Cellar/Tasting Notes
"While there are not a whole lot of noble sweet wines in the cellars this year, the two Spätlesen that Tim Fröhlich has fashioned from the Felseneck are absolutely outstanding. The “regular” Spätlese offers up a beautifully filigreed and pure bouquet of pink grapefruit, tangerine, slate, bee pollen..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"… stunning purity and precision… deep, pure and very stony in personality, with a great core of fruit, utterly refined, but serious tannins, bright acids and superb focus and grip on the very long, soil-driven finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A Spanish wine with mineral and licorice with hits of herbs and blueberries. Spice, and beautiful. Full and super balanced with velvety tannins and fresh acidity. Very pretty tension and intensity to this. Gorgeous."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A sleeper of the vintage, this impressive St. Emilion, made by Dominique Hebrard, exhibits a pure nose of red and black fruits intertwined with spice box, dried herbs, and subtle wood. Medium-bodied, beautifully concentrated, and pure with good acidity as well as ripe tannin, it should drink well..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Red raspberry, fresh cherry, and smoked meat (approaching pork rinds) greet the nose, with notes of ceiling wax and rose hip emerging as the wine takes on air.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Here the high alcohol does not obscure the layered fruits and overall complexity of this exceptional Cabernet. Thick, ripe and richly endowed, it keeps its black fruit, ripe tannins and liquorous barrel notes all in proportion, and pulls in top flight fruit from Champoux, Sagemoor, the estate..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2008 Numanthia spent 18 months in new French oak. It sports an inviting nose of pain grille, graphite, Asian spices, licorice, lavender, and blackberry. In the glass it reveals its voluptuous proportions, savory flavors, and outstanding volume."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Tightly framed, pure and focused, with vibrant blackberry, blueberry and wild berry notes, gaining depth and maintaining focus on the long, persistent finish."
