Priorat!! One of my favorite regions for sure. This one is delightfully pleasant. Cinnamon and floral notes on the nose. Cherries, strawberries, and even some unexpected blueberries on the palate. Since this bottle isn't oaked to high hell, there's a fresh and rustic taste here. There's somewhat of a sharp edge that I'm really digging too. While just a little baby, this is made for drinking now. — 10 years ago
Mmm so good. On par with the 12. Razor sharp acidity. — 11 years ago
Vibrant citrus fruit flavors without any apparent sweet mouth feel. Razor sharp finish that lasts. It is hard to describe such a dry mouth feel accompanying such strong fruit flavors with the sharp finish. If blinded I might think it was a still Alsace cremant!!??!! I really love this wine. — 11 years ago
Still a bit young. Strong fruit, quite sharp tannins but a very long wine — 13 years ago
Blanc de Blancs, no dose, l'Eclapart. Wine geek trifecta. Nose is a symphony, wet earth, mineral, salty, tree bark? Fascinating aromas. Palate is dry, forceful, yeasty and tangy. Long and intense. Concentrated and intense.
Day 2 Update - Yeasty somewhat broad and mineral nose. Some brioche as well. Nice. Palate is razor sharp with terrific precision and minerality. Really lovey delineation of flavors. Great. Delicate and complex yet forcefully dry. Incredible. — 10 years ago

1982 Lopez de Heredia Rioja. Drank at Red O. Interesting. When we first poured this, we thought it might have been stored incorrectly- funky, sharp nose and super short finish. The wine changed markedly in the following minutes and was phenomenal for the next hour. Ultimately, the wine went flat, but it was super mild and pleasant to drink through dinner. Surprised that there was still a bit of fruit on the nose, pencil shavings, and tons of funky earthy notes. — 11 years ago
Clean, crisp white wine. Lightly sweet, citrus aromas, not too sharp. Perfect for summer, has to be well chilled. — 11 years ago

Great acidity, sharp, tons of stone fruits at first, plenty of grapefruit and blood orange. — 13 years ago
Light yellow straw color, youthful. Razor sharp nose with lemon, pit fruit and river stone notes. Great balance of fruit and acidity in the mouth. Got better with 5 hrs of air. Long finish. No signs of premox, a great showing. — 10 years ago
My first Guiberteau was squeaky clean and shows the pedigree I expected. Lime and stone dominate the nose with a light whiff of honey. The palate is laser sharp, with juicy and fresh acids. #chenin #guiberteau — 11 years ago

10 year lees contact is what really makes this one stand out. Sharp with a classic custard palate filled with notes of overripe apple and toast. — 10 years ago
