César Príncipe

Cigales Tempranillo 2005

Absolutely fantastic, classic warmer climate Tempranillo. Eleven years old and still kicking. Drunk and enjoyed with, gasp, a variant of an Italian dish called Cacciatore - chicken, squash, courgette, mushrooms, tomatoes, and red wine sauce. — 10 years ago

Selection St. Laurent 2013

Nytt på bolaget! Hur kunde jag inte hugga denna? St Laurent är en frösådd variant på pinot noir, whatever the hell that means. Viktigare är att detta är en höjdare! Mustigt, kryddigt, blöta höstlöv som brukligt, men också lite kåda, sirap. Riktigt bra med sting i gomseglet med touch av Algrens bilar i eftersmaken. Bara att köpa. — 10 years ago

The Bruery

Black Tuesday Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout

Matt Austin
9.3

2014 rum barrel aged variant. 18.9% alc!!! This is big, sweet and boozy. Dessert beer for sure. It has complexity, but not on the level of the bourbon barrel aged original. Still has more balance than just about any beer in this alcohol range and it's a pleasure to drink. Will be better with some age. — 11 years ago

It's easy to open a second one.

9.2

A bit early to tell it's whole story, but incredibly expressive. Crushed slate, orange marmalade, and this is where it gets weird, but I swear it's accurate...pencil erasers, party baloons, minerality so high, it could be pop-rocks. Finish is medium plus, and cleanly with some slight chalky notes and petrol. Wish it would hold longer on the acidity. Overall, an incredible value, for the triple Hamilton's, you get quite an experience. It's no Donnhoff or Prum, yet still a wonderfully variant showing. — 11 years ago

Hidden Legend Winery

Pure Honey Mead

Another flavorful Mead of the lesser sweet variant. I rate this on the same level of greatness as the SkyRiver Mead, although this one is a little bit more dry. It gives it an almost beer like property, though it's still rich and smooth like a wine should be. — 13 years ago

Ihringer Winklerberg Baden Grauburgunder 2014

Carso Terrano 2009

@delectable this is the single varietal bottling of terrano, not the blend.

Probably the only rofosco (or variant of) that I've ever liked. Deep purple fruit, juicy and earthy and fresh with good acid structure. Great summer wine with just a touch of chill.

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli

Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1971

Paul Costigan
9.4

1971: Very fresh bottle, originally purchased from RWC, served by Quince to pair with white truffle menu. Exhibiting a youthful variant of maturity, perfect to experience now. Cherry fruit at center, with tar and spice in the background. When Borgogno bottles have been well maintained, they provide as much pleasure as any. — 10 years ago

Janisson Baradon & Fils

Toulette Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2006

100% CH of which 80% is a variant calked Chardonnay Musque from the Savoie, planted in 1947. 109% oaked fermented. 7 years spent on lees. Low dosage (3-4 g/L). What a lovely wine...full, generous and fresh. Everything is here already but needs to takes its place. Promising future. Melting fruit and texture on the palate. Good energy throughout. — 11 years ago

Brasserie de Rochefort

Trappistes Rochefort 10 Quadrupel Ale

One of the top three of the covetted Belgian Trappiste Ales. The "10" variant is appropriate and also a real kick in the pants as it aligns to the alcohol content 🍻 — 11 years ago
