-RR- Rheinhessen Riesling 2022

This is a delicious Riesling from the 2022 vintage. The RR destination indicates it’s from three different vineyards, all on red slate soil. At 12.5%abv it is just slightly off-dry - perceptible sweetness but less than most Kabinett wines. The fruit clearly got ripe with luscious apple, ripe pear, yellow plum, lemon, lime and flint along with a hint of petrol. Exceptional balance, good acidity and a very long finish. Very speaking note and will last many more years than I have patience to wait! — 9 months ago

Clos Erasmus

Laurel Priorat Garnacha Blend 2014

By the end of night one the cerebral roller coaster ride left me bewildered. Despite being guilty of infanticide, the wine was not necessarily closed for business. Rather, it was like tasting four or five different wines over a few hours. A darker than usual kirsch provides a canvas for the swirling plethora of flowers, herbs, meat, and earth, with a distinctly saline minerality (which might be the only constant here). By night two it reached its destination of charmingly pleasurable and no longer required as much thought, thankfully. — 8 years ago

Such a great producer. The Laurel is so beautifully elegant. Holding my 12's and 13's for at least another 5-7 years.

Fulldraw Vineyard

Chopping Block Paso Robles Syrah Blend 2017

Shay A
9.3

Another one of my bottles opened for a massive Paso theme. After having the 2016 last year during a virtual tasting with Connor of Fulldraw, I think this 2017 has more upfront appeal whereas the 2016 has a touch more longevity.

I double decanted this for an hour, then put it in a decanter at my destination where I followed it for the next 4hrs. The profile didn’t really change all that much after the first 1-2hrs. This is high octane without being overblown and flabby. Half Syrah, with the remaining split between Grenache and Mourvèdre. Gorgeous royal purple in the glass. Aromatically I didn’t pick up a lot of smoked meat/savory Syrah notes, but mostly a lot of dark chocolate dipped black cherries, dark floral potpourri and fleshy fruits...as if it were mostly Grenache. The palate was the same...high toned ripe fruit with nice lift and acidity, and an airy jammy character I find in high quality Paso wines.

I saved the last third of this and opened again the next day and there was zero change. Best over the next 3-5yrs for this type of profile.

Merum Priorati

Destí

Today it’s time for "Destí" with Grenache only, by Merum Priorati @merumpriorati. It comes from the vineyards that are halfway up the slopes of this winery. A friendly but powerful Priorat wine with body and very balanced. "Destí" (destination) symbolizes the place where wines of Merum aim for, no more and no less than Heaven. Which one is yours? #dovinsdelaterra #doqpriorat #vinscatalans — 5 years ago
