and spicy new oak

spiced apple and overripe Persian melon dominate the Prum 2011 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese gold capsule

I think I've never seen such an elegant Cheval des Andes

this splendid wine promises to get even better over the next 4-6 years and possibly last through the first decade of the next century

There is outstanding volume to the big-bodied and overtly muscular flavors that coat the palate with dry extract while delivering excellent length on the dusty and built-to-age finish

Bellevue Mondotte other_regions_italy and spicy new oakRuby red. Roasted plum, toffee, game and nutty oak on the nose. Lush, fat and stuffed with fruit. A wonderfully pliant 2002 with noteworthy density and richness. Sound acids and suave but firm edged tannins give this excellent balance. Finishes very long and ripe. This is even stronger than it appeared to be from barrel last spring. Stephen Tanzer
