Only OK. Cherry, rotting vegetation, a little bitter. Probably off. 86. — 2 days ago

9.2

NOSE: muted, red fruit, oaky vanilla, graphite

TASTE: super smooth, the fruit is candied and dried (cherry and maybe some fig?), mild spices and earth and fragrant wood — still enough acidity to keep it balanced. I like more fruit and oomph, but it is good. 92. — a month ago

8.7

Apple, peach, and tropical fruits. It’s OK — not enough mineral or citrus, texture is thin. 87. — 2 months ago

9.3

Lots of dried orange and zest! Some ginger. Lots of acidity, I usually like the older, richer style of sauternes but I think this is really great. 93! — a month ago

9.1

Shockingly good for the price ($34 at a nice restaurant — an American wine!). Good acidity really makes it. Still good two days later! 91. — a month ago

8.9

Not bad! Crisp and a little toasty. Pear. Nice texture. 89. — 2 months ago

9.0

NOSE: Clearly Rioja. Waxy milk chocolate, baking spices, vanilla. Dried fig.

TASTE: thinner and brighter than expected, more and fresher fruit (pomegranate and cherries, maybe some blackberry), bitter chocolate, baking spices, leather. “Silky” — even glassy. Good. 90. — 8 days ago

9.0

Seems to go down every year … but still good. 90. — a month ago

8.5

Tastes like simple unoaked Chardonnay. Meh. Wine guy steered me wrong on this one. 85. — 2 months ago
