Nice craft wheat beer from here in Copenhagen. Like in the states they are really seeing a surge in the craft beer industry. — 11 years ago

Since my last bottle of the '10 Tensley Syrah 'Colson Canyon Vineyard' was about a year-and-a-half ago, I opened another yesterday. The big sweet dark fruit surge of the first bottle seems to have muted somewhat to show the secondary cedar, graphite, bitter chocolate and licorice flavors more. A nice combo of sappy and lively in the lingering aftertaste. I'll save the rest for another year or so. — 11 years ago

The most obvious trait of this 2009 Knights Bridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is its booming power and complexity. Aromas of black cherry, ripe macerated black raspberry, espresso, spice, and dried lavender bound from the glass and continue to reward through a dense, weighty palate. Plush layers of dusty mocha, dark sweet fruit, and cedar surge through a rich mid-palate and unfurl to an expansive finish. Well-integrated oak, fine-grained tannins and lifting acidity lend excellent structure and balance. Our biggest Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to date, this wine will continue to evolve for a decade or more. — 13 years ago

Nose has strong tannin structure to it; I can smell it's huge. Pencil lead, slate, and chewiness scents. Structured mouthfeel. Black cherry, anise, pencil lead, blackberry flavors. Finish lingers and the fruits surge and ebb. Lovely. — 11 years ago

Mid gold. Creamy confit lemon, dry, good acidity - then the rich juicy biscuity lemon flavours surge to the fore complete with elegant weight and style. — 12 years ago

Pierre Péters Réserve Oubilée is made from fruit grown in Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize, and Cramant. Of note, Mesnil-sur-Oger is regarded as the “King of Champagne villages”, and is home to Salon and Krug. Four years of aging on the lees lends opulence and dimension. Brioche, lemon curd, crystalline honey, and wet shell lead into a powerful attack. There is a fabulous contrast of purity and texture, citrusy acidity, and mineral-driven saline notes that surge to a nearly endless finish. Disgorged June 2011 — 11 years ago
