Robust, big Shiraz hitting the tape at 14.9. But had jammy fruit uncontaminated by oak. — 5 years ago

Frick makes gorgeous wine and this is no exception. Opulent with classic Gewurztraminer fruit and floral notes. Dreamy winter wine I just want to keep smelling. Duct Tape Wine. — 7 years ago

Really struggle to find a pinot with a pH over 6, but this one is a box ticker. Soft, low acid, mild tannins and a decent finish. The Tasmanians could learn a lot from this drop instead of producing the garbage they produce. Will buy again. — 6 years ago

Last night, this top-three-wine-of-my-life, from the one of the greatest hands ever to prune a vine, the mythical Burgundian Henri #Jayer 🇫🇷 , who was an inspiration to so many great winemakers (including those of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti). Jayer was the template, the prototype, doing pure, unfiltered, minimal-intervention wine long before it was even a thing. Drinking this 1959 Jayer #Richebourg was like getting to listen to the original master tape of Zeppelin IV 🎸, experiencing it exactly as the artist intended, with elevated highs, more resonant bass, and sharply delineated nuances 🎶. Even after 58 years, it was fresh and generous, a veritable Roman candle 🌋 of plums, cherries, spice, and smoke. It had this minty-woodsy character than reminded an artist at the table of “Arches watercolor paper” and “India ink”. To me, it was like the best forest you have ever smelled -- Muir Woods 🌳 in a glass. Its velvety finish rolled on forever, and only after about 40 minutes did its overall taste finally start to fade. This wine had everything. 🙏 — 8 years ago

Magnum. Apologies for the sketch of Al's arse- we were adding our own poor taste Ganevat label. Big tension here between that lactic texture, its searing minerality and acidity. Analogue hi-fi warmth. Tape hiss and Rhodes. — 10 years ago

Inside Virginia, I will be very strict and stern with my ratings for varietals… The tale of the tape —>> to the scorecard our key indicators. this fella may be a little on the downward slope even after 5 1/2 years. I will remind myself that this was a cool vintage and the sugars We’re going to be in a tug-of-war with the beneficial acids. Purposeful for the meal we connected, this was not, however a purple bomb… Rather an accurate rifle shot at 100m. To his credit: the nose was nearly perfect in varietal representation. The pallet lost an edge as the mid palate dark chocolate body turn just a touch savory — 6 years ago

Drinking out on the deck without a jacket on Christmas in Connecticut. Surreal.

Ah, the wine. This is the best white Crozes I've had. Gorgeous nose. Flowers, honey, sweet straw, bitter deep pear. Waxy, ripe, earthy, minerally. Great length. Put a piece of tape over the "Crozes" and I'd believe you that this was a white Hermitage. Delicious. ($22 from Fass Selections) — 10 years ago
