A glorious nose. Kaleidoscopic fruit with bright cherry, violets, lifted wild strawberry. So much going on and sooo pretty. Very pure and defined on the palate. Still quite contained. I suspect this will be spectacular in a few more heard but truly delicious now. Pure class. — 12 days ago
With four hours in the decanter and then consumer over a three hour dinner the wine was simply spectacular! — 2 months ago
Medium garnet , narrow garnet rim. Really elegant , meaty red fruits , red rose , touch of spice. On the palate lovely balance , with fresh acidity , suave tannins . Red cherry , strawberry, raspberry , touch of sous bois. Long on the finish , earthy , chalky finish. A model of elegance, and drinkability, really incredibly moreish , got better and better over 2 -3 hours . Showing well now but will continue well over the next 8-12 years — 6 months ago
A crazy nose. Smells like a Barolo. Stinky tar, intense and full. Tobacco and wood. Odd. Not unpleasant but would never think this was burg? — 12 days ago
Straw gold color. Aromas of white flowers, honey, oats and pie dough. Peach, cantaloupe and lemon on the palate with hints of toasted nuts and baking spice. Lovely creamy texture and a long lingering (and slightly funky) finish. Medium-light bodied. Crisp with well balanced acidity. — 2 months ago
