Siefersheimer Vom Porphyr Trocken Riesling 2009

Vintage 2009 - #riesling #trocken with incredible good smell: complex with impressions of butter, vanilla, passion fruit and mango. Honey off course. Beautiful #rheinhessen with ocean perch and pasta salad. What a treat if riesling becomes older 😊 — 7 years ago

Spätburgunder Rosé 2014

Essentially orange in color. Great freshness high acidity. Fresh herbs - mostly thyme! Raspberry back palate and a hint of camembert from spontaneous fermentation? A standout Rose as always and one of a kind - can't wait for my case of the 15. Great on its own or with a nice salad perhaps with smoked trout? From Lyle Fass. Also available from some stores in New York. But i think the 14' might be gone. — 7 years ago

The nose was. 9.5+. The palate was delicious but not as complex. If the palate catches up to the nose over time this will be a show stopper.

In any case a decline wine.

The nose was insane. The palate was delicious but lacked in complexity to be truly great. I’ll check in again in 2 years.

Drinking beautifully, 45 min decant. Excellent tart red fruit, excellent balance and tannin integration. Spare stateliness, personified. Drinking this wine is like watching Gene Kelly dance: elegance, mastery, nothing wasted. Paired with London broil and chocolate pasta, cacio e pepe . Ty, Fass Selections. — 5 years ago

Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

When the price of this doubles in a few years grown men and women will be weeping that they didn’t buy more. Myself included. Explosive fruit and minerality. More than enough balancing acidity for the 15 acidity alarmists. As this opens it has palate expansiveness. My gut is that this will improve with more age. Wow. Bought from Fass Selections. Ok an hour in this is killing it. Profound wine. — 6 years ago

@Noah Raizman @Aravind Asok freshness can also come from minerality and not just acid. Top 15’s have good acids not great but the freshness is terrific because of the mineral expression. I love the vintage. More in Côte d’Or than Chablis if I had to pick.

Wow. Whopping chablisien fruit out of the gate. So mineral. Explosively.

Awesome lechet fruit. So dense. Luscious. Mineral. This vintage seems more straightforward and less Reflecting the intense house style than other vintages. Stunningly delicious. Bravo.

I cannot emphasize how delicious this is. It’s the apogee of lechet.

I cannot believe @Lyle Fass sold me this bloated, high alcohol, flabby, Oak-chipped, overripe Meiomi look-alike!
Just kidding. This is elegant, charming, both sprightly and structured. My only complaint is that it needs time and I kinda dig the Trollinger more.
