Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, cinnamon notes, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. — 2 months ago
Pop and pour. A striking medium gold color. On the nose: wonderful aeromatics of apple, honeycomb, floral, lemon, almonds. Taste: lean, waxy, balanced mouthcoating wine with tart apple, saline, lemon rind, crushed stone, and a minerally orange peel lingering finish. YUM! Should have more time to go. — 3 months ago

" A full-bodied wine shows ripe dark fruit aromas, voluminous richness and plentiful tannins." — 3 months ago
Oouh, the 2006 is drinking so nicely now!
Classic left bank nose, with black currant, damson plum, cedar wood, but also some wet earth & turned leaves creeping in. And just a hint of cigar. Savoury, juicy, enticing.
Medium bodied on the palate, with beautiful purity & nice depth, the tannins dusty fine, mellowing already, the acidity adding a juicy kick. Savoury, poised with quite some elegance and huge drinkability.
Exactly what I imagine when I think of a left bank Bordeaux.
Drinking beautifully right now & quite delish! — a month ago

Scandalous! — 2 months ago
Auction wine. Broken cork. Again. Wine was at base of the neck. I think cakebread got a batch of bad corks. No wine into the cork and they all broke right at the end. Not sure how it affected the wine but it’s been a consistent issue
Wine exhibited some decent fruit but no real depth or grip. Very smooth and medium body but missing some power and complexity expected from this site.

Dried redfruits (cranberry mostly?) aromas and flavors, resolved tannins, good acidity, mature but shows good length, should be great with the Wild King Salmon I’ll be grilling soon for our dinner!! — 4 days ago
