Hazelnuts, petrol, lemon zest, and a bit of chalk. Some salinity. Very much like a fino sherry. — 6 years ago
Cannot day enough good things about this well balanced South African Chardonnay. One of my new faves. Definitely some ML and warm fruit which gives it a full soft body but nice balance of acid for a crisp apple finish. — 7 years ago

Love this Riesling. It's dry, but the fruit character just bursts out of the glass. Refreshing and complex, with plenty of mineral and brioche-like aromas and an everlong finish. — 8 years ago
Tasty Malbec! Smooth taste with just a hint of acidity. Smoky, berry flavors. — 6 years ago
Tiny hint of reduction but beyond that it is super floral and with loads of cherry fruit. Iron, very mineral. Elemental stuff. Dusty and very very refined. Hit of licorice. Really alluring nose. Just stunning. These wines give nothing in their youth and then the blossom. Stunningly fresh and vibrant with still some tannic grip but wonderful balance and depth. Saps your palate and tales of over. This is truly on its way to being great. It’s long and saline and has floral echoes on the finish. Profound. But with age, 3-6 more years, this will be lights out. — 6 years ago
Interesting Czech wine. Great surprise and good for discussion. Very light, almost like a white wine. Fruity. Hint of sweetness, low/no tanin — 8 years ago
Unbelievably underrated vino! — 8 years ago
This wine may be on the decline. The fruit has gone decidedly raisiny. But the acidity still shines and the wine remains delicious. — 6 years ago
Crisp apple with strawberry-rhubarb dust. — 7 years ago
Owned by Richard Frank and Koerner Rombauer. Straw with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus & vanilla scents. On the palate complex flavors of crisp apple, melon & lemon, balanced with good acidity & great mouthfeel. Lingering finish ending with toasty mineral spice. Nice, opened 6 months after lates tasting and flavors were enhanced. Great Chard. — 8 years ago
2010 vintage. Very fresh and youthful. Raspberry, red plum, dried cherry, dried cranberry, tea leaves, stale tobacco, autumn leaves, dried violets, tree bark, wet straw. Good complexity, still fresh, lengthy finish. — 8 years ago
Amazing. Smooth. Dry. Great dor hot weather — 8 years ago
1995 vintage P2. At Dom Perignon with Richard and Jay. Medium lemon hue. Amazing nose - deep concentration of toast, hazelnut, brioche, lemon curd, with some mild smokiness. Reductive. On the palate, medium plus body, fresh high acidity - tense and vivacious. Reductiveness is very attractive. Long and compelling while still remarkably fresh. Drink now until 2036. — 9 years ago
