Steinbuckel Großes Gewächs Riesling 2017

Koncentrerad och medelfyllig med en stark intensitet. Frukten är väldigt ren och avslutet kittlande mineralstinn. Har lite fina toner av anis och krutrök som letar sig in. Bra längd och fräschör. — 5 years ago

Villa le Prata

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2012

Wet granite, coconut, balsamic, mushroom, and black cherry aromas and flavors. A little young; acidity is stark and needs a bit to mellow, or at least a good decanting. Well balanced, but lacks length and depth at this time. — 6 years ago

Interesting to read through the comments in this wine, it's not for everyone, but I love it. It reminds me of Big Black, if anyone remembers them from the 80s, the stark tannin structure is like that metallic grating guitar, cleansing, purifying, hard, stripped down. Orange wine is stripped down, it is missing the veneer of fruit and color, that is part of what is so special about it. It is like bauhaus architecture, you see the steel girders and the electrical conduit. This one is particularly that way. With a delicious resolution. — 8 years ago

I like comparison of wine to architecture. I always thought of esthetics when looking at the label but not the wine itself. I hate to say but there are too many wines like Frank Gehry's architecture :-)

Kabinett trocken Riesling 2012

8.9

Beautiful nose of stark slate and lime zest. A confectionary quality develops afterv 10-15 minutes. Very clean and pure and very Mosel. This is drinking really well out of the gates. Initially there is underripe peach, green apple, lime lest, stones and more stones. Terrific acidity that could use maybe 30-40 minutes to integrate on the backend. Gets fleshier with each sip and show the fleshy fruit of the 2012's in full force. Really luscious fruit develops after 20 minutes or so.

El Sarrat Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes Red Rhone Blend 2015

Saman Hosseini
9.1

100% Mourvèdre - has lifted stripped down elegance and lithe structure, with slow building fruit, but there is a stark leather complexity and mineral edge from its forlorn mediterranean landscape. Reminds you of the unadorned, sunwashed, foreboding air of Mario Sorrento’s early 90s Calvin Klein ‘Obession’ campaign with Kate Moss. — 6 years ago

Tasted on day two. Deep ruby red with bell peppers and red fruits on the nose. Lots of acidity with medium tannins (5/10). Medium bodied with dark fruits and a bit savory. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2019. — 8 years ago

ENSO Winery

Chateauneuf du Stark Syrah Blend

Enso, made in PDX, has released their "Chateauneuf du Stark" based on the quartet of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Counoise (each at 25%) from Columbia Valley. Fragrant, phat, flirting with smoke & slate but so juicy...call me muy loco but it reminds me of papaya crossed with tobacco. Whatever, this li'l Stark ode to Chateauneuf isn't too big for its britches, it's daring & delightful! — 9 years ago
