2022. 13.5%. Outstanding - James Suckling gave it 98. Typically not my go to guy - but here he is right. A masterpiece. Quite big and earthy. Tannic, dark. Touch bitter. Fragrant. Silky texture. Dark cherry, Cola, Elderberry. Touch Cardamom. As it gets more air plum. Nice minerality and a long finish. This will age easily for 10 more years and gain complexity. At Birdrock Fine Wines. Hopefully still on the tasting bar today - or sold out? - picked up 4 bottles. — a month ago

Zesty! Lemon peel, peach, pineapple, and a hint of honey. Long, satisfying finish. — 5 months ago

Just Ok not really 94JS points. Big and rich, some kerosine, lemon, creamy, over all lacks anything which makes it interesting. — a month ago

A delicious, if young, Alsace Pinot Noir. Medium intensity, youthful color. Nose charges out of the batter’s box with musky, fragrant cherries, crushed stone and meadow soil, and a bit of exotic spice. Dry bit with delicious fruit on palate entry, turning lean and emphasizing chalky but soft tannins, good acids, and savory minerals as the palate progresses. A lot of fun to drink now but plainly will get even more interesting over the next few years. — 2 months ago

Brassy gold color. Classic Alsace nose has petrol-like notes, crushed stone, and golden delicious apple fruit. Smells fresher than the color suggests. Bone dry, with intense crushed stone minerally flavors, bright fruit underneath, and swept along by crisp, mouthwatering acids. Could certainly go a few more years. Nicely done! — 3 years ago

Domaine Amelie and Charles Sparr “Revelation” Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg. Deep brassy gold color. Big nose has loads of ripe, lightly-spiced apple fruit, cracked stone, a bit of petrol, and torn tarragon leaves. Surprisingly soft and fat textured in the mouth, but totally dry. Ripe appley fruit and some stony minerality. Acids seem low at first but sneak in later to keep it fresh. Delicious now, this will keep a few years but doesn’t seem to be a long ager. — a month ago

Outstanding Alsatian Pinot Noir, from vineyards in Wettolsheim, next to Colmar. Precise nose with notes of red fruit, smoke, minerals. Fresh, lively, good acidity — 4 years ago
