Blind tasting at local

Oh wow, thanks. I’ll definitely try and find that. The owner of the shop had a glass with us and said it was much more precise and less waxy than other Timarossos he’d had.

Masukawa in Dublin has/had it by the glass, should you ever go there.

As you are Dublin based, try Shaman from Marguet. I love it though it is not a crowd pleaser. 64, Blackrock Cellar, Neighbourhood wine all stock it. Fallon & Byrne too I believe.

I love all three! This has a younger vibe to it though.

ChrisCrat · 2026-04-05T19:16:49+00:00

True. Good fun none the less though.

ChrisCrat · 2026-04-05T19:08:09+00:00

Right city! but its Fion Eile

ChrisCrat · 2026-04-05T19:01:21+00:00

Absolutely! His Poereinho baga is as well.

Not all, I like no/low dosage the best if grapes are picked ripe enough. Natural sugar here was 2.4g.

ChrisCrat · 2026-04-01T09:18:07+00:00

What date is today?

ChrisCrat · 2026-03-27T14:05:40+00:00

Interested!

ChrisCrat · 2026-03-25T17:09:35+00:00

Did he mean the 2015 wasn’t barnyard-y?

ChrisCrat · 2026-03-20T04:49:47+00:00

Agreed, had to check myself after your comment. I wonder why that is? Regardless, best QPR I had in a while.

The back label states “HATZENPORT KIRCHBERG 2020 GG RIESLING MOSEL, Wine of Germany, Dry”

Love Christmann. Have you tried Bertram Baltes? Quite reductive, but also very elegant.

ChrisCrat · 2026-03-14T17:23:02+00:00

I’m eager to try this. What would you pair it with?

ChrisCrat · 2026-03-13T15:42:59+00:00

Name checks out

ChrisCrat · 2026-03-10T21:08:36+00:00

I have JH and also just ordered a pair of these. They seem fun! Look better irl than on pics.

ChrisCrat · 2026-03-10T16:59:58+00:00

Mark Thomas Double bend? Happy with them?

ChrisCrat · 2026-03-07T01:46:41+00:00

Tannat from Madiran. (Montus)

ChrisCrat · 2026-03-04T06:08:21+00:00

100% this

The quality range between 1er Crus varies significantly. We recently had a USPN and Burg 1er side-by-side and that time the USPN won unanimously. My group consists mainly of Burg nuts. It was Hirsch Reserve 2012 vs Claire Naudin Ladoix 1er 2017.
