2007 vintage. Tasting 17+ years later... On the nose, this is blackberry syrup and black cherry flesh... On the palate, there is an acidic wispiness of cherry much like the kirschiness of cherry pits soaked in vodka... A big body here though as this plays above a powerful leatheriness that extends well through the long finish. Tannins still have something to say. Grippy. I haven't had this vintage in a few years and it will be interesting to see whether the amazing-in-youth '08 also carries this well into its elder years. This '07 was a very nice treat so many years on. — 2 months ago

I think this is now my favorite cider ever. So f-Ing good. Every time I drink this, it seems to be better than the last. Maybe this is my Pliny the elder of cider! — 3 years ago

🍇2019 Ronco del Gnemiz Friulano San Juan
Enchanting and thrilling with a lovely texture. Somehow it reminds me of a mix of a white Burgundy and high quality Sancerre. A wine that is right up my alley. Serve it at 12 degrees in a generous Burgundy glass. Serve it with something tasty. 

Good concentration on the nose that opens up with some green apples, grape fruit and elder flower that is soon overtaken by richer characters of juicy peaches, orange and honey. Toasted nuts and a pronounced crushed fruit mineralogy brings further complexity.
Full bodied and a generous entry with a balancing fresh acidity. Pronounced fruit concentration and strong mid palate yet with a slime waste and lovely salty texture that brings nerve and tension through a very solid finish. Well Done! — 4 years ago

Tough to rate. Nose has some chemicals. But, palate is that great west coast Pinot noir. Some chalky minerality and loads of fruit, primarily cherry. Quite a bit of acidic zip. — 2 months ago

This one is very Neiss (pun intended) 🤡
There is petrol on the nose, along with elder flower, citrusy notes, and a chalky thing too, lingering in the back. The palate is made of a massive acid backbone that goes on for ever, great width with lemon notes and lemon curd too, some grippy mouthfeel that expands in the rear before a zesty, lemony finish that goes for ever and that's very fresh. Definitely my kind of dry riesling! Neiss one! (ok that's already one too many) — 3 years ago

Explosive aromatics of lavender, elder flower, tangerine peel and gooseberry. On the palate fresh citrus, bright acidity with a long finish. This wine would be easily confused with a great bottle from Alsace. Super refreshing with all the floral complexity that this varietal can elicit. Excellent wine. Thanks Pat for the recommendation! — 4 years ago

Surprisingly fresh with 25y of age - with wilted flowers and some shy, dusty cherry.
Nice pure fruit in the forefront of the palate with a bit of undergrowth & musty cellar in the back. Tannins still firm and acidity fresh. Nice purity.
What a nice, if elder surprise. — a year ago

Fragrant, floral, fresh with an intense focussed line. Less concentrated than its elder siblings but a lovely drop nonetheless. — 4 years ago
