92 WS Concentrated and still youthfully tight, with bitter almond and toasted brioche notes still not fully melded into the core of Jonagold apple, creamed melon, quince and white peach. There's good cut on the finish...
88-91 WS The 87/10/3 Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle blend is plump and open-knit with green plum, nectarine and coconut notes with a round, easy feel through the plantain-tinged finish. - James Molesworth, Wine...
97 RP / 96 WS / 18.5 JR Space limitations preclude including tasting notes. 2003 is a rich, sweet vintage of powerful, full-bodied wines that possess huge levels of glycerin, alcohol, and residual sugar. - Robert...
92 WA / 90+ VM / 90 WS / 16.5 JR Tasted single blind against its peers. This has a very floral, exuberant bouquet with white peach and grapefruit soaring from the glass. It is very pure and vivacious. The palate is...
98+ WA / 98 DE / 96 WS / 95 VM / 17.5 JR Pale to medium gold colored, the 2007 d'Yquem delivers powerful scents of tropical fruits—dried mangoes and pineapple paste—accented by acacia honey, toasted almonds and...
96 JS / 93 WS Another 2016 Spätlese from Dönnhoff that's still a bit shy on the nose, but on the palate it’s like a huge glittering diamond with more facets flashing many colors. An extremely long...
94 WA / 92 JS Pale brick colour with fragrant scents of mossy wood, potpourri, cinnamon and dried mulberry plus a whiff of espresso. A mature, well balanced Port comes through in the mouth with high acidity cutting through...
96 WS / 16.5 JR Delivers a beautiful display of purity and grace, with creamed Jonagold apple, star fruit, white peach and chamomile notes flowing seamlessly, backed by wet stone and fresh verbena accents. Subtle but...
95-97 VM / 96 WS / 95-96 WA Pear and pineapple aromas meet fine, floral characters in the 2020 Demi-Sec Le Haut-Lieu. While this wine's edges are rounded, it is refined and elegant. It has a sense of density on the...
93 WA / 93 JS The 2020 Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett offers an aromatic bouquet of fully ripe fruit and crushed stones. Round and mouth-filling on the palate, this is a hedonistic Kabinett with very fine, mineral...
94+ WA / 93 VM Delivering ripe and intense stone fruit aromas to the nose, the 2015 Riesling Bernkasteler Lay Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) is less clear, precise and crystalline compared to the corresponding Klosterberg at...
96 JS / 95 VM The most amazing of the 2015 dry rieslings from Markus Molitor, but not only because it has the most amazing exotic fruit, but also because of its stunning spiciness and a devastating mineral quality at the...
92 WS / 91 RP / 91 WA / 91 VM Very concentrated, with a dark gold color and dried pineapple, mango, honey, caramel and butterscotch. Full-bodied, with a long finish. Very, very thick and sweet. A bit monolithic on the...
92 WA / 91 WS Tasted blind at Southwold 06 Bordeaux tasting. It is adorned with a straightforward, no frills Sauternes nose, good definition, barley sugar, lemon curd and honey, gaining in intensity in the glass. The palate...
100 WA The 1946 Don PX Convento Seleccion produced with Pedro Ximenez grapes dehydrated under the sun at the time of the Second World War, was only bottled in September 2011. This is an extreme wine, my first descriptor was...
91 JS / 16.5 JR Surprisingly delicate and fruity at this stage. Ready to drink with a lightly sweet fruit, raspberry, and dark berry character and a bright acidity. - James Suckling Tasted blind. Pale-mid tawny. A brawny...
