Brought this to Spain from Italy yesterday. Still holding on, but fading. At peak likely 3-5 years ago, but still sound and mysteriously sneaky on finish. — 8 months ago

Difficult, where I found this wine terrific 1,5 years ago it wasn’t that good yesterday. Very tannic and bitter. Apparently yesterday was an off day to drink wine biodynamically seen. I’m starting to believe this approach more and more — 3 years ago

Vintage 2008 | Six years in barrel and four years in bottle before release. It’s a wine you must contain yourself not to smell only. A rich and exuberant smell with leather, stewed red summerfruit, brushwood and tones of liquorice, really beautiful and Burgundian expression. I opened the bottle yesterday and drank one glass, now it has a nice expression with all the aeration. Very balanced taste with refinement. A very nice Rioja that is a joy to drink. | Paired with tunafish and green asparges — 3 years ago

Popped yesterday. Better on Day 2 open. On the nose: lemon, nettle, guava, stone. On the palate: electric acidity, lovely density, a touch shorter than other Wittmann GGs, but good minerality and mirrors the nose. Lovely. — a year ago

Nose is smoky tomato. Blows off quickly. Some dried shitake mushroom.

Palate is fresh. Juicy old cherries. Big fruit. Really delicious. Kinky spices. Nutmeg. Cinnamon. Very interesting.

15.5% alcohol?!?

Lets see how it goes.

2 hours in nose is pleasant heirloom tomato. Palate is darker cherries. Big. Spice. Juicy. A big wine girding for a knife fight.

Day 2 major tomato on the nose. Yucky tomato juice. Better yesterday. — 2 years ago

Not only is this a weekend to remember those who have lost their lives for us, but it’s a sad weekend for me. I lost a longtime friend to cancer yesterday. We went to high school together in Iceland and we both served in the Navy. Normally this would be our weekend to get together and hang out at the pool, drinking beer and listening to 80’s music. RIP Faye I’ll miss you my friend — 2 years ago

Pop and pour yesterday. Notes from day 2 open. On the nose: soft smoke and chalk, apple, lemon, a hint of reduction...lovely nose. On the palate: chalk, sour apple, lemon, loads of wet stone...fantastic acidity and good density...maybe my favorite incarnation of this wine so far... — 3 years ago
