Gorgeous white burgundy that went superbly well with the cauliflower purée with scallops and grilled shrimp. — 9 years ago

The lighter side of Aglianico, which I think is much underrated. Fresh, bright fruits, tannins still firm. Dusty, balsamic fruit character. Definitely natty - there's an bit of acetic acid character that sours the wine a bit. — 9 years ago

Delectable won't find it. But this is their low sulfur pinot. Such an intriguing abundance of aromas here, some even reminiscent of Barolo. There is such a strong scent that reminds me of polished wood at furniture shops. Crushed rose petals, pomegranate juice, cranberry, musk lifesavers, smoke, almond, orange peel, plasticine, leather, raspberry sours and fresh cherry. Palate is bright, juicy and full of life. It drinks in a bright red-fruited manner with the feintest of a tug from the tannin. Juicy acidity to this helps carry through the mid palate and there's quite a long finish additionally — 9 years ago

Wine collaboration! Half the grapes come from the one dude Escoda and the other half from Serres. 260 mags only. A little oxidised edge in a nice way, balanced sours, really fun. — 9 years ago

A strong, complex sour. Some sours tend to dull by the last few sips, this one packs a punch until the end. Super fine bubbles contribute to an almost creamy mouth feel. A real treat. — 10 years ago

Been getting busy with sours/Bretts as of late and I have to say that this is the most impressive I have had thus far.. Tart but not too, simplistic and bares an edge of decisiveness. The barrel age is on point! — 11 years ago

Very upfront sours initially, gave way to something a little more stone fruity but this is a real punch in the chops no doubt. If it catches you in the right mood it could be a winner. — 9 years ago

Not THAT Occhipinti, which made me think something was very wrong with this to start with, but once it was pointed out that this was something different I began to make friends with the new situation. Very forward, tight sours, but evolves and softens in the glass. — 9 years ago

Reminded us of a number of sours we've had of late. Consecration?Funky or bretty/yeasty and herbaceous. Much lighter than we thought it would be. Interesting — 10 years ago

The Bruery makes their sours more sour than just about anyone, but the bitter kumquat is a great contrast. 2013 vintage. — 10 years ago

Consistently one of the best sours. Amazing complexity from a toasty maltiness, fresh baked bread, apples, honey, lemon, it just keeps going. Chardonnay barrels really shine on this one. I almost feel like I can taste the malolactic fermentation from the Chardonnay! — 9 years ago

DeRat is an amazing bar in Utrecht. Vast selection of sours. This one is quite peculiar. Get strawberry and burnt wood on the nose, then it hits you with powerful sourness that burns in the aftertaste, and finished with an interesting oak+butter taste. The guy pouring it separated the sediment, which surprisingly smells like char coal. Too many compounds here. — 9 years ago

Next to Cantillion the king of sours for me. Something reminiscent of Roulot with reductive sulphur compounds, but cross-bred with god's Arnold Palmer. Majestic in the weird, dirty way only sours can be. — 9 years ago

Perfect warm up bottle before champagne. Palette prep is on point here turning on all the bitters, sours, sweets, and textures. This is my third round for this bottle and I am sure there will be many more if I have anything to say about it. This is the perfect drink for any moment all aspects considered in my opinion...if you haven't tried it I can't recommend it more highly. — 10 years ago

This wine is really showing nicely opening up as the night goes on with a good amount of cigar box spice black earth 3/4 red mountain fruit but it changes every year both have red willow merlot far western Yakima I'm he foothills the sours are the omers and they built a chapel on the hill and buried a bottle of hermitage there in honor of the oldest Syrah vineyard in Washington — 11 years ago

Quite an amazing Rosé. The fullness of the palate is an instant surprise. Fruit driven and very well balanced. For someone who can either "take it or leave it" when it comes to Rosé, this is an exceptional wine!! — 12 years ago
