Paul Costigan
9.2

1995: The "Oh well, why not" consolation prize wine, opened to keep the conversation going. Classic La Mission nose, very supple and approachable on the palate. Vaporized a bit quickly on the finish, yet wrapped up the evening nicely with a little breeding. — 10 years ago

Teusner

The Riebke Barossa Valley Shiraz 2013

Surprisingly smooth...hardly any pepper and spice like other full bodied Barossa. If anything this wine reminded me of Mclaren Vale. The fruit flavor is typically black and blue...like a prize fighter after twelve rounds. — 11 years ago

Katherine Bordelon
9.2

This H&M Hoffer Gruner Veltliner hit the mark yesterday as I moved through tastings of a Sancerre, Sav Blanc and Alsatian Pinot Blanc. The Gruner Veltliner took the prize! Beautiful, bright acidity with a smooth finish. Day bright, clear color and medium plus viscosity. Underripe fruit, lemon grass, dry and so refreshing! In my quest for dry, white wines of the world, this one has moved high up on my list! — 9 years ago

Edmond Duclaux

La Germine Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2009

The bouquet sets this all up with notes that announce your about to enjoy a real prize. Almost like a ghost - at first, it's feet never touch the ground (your tongue) but before you know it it's gone - leaving a delicate wake of mature red fruit and a great finish behind. Brilliant! — 9 years ago

Moncaro

Monte Scuro Riserva Red Blend 2012

Going back to a wine I've already tasted, I found out it has the potential for a longer aging. Actually, in one or even better two years it could become an excellent wine.
Moncaro is no stranger to prize-winning products, and this one could set a standard for its territory.
