Gordons tasting Deiss 6/6/17. $20. No 2. Clean nose of white flowers and peach notes. Soft yet balanced palate that is silky yet with undercurrent of tension. Looking forward to the rest of lineup! Nice value. Blend of 13 varietals! Hope nose represents Alsace! Ripeness is goal. All natural. — 8 years ago

Fresh stone fruit, floral and feminine but with a stony undercurrent. Delicious and will be even better in five years. — 10 years ago

All the bright red strawberries and raspberries you could want, and with a brisk acidity that keeps everything from getting flabby or boozy on the palate. Add an undercurrent of herbs, earth and leather and you're done. Deeeeee-licious. — 10 years ago

The Demière-Ansiot 2006 has the sort of flavor profile I adore in a Blanc de Blancs. Opens with lush, expressive aromas of kumquat peel, apricot, brioche and smoke. In the mouth, it's intense, generously layered with a fine, arching acid spine. Amid a rhythmic staccato of citrus and orchard fruit lies an undercurrent of mouthwatering salinity, crushed shell and sea foam, sweeping on through a lengthyand persistent finish. Bravo. Bravo. — 11 years ago

A LOT more austere than I expected, tastes almost young. Nose took time to develop, even with lots of air. I'm a little suspicious about how this bottle was stored. There's almost zero penetration of the cork suggesting lots of upright storage? The ulage was normal-seeming, just a small visible gap beneath the foil. What nose there is has hints of mint, cedar and something candied, like dates. On the palate, surprisingly moderate intensity (12.5% pre-fruit-bomb era), tannic structure still very evident at 24 years, but considerably softened down to fine grain. Plummy, black cherry flavored, with that confected undercurrent. Finishes long and tannic. Cut through very rich lamb shank stewed in red wine, caramelized onions, shallots, and rosemary. Still developing with dark chocolate dessert. — 11 years ago

Sour cherries and a little caramel on the finish. Really tight at first... Better the second night. Lemon and grapefruit on the nose with an undercurrent of dark ripe red fruit. A little gamey and almost sweet (but not really). — 13 years ago

Great Pinot with perfect subtlety and balance. Light with notes of earth and minerals. Mild red fruit acts as undercurrent throughout. — 9 years ago

A lovely luscious chardonnay. White peach and grapefruit flavours with a saline undercurrent and lime peel setting off the palate. Very smooth with a creamy mouthfeel, but no evidence of malolactic fermentation except for a subtle hint of creme brûlée. The oak very restrained. The acid is quite subdued at this point, giving the wine great balance with a long lingering finish. Simply beautiful. — 10 years ago
