Brings the Northern Rhone to the table, with just a little extra oomph - but you'd be hard pressed to pick this out of an old world lineup as the ringer. At 8, just starting to stretch out - excellent with a little brisket. Or a lot of brisket. — 9 years ago

Dead ringer Aussie but while the fruit is huge, it's not ridiculously overdone. Fun to have these types of wines from time to time — 10 years ago

A true bordeaux ringer. Lovely deep fruit with great cab and merlot showing more prominent than its % would suggest. Loads of depth and complexity. A revelation. — 8 years ago

Excellent ringer for a Barolo, dead on with tar, dried rose petals, bitter red fruits and spice. Dusty texture, fine velvety tannins that firm up on the finish. The classic velvet glove with the iron first Barolo is known for, but this my friends is #xinomavro from #greece #greekwine — 10 years ago

This wine has really come along well since the last time I had it. Fresh raspberry, rhubarb pie, white peppercorn, salted meat. Mouth filling with really pleasant acidity. A dead ringer for CDP. — 10 years ago

An incredible Syrah from California. Meaty, smoky, grilled herbs and nicely framed fruit. Dead ringer for Northern Rhone. — 10 years ago

9.5

Figured I would start strong. This is my first taste of Peter Michael's Pinot, but he seemed pretty fired up about it. His other wines are unbelievable. Cracking this open in a couple of hours, so I'll update this after. Update: cherry cola, leather, the fruit is clearly exceptional, and the winemaking just accents it flawlessly. Long, lingering finish. This is unbelievable wine. I've never had a better Pinot. Paired this wine with a dry-aged prime ribeye with a balsamic cherry reduction. Dead ringer. The two did the tango right across the palate. — 10 years ago

Ira Schwartz

9.3

A wine that would do well at a masquerade party. On opening a dead ringer for an aged riesling, petrol and honey. The palate is full of honey, pears and faint hints of minerals all wrapped in a wave of acid. No one would be criticized if they tasted it blind and said aged Chenin . Fascinating — 10 years ago
