Yellow/green crisp color with a strong, aromatic nose that’s both stone-fruity and funky, this is a nice, crisp surprise. Strangely the nose has some turpentine like hints to it, along with some brioche-like Chardonnay notes, with white peach and fresh green hay. Medium bodied, but still slightly silky. — 5 days ago

Paired with a beautiful roast Spanish prawn, with chorizo and peppers, At first on the shelf there was only 2015s, but then I noticed the display bottle was 2012, so YOINK! Deep rose color with slight orange hues to the edges but no bricking even at 13 years old. Big spicy nose with hints of sharpie marker, black olives, plum and, as @Tiva Feltman described it, “old movie theater”. The spice could even be interpreted as hints of pineapple even! Medium to full bodied, with a big palate where the spice and energy continues, zinging the palate, with a flavor that lingers for LONG after the first sip. So much freaking energy, with flavors that remind me of artificial rasberry, black olives, tar, cigar smoke and some serious vegetal notes, almost like spicy kimchi and rich granite or pencil led. It just keeps going and it’s def a great value that could age forever. — 14 days ago

Not bad, lighter than I thought it would be, still a little oak but not a ton, with good lemon, slight creaminess, and decent minerality. It didn’t show much age after 6 years surprisingly! — 5 days ago

Incredible value with a big nose of crisp yellow fruits, wet limestone, and slight croissant notes, though more sharp citrus than anything. Pale/clear yellow color with a very dry, mineral dry palate the freshness and crisp fruit flavors like apricot, underripe orange and white peach linger long into the finish, with a slight baked crust hinted at the edges. Seriously a steal. — 13 days ago

Crisp and sharper than I anticipated. Not too acidic, well balanced, but didn’t feel young and very little oak. Very tasty! — a month ago

Very light red that drank well chilled, with ripe red fruit and a lingering finish. Def would buy again especially for a good glou or paired with salmon. — 6 days ago

Deep red, slightly coppery color under light, it’s young but after some decanting time it starts to open up. Nose is still restrained long after opening, but starting to show some fruit and herbaceous funk as it releases its hold. Raspberries, sherry, black cherry and wet mossy forest floor on the nose so far. Tannins are pretty prominent, dry and chalky, with a full body and long lingering finish where the jammy raspberries shine more as the song ends, even becomes a little ripe tomato as the song fades. Super young, but a great pairing for the pork belly and risotto we had for Valentine’s Day dinner and it shows a lot of promise. — 7 days ago
