must find more as was well priced also — 7 years ago
I am new to vodka.
The wifey is Ukrainian 🇺🇦 & Polish 🇵🇱 so it's in her veins. But until late I always stuck with the brown stuff.
I have to say Grey Goose is the champ over Tito's. Not in a Pacquiao vs Horn way (it was close but Pacman won) 🥊 .
Perhaps it's the wheat vs corn but I don't think I can go back. The goose prevails 🦆!!

Wow nice wine. Very beautiful & bright dark ruby color with very nice aromas of red fruits, berries, cedar wood, and cigarette on the nose. Full-bodied and followed by full flavor of ripe plum, fresh raspberry, caramel, and spicy almond on the palate. Elegant texture, firm & smooth tannins, and reasonable & soft length at the end. Dry & a bit of complexity; like it and want to taste the real Duck Horn next time. — 9 years ago
Quite convincing, for a start quality superb! — 9 years ago
Pinot near perfection, well balanced, long finish, great!!! — 9 years ago
2013 vintage. At a sunny Cap Horn, Courchevel. Pale lemon green hue. Creamy apple sauce. Honeysuckle and lemon citrus. Youthful. On the palate, very balanced. High acidity, good concentration of flavour and persistent finish. Well made Chablis. Drink 2020-2030. — 9 years ago
Also, wer wissen will warum man auch in Deutschland Spätburgunder trinken kann, der kann sich immer problemlos an Kuhn wenden. Kuhns Qualitätsstreben und Konstanz sind verblüffend. Dieser 2007er war sensationell, tolle Länge und Saftigkeit, vielleicht ein Tick zu schwer, etwas mehr Eleganz täte gut. Aber es muss ja immer noch etwas zu verbessern geben. Auf die nächsten Flaschen freuen wir uns schon!

Saturday night...time for steak and claret as my buddy Gary Westby says. In this scenario, I envisioned the wine being equal or even better than my steak. Not to toot my horn but most everyone that's had my steak simply says meaningfully that it is the best they've had. Myself, I've only had one better the Ribcap at Bourbon Steak in SF; which sadly closed as the hotel took back the space they were in. Hopefully, soon to reopen again elsewhere in SF. However, back to the Pichon Baron. I can't say I loved it. I wanted to love it as it is one of my favorite properties in Pauillac. The wine isn't bad but it just never shined. Maybe, it's just not a good moment in it's evolution to open. It's soft, elegant but missing the beauty, flavors and complexity I've come to expect. The fruits are dry blackberry, dark cherries, black raspberries, a touch of juicy strawberries and black plum skin. Dark dry powdery minerals, saddlewood, lead pencil savings, underbrush, dry dark earth, dry pebbles. There is not much on the mid palate, it finishes a little flat and the fruits never really shined. Surprising for such a warm vintage. Hoping it improves over the years as I've got 5 more. Unusual that the wine really needed the steak more than the steak needed the wine. — 9 years ago

Rich ripe boysenberry, violet and peppercorn medley. Soft tannins for a young Petite Sirah. It’s tasty. I’ll have another glass. 🍷 — 7 years ago
