Gorgeous, redolent with wild red berry and cherry fruit, blood orange, licorice, anise, mint, crushed rock, smoke. Acidity is so alive and vibrant and drive the wine. Tannins are charmingly granular yet fine, persistent and have a soulful feel to them. Day 2 more dark almost hinting at blue/black fruit emerged, riper and heady. Juniper and forest notes really coming to the forefront. The freshness and depth that is emerging is insane. — 3 years ago

Redolent of ripe melon, honey, apricot, on the nose and the palate. Buy this wine! — 6 years ago

Old world style from California central coast. The nose is redolent of Luxardo cherries and Antica Formula vermouth. On the palate, there is a battle between fruit and earth; deep, earthy forest flavors are offset by bright, tart spring cherries. Coastal botanicals play against wild fruit. Better than expected. — 8 years ago

Elegant and polished but still soulful. Black cherries, wildflowers and a cool minerality, redolent of steep mountainsides and old vines — 8 years ago

2009 is singing! Rich, honeyed and full in the mouth, but still very fresh with plenty of lift and cut. The texture is much like a Meursault of the same age. Redolent of citrus and white peach with a nice mineral tang. — 8 years ago

The nose is redolent of peach blossoms and mountain honey followed by ripe peach and more honey on the palate. The pleasing viscosity and sensual mouthfeel are bolstered by bright acidity. — 8 years ago

This sneakily 100% Garganega is redolent in fresh citrus and stone fruit aromas and flavors, with a noteworthy flinty undertones and terrific balance. It will match well with vegetable appetizers and most fish dishes. (ID) — 7 years ago

My wife and I have no idea how this came into our cellar, or anything about Long Vineyards really. But man, this is a beautiful Napa Cabernet, very much in the style of @Cathy Corison and White Rock Vineyards. The 22 months in new French has completely integrated after 14 years, and now it is redolent (first time using that word) with cassis, black olive tapenade, dried herbs, and fine, dusty tannins.

When we grill steaks, this is the type of old-school California we really dig. — 8 years ago

Waxy, redolent of the mountain herbs this Erbaluce is named after, grown in the northern reaches of Asti. A rara avis who is only known to the Piemonte since 1606, I called it "herbs of light" wine & dare anyone to contradict me! — 8 years ago

Glorious redolent of green pepper it scratched an itch for cab franc I didn't even know I had at the time. — 8 years ago

The colour especially the deep saturation is amazing for a 15yo wine... A Pinot from Australia for that matter! Initial sniffs are redolent of dark prunes then fresh stem which is quite pleasant. The sweet and tart juxtaposes for your attention as the acid line is as undecided as you are. — 9 years ago

What an amazing sherry...the kind that says, "I should drink more sherry in life." Thin and yet redolent of the oxidized sweet caramel notes, this is a perfect cheese complement. — 7 years ago

9.2

A thoughtful rather powerful Pinot Noir Rosé (20% Trollinger, too), pale orange in color, redolent of grapefruit skin & yellow rose on the nose, with some heft, as I've got 2014 here in August '16, emerging in the weight. Not a frisky rosé, reflecting Schnaitmann's serious & head-turning Württemberg Pinot Noirs. — 8 years ago

Anniversary Jacuzzi suite bubbles 😎 this was in a really great place and was really singing; I could smell it intensely just from pouring it. Rich and redolent of bruised yellow apple as well as caramelized apple, lovely fresh brioche, starting to show a bit of pleasant oxidative nutty character reminiscent of glazed pecans, a bit of baking spice, English toffee, and chalk dust. Almost like a nutty, toffee apple pie or something, Just really delicious. Acid is still nervy and provides a strong backbone but has had a bit of time to integrate in the mix with all the other elements and is in great balance right now; not punishing like some younger blanc de blancs can be. Fine bead provides a rich, creamy mouthfeel that's just delightful. First Grand Cru Champagne and it lived up to expectations. Serious value as well when it comes down to it, I paid like 55 bucks for this thing. That's pretty impressive for a vintage Le Mesnil Grand Cru, I'd say! — 8 years ago

There is champagne and their is Champagne. This all chard beauty is redolent of lemons, celery, pear and brioche all in a shimmering shist oceanic pale golden Elixir. You can't drink this and chatter away. It stops you in your tracks and says pay attention. — 8 years ago
