TheElder Pinot

9.9

Revisiting the 2010 after a long absence. It is now a fully mature wine, showing perfect structure and balance with all the characteristics of a great chardonnay and the elegance of Pinot Gris. — 10 years ago

The Saturday Afternoon Champagne Cocktail. St. Elder, fresh ruby grapefruit juice, topped with leftover Iron Horse Wedding Cuvée rose. Pretty fab way to enjoy the warm day! — 10 years ago

Aptly named elder statesmen of Australian fortifieds. Savoury, complex salted caramel, almost buttery. Lovely stuff. — 11 years ago

It might not be Pliny the Younger but I didn't have to wait 6 hours in the rain. This is a reasonable facsimile if Pliny the Elder. — 11 years ago

The only beer out East that satisfied out strong hoppy California IPA palates. Reminiscent of Pliny the Elder from Russian River Brewery and Double Tap from Berryessa Brewing. — 12 years ago

Made from younger trees. I prefer the more expensive version with the elder trees though. This one was about $16-$17, so $8 cheaper from Arlequin. — 13 years ago

So much resin. Less tropical than last year. Well balanced. Wish I had an elder to compare against and clear sinuses. — 8 years ago

9.2

One of the best double IPA. Only this IPA can be compared to Pliny the Elder. — 10 years ago

Mark Cartland

9.1

This wine offers the generosity of a quiet benefactor and the restraint of an elder statesman. If I am not careful, I might fall in love with Zinfandel all over again! — 10 years ago

2011 Vintage. Very buttery notes as well as notes of grapefruit and elder — 10 years ago

Still think Pliny the Elder is a better option. Heady is a bit more dank & when poured into a glass it's much more cloudy than Pliny. — 11 years ago

Patrick Knöfler

9.0

Dark ruby, almost purple in colour, lots of fine sediment. The wine offered a complex nose of elder, black currant, cherry, blackberry, chocolate, spices, clove, liquorice, some leather, some tobacco and a charred wood component. On the ripe palate the wine showed elder, black currant, cherry, some blackberry, coffee, chocolate, spices, cinnamon, liquorice and some tobacco, paired with lively medium-plus acidity, medium-plus tannin, notable heat from the alcohol (15.2% ABV) and very good length. The full-bodied wine had good complexity, with well-handled oak, but the alcohol was out of balanced. Inferior to the tight, dense, concentrated, powerful 2007. 91 — 11 years ago

2004. The color and flavor of butterscotch! Really nice, acids remain to keep it fresh in the mouth. A charming elder offering. — 12 years ago

Alessandro Lunardi

9.8

Spectacular, fresh notes of pineapple, beeswax, elder flowers, intense balsamic, citrus, custard pie, rich texture and a powerful finish. — 12 years ago

9.2

Monte del Fra CA del Magro Bianco di Custoza is a single vineyard and offers many positive attributes: Still alive and kicking this 2013 vintage shows complex richness and weight in the palate but still manage to retain acidity and freshness. The elder flower and acacia notes are incredibly expressive. — 8 years ago

Bob McDonald

9.6

There is a certain unique character with Mt Edelstone only repeated in it's illustrious elder sibling Hill of Grace. Undefined but silky is part of it. Notes of roasted coffee bean. Some pungency like H2S but not. The highlight is the silky supple tannins. A beautiful wine one could never tire of. 2004 vintage. From 90 year old ungrafted vines. — 9 years ago

Elder flower meets sour beer, chalky — 9 years ago

Cameron Etezadi

9.5

2012 exceptional mineralogy but sweeter than one would expect from a grape known for dry whites. Good expression of Savoy terroir with subtle fruit notes of peach underlying elder flowers. — 10 years ago

Tom Marshall

9.1

Juicy and smooth, hints of vanilla and elder berry — 10 years ago

Hector Escaton

9.4

Stone's beer is finally catching up with their branding. This is an excellent IPA, rivaling the best I've had. Similar up front to Pliny the Elder but has a lasting tropical fruit flavor that is really special. — 10 years ago

With '"Wild duck in calm surrounding", juniper, pickled pine & elder.' — 11 years ago

Christopher Zulueta

9.7

Just enough sour (almost cider esque) from wine barrel aging. Very complex with funky, straw like nuances. A contemplative beer brewed in Salt Lake City by Epic and aged accordingly with a collaboration from Crooked Stave in Fort Collins. — 11 years ago

My favorite summer wine! Bright fresh squeezed lemon acid and wet river stone minerals duke it out for a dry finish with white nectarines and elder flowers — 12 years ago
