Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2023 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with wonderful notes of Granny Smith apple, passion fruit, grilled pineapple, white flowers, lemon cake, fine spices and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and laden with chalky minerals. The texture is creamy. Unbelievable quality. Drink now through 2038. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 10 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2019 pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of fresh raspberry, Bing cherry, freshly cut roses, some tar, dried green herbs, old wood, some talcum powder and dry gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. The nose is so awesome. The roses are insane! Drink now through 2019. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass! — 3 months ago

A purity.

Pristine.

Spice.

The most elegant nose.

Almost a haiku of a wine.

Needs an hour. Or a century. I don’t know.

Immortal.

Audrey Hepburn. The Mona Lisa. The Goldberg Variations. Pieta.

Moore B tasting of Germans. A terrific wine of a varietal new to me. Lively with a sense of weightlessness that’s intriguing, playful texture too. — 3 years ago

Nose is earthy. Mushrooms. Lovely. As it opens some blueberry/ blackberry flower.

Palate is darker tart cherries. So fresh. Long finish. Delicious.
