Just a sick nose. so so expressive. perfume, herbals, spices, exotic spices but familiar, silky and sweet and so gamey and meaty, so mineral, crazy nose, wow, sweet fruit but it’s barely sweet. a bigger wine than rosen but has the most gorgeous swath and cutting tannin. Wow. Gorgeous. Rich and dense. Unreal velvety tannins. So so long. This needs age but is so so seductive. empty glass is leather and smoke. So so pure. Old library book. Study. Potpourri. As this airs it becomes so much more complete and has such a stunning sllken structure. — 9 days ago

Beautiful purity of expression here. Dark cherries, blackberries, herbs on the nose upfront with floral notes opening up with some time. Lifted acidity throughout that balances the dark blue and black fruit notes in a way that’s so unique. Sick. Will benefit from aging but already a powerhouse - such a burgundian wine. — 2 years ago

Funky on the nose; hits you with subtle notes of gorgonzola or blue cheese, and green tomatoes. Viscous texture, but does not coat your mouth. Flavors of plum, pear, and nectarine. Crisp and acidic on the finish. Awesome wine. — 3 years ago

Sick nose of amazingly vivid cherries, spice., chestnuts, leather and decayed leaves. Bright and harmonious. Palate is juicy with very fine tannins and lively cherry skin fruit on the attack and cherry juice on the finish. Really energetic and terrific ripe and velvety tannins. So pure and sappy. Long finish. Air will make this better but pretty awesome now. — 5 months ago

Tasted blind. My guesses were around Fedellos do Couto and Matassa, but with influence from Sextant. Entry-level funky-style wine. Slightly restrained and simple in the nose with notes of sweet cherry, cranberry and spoiled jam. But it pays well in the taste. Fizzy at the beginning, salty with flavours of spoiled strawberry-cranberry jam but with the right volume and evolution based on jamminess. I would take it on a picnic, chill a little bit, and then chill together with a bottle or two of this wine. — 2 years ago

Yaaaa this is in a great place. Nose is sick. Huge levels of insanely complex spice. Xmas spices galore. Just wow. Pine resin. Wow. Smells like $150 Burgundy. Palate is juicy, nimble and racy. But also some but not much sweet fruit. Really elegant and has perfect balance. So juicy and insanely fresh. So complex. This is peaking. Wow. Yes. A 9.5 tonight. — 2 years ago

Wow. What a showing. Sick nose. Deeply floral, spicey and slatey. Classic Huhnerberg. Apricot. Peach pit. So precise. 16 is so good at Müllen. Palate is so complete, complex and precise. Terrific fruit and depth, but man mineral and deeply acidic but sweet resonant acids. This is just incredible today. — 3 years ago
