Pietracupa

Greco di Tufo DOCG Greco Bianco 2016

Nice wine - definitely a step up in complexity from a “normal” white. I would recommend this wine to anyone looking to understand what an ocean-like salinity really tastes like as that sensation is quite intense here. Loads of acid but still balanced. — 6 years ago

Château Haut-Bergey

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

55 CS 45 M

Browning crimson red. Tiring looking, fading in color. Dull and widened rim.

Decent bouquet of mature Bordeaux claret. Dried cassis, blackberry, mushroom, cedar, cured meat, old leather, and damp soil.

Completely resolved. Smooth mouthfeel full of dried red fruit, minerals, graphite. Lingering sensation of cedary oak on the backend.

Great price at less than 20 euro. An elegant wine given the hot year. Pop and pour recommended. 89.

This should not be decanted too much

I agree with @Andrew Cooper it has intense almost chewable flavor and very refreshing and balanced acidity. There's a sensation of #minerality that when #blindtasting could almost lead you to think it's a Riesling from Alsace. 14 alcohol. #jurançon — 9 years ago

So much subtlety going on with this wine. Lots of flavors from great fruit and great minerality. Lots of complexity that is super fun to unpack. Definitely have the sensation of never being able to taste all of the flavors in this. — 7 years ago

Weingut Tesch

Unplugged Kabinett Trocken Riesling 2013

The bright golden color of this Riesling is very intense such as the nose that offers a clean fragrant bouquet. The first smell goes on greedy ripe fruit and hints of fresh butter quickly balanced by floral aromas. The first sensation of the palate is lively and reveals a sharp freshness on delicate green apple and lime. Then it soften to give flavorsome white peach aromas. Very well balanced the finish is smooth and refreshing. For those who like to have a evolving palate, this wine will not let you down. — 8 years ago

Chateau Montelena

The Montelena Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

Loved it at Press in St Helena after Albariño and Pinot Noir. Strong but soft, my happy place when one begins to describe older characteristics in a wine without the wine becoming a dead piece of acid without elegance and all you are left with is a sharp sensation and a longing to have opened the wine 10 years ago. Anyhow- beautiful wine and definitely the time to drink it!! — 9 years ago

The nose made me smile. This wine is floral reminds me of a spring day when all of flowers are in bloom and the sky is filled with wonder. I enjoy Torrentes but this one has to be one of my favorites until I taste another that evokes the same sensation. — 10 years ago

Elevation Sensation Alta Mesa Red Rhone Blend 2008

82% Grenache • 18% Mourvèdre • This wine was aged for 42 months in a combination of 1 year old hogsheads, and 600 and 800 liter demi-muid. The wine was bottled without fining or filtration. It attacks the palate with amazing fruit, complexity, structure and concentration. — 11 years ago

Pauwel Kwak

Handsome caramel brown color. Caramel toffey comes on the nose as well, softly, along with cobs of corn. Beautiful passage through the palate, very orderly and harmonious, with phenomenal complexity, all in a medium to full body. Leatherly sensation on the tongue. Sweet toasty flavor on the long finish. Oily sensation at the end. 93 pts. — 11 years ago

Don Olegario

Rías Baixas Albariño 2015

This Albariño pours up pretty in the glass - yellow-gold and a touch of bubbles. The bubbly sensation doesn't last too long, but it's festive while it’s there. The nose brings some citrus - of course - and a smattering of stone fruit and ripe apples. In the mouth, the magic really begins. The acidity is razor-sharp and a complete delight. The bottle should come with a dozen oysters. Flavors of apples and Meyer lemons grace the palate and you simply don't run out of minerals. There's a lot to like here, and it lasts long beyond the sip. — 9 years ago

Medium garnet sweet nose of strawberries and cream caramel. Drinking incredibly well for a 2009. Makes me think this winery is more of a modern style Barolo. Has racy acidity and good fruit, tannins are pronounced with a tea bag sensation but balanced on the whole. Renews my faith. — 11 years ago
