A German resiling - do they ever not impress? The Rudolf Trossen Schieferblume Riesling is a pale yellow green colour. The nose is crisp with sharp lime and lemon but also aromatic with hints of lavender once at at room temperature. White fleshed peach on the palate - sweeter than I'd been told. Delightful! — 10 years ago
Wonderful Reisling and normally not even a fan — 10 years ago
My 4th bottle, the best and my last, this absolutely killed it and is why I love Napa Valley Cabernet, especially #Spottswoode. 12 years old this easily has another 10 to go but is in a beautiful place right now. Open or decant for 30 minutes, though I did not decant. A deep resold color, not a sign of brick as one would expect. Shows the importance of provenance (bought from winery). A complex set or aromas and flavors of creme d'cassis, currants, sweet and sour cherries, sweet cedar, and graphite. Palate wise the textures are all in alignment, with medium to full body, ample acidity and medium grain slightly chewy tannins that may be it's only flaw. #2002 — 11 years ago

This may be the smoothest Hermitage I've had @ £83 it's like a pig rolling in velvet 🐷 so smooooth 😍 Great now but 97+ over next 5-20yrs 😎
🍷 Ruby w/ purple hue
👃 Cloves, Olives, thyme & piggy 💩 through blackberry w/ touch of liquorice & minerals
👄 Med+ body incredibly super smooth olive tapenade, blackberry & dark cherry - surprisingly well balanced @ this age 👍

What a nose. Deep berry fruit and very bright. Great whip of acidity. Transparent as fuck. — 10 years ago
I've had many vintages of Calon-Segur; this may be the oldest. The cork was perfect even with nearly 20 years of bottle aging. It took about an hour for the glass to open. Typical of Grand Cru Bordeaux, the bouquet was pleasant and graceful. A great value for under $130. Cheers!! — 11 years ago
