Completely translucent bright ruby. Shy nose. Notes of sour cherry, earth, and smoke on the palate. Light body, fine texture. High acid and fine tannin help add length. Very pure but not great p/q — 20 days ago

9.4

Lovely nose of slow cooked beef and heirloom pork, red and black roses, brown bread stuffing, fine tabak, vanilla-in-bread, dusty black cherry, dried black currant and espresso powder. Black olive rounds the palate in a textural wave that intensifies to charred grape gravy, very sharp forest berry, lavender, holly, pine nettle, and sage. Younger offering here but fully integrated and freshly offering dark bark and dark castings with lively fruit and floral punctuation.

Absolutely gorgeous and unique. For a 23yo wine the complexity on the nose and palate is still bumpin, and the tannins are silky and smooth, with a little grab here and there just to let you know it’s past. Nose of rich dark berries, old driftwood (from Collin) with a medium body that’s fruit forward, somewhat smoky, and beautifully balanced with hints of dried herbs, and sage. Absolutely amazing. — 2 years ago

A vibrant, focused and deliciously complex red, offering raspberry, cherry, cinnamon, mocha and subtle sage notes rolling through the long and expressive finish. Deft. Wine Spectator #3 Wine of the Year — 3 years ago

OMG 21 Baden Scheurebe is lights out! Psycho nose. Unreal xmas spice, sweet sage, minerals, sweet grass, indica, herbs of all sorts, black currants and grapefruit. Just sickness. 9.5 nose. Out of this world. Wow, what acid, what grip, what flamboyance! Chock full of energy, green fruits and so much acid and drive. This pushes on the finish like nothing else and is god tier juicy. I love this wine. So long. More to come with air. This got so aristocratic and elegant with air. Wow. — 2 years ago

Dali vintage. Still super alive and young, what fun wine to drink alongside Dali’s Wines of Gala book. Most of the fruit is gone, lots of terroir shining through — grape seeds and clay. Some sage / menthol. Literally no oxidative notes — 4 years ago
