What a sleeper. This is insane with age. Unreal confectionary nose. Just comically brilliant. Vanilla. Mandarin. So clean. Wide. Palate is gorgeous. Real density and juiciness. So pure and just incredible depth. I cannot believe how great this is. — 10 days ago

Mind boggling. On the nose is a high acid white like gruner or riesling. Unripe raspberry and plum, effervescence that dances around, has a slight tannin going down. Light wine but has structure — 2 years ago

I can’t believe I sold this for $22.99. The good old days. Electric, dense, nimble, complex. Mineral as all can be. Chunky, yet refined minerals. — 5 days ago

Spiced woodsy cherry leather with texture and grip like the Germans do.

A sturdy frame, flavor and tannins for chewing, bright and acidic and not overly serious. — 8 months ago

Nose is creamy, opulent and ripe. Background of lean minerals. Nice breadth. Melon and cantelope. So pure. Palate is opulent and ripe with lovely texture and just the right amount of acidity. Very easygoing and delicious. Good concentration and exceptional purity and as it airs out it gets leaner and more acidic. 9.3 for now but can see this going higher. Love how lean and nervy this gets with air. So good. Lime zest and flesh now inflecting on the palate. Zippy, zesty and pure. With air this gains energy and salinity. Amazing intensity. — 4 years ago

Nose: petrol and white flowers.

Palate: steely minerals. Expansive. Wow. Huge internal projection.

$30ish for a grand cru vineyard. I need to buy a case a year.

See my previous notes. Sven always works at the edge. Excellent and classic Pinot - the way it should be made. Looks light in the glass. But this carries a serious punch some whole cluster, some cherry 🍒 - but mostly other berries…cranberry and elderberry. Chalky and tart - excellent tannin management. If you consider yourself a Pinot expert - this should be on your bucket list. (Sourced by Lyle Fass). — a year ago
