Young, fresh, still quite primary fruit in this younger 1er Cru Vaillons, some tart lemon acidity, some fine minerality, a floral note as well, medium-long finish, needs a little more aging (2-4 years?) for my palate, but very, very nice!! — 8 days ago

Lioco is on the cork of this Garagiste private label wine, we have liked the Lioco version of this Mendocino County Carignan in the past as well, darkfruits, 13.2% ABV, good acidity, richer and more complex than the Roussilion red we had earlier, solid. — 3 days ago

Smells like an aged Raveneau, honey over minerality, still vibrant acidity, full-bodied w/nice richness, long, lingering finish, not quite as fine as the 1989 Chapelots 1er Cru I posted on recently, but very close!! — 8 days ago

Lovely aromas of wildflowers, minerals and honeysuckle, still very youthful, this needs 1-2 years of further aging, this vintage is more delicate than some of the prior Agathe Muscats I’ve been lucky enough to drink, lovely, w/further aging potential!! — 4 days ago
