Les Frères Soulier - Vert de Gris

Appearance: hazy neon goldfish

Nose: aldehyde, hazelnut skin, olive brine, brûléed golden apple and Asian pear, pastry cream, acacia, orange marmalade, cinnamon stick, candied ginger, dried apricot, prosciutto-wrapped cantaloupe, white cherry, marshmallow

Palate: very sherry-like, ultra-dry with gritty tannins and sharp acidity, earthy, dried orange peel/pith, dried apricots, baking spice, sun-baked Mirabile plum and nectarine, kirsch. Something lifted and creamy on the long, mouthwatering finish. — 2 years ago

Nose of oak, cedar, cigar box and dark fruit with barnyard funk. Tobacco, tart cherry, cranberry, blackberry and leather on the palate. The middle holds up beautifully, and the finish is long with ample acid and chewy tannins. Well balanced, broad and powerful, this 2001 Gran Reserva is hitting its stride. At $35 a bottle, this is an incredible wine. — 9 years ago

Sister 2001 Rioja Reservas tonight. This one incredible on the nose, rainy woodpile, mushrooms. Even better mouthfeel. Elegant, ancient mariner. — 11 years ago

Heavy brew, 16%! The alcohol is not even that noticeable, but this is chunky, juicy and voluptuous. Prunes, cacao and a warm and lingering aftertaste. Wine for a winter’s day (which it most surely wasn’t) — 4 years ago

A miracle? Maybe not quite, but quite scrumptious with a surprising and pronounced amarone-like dried fruit core. — 11 years ago
