Powerful aromatics. Beautiful touch of brett. Stiff yet forward. Great balance. — 9 years ago
Decadent, viscous, tropical. Good vibrancy but the oak kind of muffles the grape aromatics and profile. — 8 years ago
Beautiful. Maybe the acid isn't searing due to the season, but this has developed gorgeously. Sourdough and strawberries. Potent aromatics. Pretty lift on the midpalate. Lingers wonderfully. — 9 years ago
Starts of ripe and bountiful, before transitioning into a mineral, lean, herbaceous follow-through of underrepresented cantaloupe and strawberry. — 8 years ago
A touch over the top. Hitting 15% alcohol and relentless oak, although the structure remains massive, it's a it hard to handle despite overt allure. — 8 years ago
Beautiful 1-2 punch, with the nectary richness hitting you first and then a pretty acid zipping through thereafter. Just enough age to be hitting it's sweet spot (no pun intended?). — 9 years ago
