Holy smokes. Currant and dark cherry, and medium red nose, that leads into a perfectly tannic finish. — 2 months ago
Honey nectar where time has carved out concrete smoothed smokey cool aromas of grilled pineapple and canned apricot.
Sweet and weighs like a brick, thick with nuance to sift through. Yellow peach, burnt popcorn, green coriander, lychee last to say goodnight — 2 years ago
Crisp, interesting & oaky! Perfect! — 4 years ago
Field blend of Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Beurot, Muscat and Pinot Noir from the Engelgarten, a vineyard with poor, gravelly soils located just outside the walls of Bergheim (about 10 miles north of Colmar, in the Haut Rhin). Pure, expressive nose with notes of citrus, rubber and minerals. Intense, dry, textured. Slightly ripe. Long, saline finish. — 4 years ago
Fruity aftertaste, maybe a pear. But still dry and very good. Can’t remember where I got it from but I want more. — a month ago
Loving the nose right out of the gate, even if it’s a bit too chilled. The purest chalky, oyster-shelly limestone, so bright, with crisp citrus-tinged green-appley fruit. Minerally and a bit leaner on the plate than I expected from a ‘20. Very focused. Finish is like sucking on stones. Teensy bitter note in the finish (not a negative). Right now a 9.2. Let’s see what it does with air and losing a little chill — 2 months ago
Honey, banana cream, cinnamon, Indian spices, saffron, apricot, mango, pineapple candy, orange peel and orange zest, cinnamon, orange candy wrap, creamy yet edge texture, marmalade. — 2 years ago

Picked this up on a whim, and I'm really happy with it. — 4 years ago
This shows just a touch of surmaturite aromatically and on the palate, which isn’t shocking since it’s 15% ABV — normally this special cuvée checks in at 13-14% ABV. With that said, gorgeous fruit, very nice depth and balance, long, lingering finish, I just shouldn’t have opened it on a 95+ degree summer day (shrug). — a month ago
Really nice light and matured field like rising. Green apples, mibnt, ligt tobacco notes I aroma. Green apples, green peaches, pinch of sweet green grapes at palate. Medium accidity. Fresh but has a character. — 10 months ago
Light and dry but funky, almost yeasty tannins mixed with berries. Distinct old vine Chilean varietals that I would like to see more of. — 5 years ago

Very elegant wine that has found a lovely balance.
Long aftertaste and surely potential to keep going. — 19 days ago
