Lösnicher Försterlay Spätlese Riesling 1998

A nearly perfect wine. Sweetness had dissipated. Salty meaty herby goodness. Tasted like Côte de boeuf with tarragon. Not too much acid either. Almost weightless. Have had some disappointing wines from 98, but great producers who were meticulous were able to transcend the vintage. — 9 years ago

Erdener Treppchen Spätlese Riesling 2009

Pretty great stuff for 25$ a bottle. Wish I could bring myself to invest more in these sweeter German Rieslings. The problem (for me, at least): I only love them with spicy food; but I also think spicy foods can blunt their complexity. — 10 years ago

Also age longer the sweetness resolves

Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009

Zunächst mal Danke an Stephan für die Inspiration den aus dem Keller zu holen. Einer der besten Pinot der Vergangenheit, klare Frucht, geschliffen, leichtfüßig und doch schönen Druck. Die nächste Flasche wird erst in ein paar Jahren rausgeholt — 9 years ago

Erdener Treppchen Auslese Riesling 1996

God I love old Riesling. Still vibrant at 17 years old, in a mellow sort of way. Electric golden colour, oily, diesel, petroleum jelly, honey-dipped rocks, river spray...so freaking cool. From Richmond Hill Wines, unbelievably $25ish. — 12 years ago

Clos Solene

Hommage Blanc White Rhone Blend 2014

This is a 75/25 Roussanne/Viognier blend from Guillaume Fabre, former assistant to Stephan Asseo of L'Aventure and now winemaker/proprieter of Clos Solene. Discovered this place based on a recommendation from L'Aventure, and the wines are fantastic. This one is drinking beautifully right now - terrific aromas of white flowers, petrol, and honeysuckle - but with enough acidity to keep it alive. Will be posting notes on a red we'll be pouring in a bit, but RUN, don't walk to try these wines. — 10 years ago
