Not as clean or expressive as previous bottles. Will see if it opens up this evening. — 10 months ago
This is a totally brilliant wine. Just outrageous. The nose is a 10. Caramel, ocean air, salt, fresh wood shavings, burnt embers, tea leaves, just unreal. Completely blown away. You cannot ask for anything more. It’s so expressive yet so grounded. Absolute peak aromatic brilliance. It is so scary elegant you think it’s floating but that saltiness kicks in while swishing and then icing on a cake like a dry Mosel but unreal clarity and richness to the salty nutty flavors and just thunderous acidity. The elegance and inner mouth aromas and flavor intensity are just incredible. This and the 2010 are neck and neck. — 2 months ago

Golden yellow. High viscosity. Cherry like, oxidized flavor. Chalk and minerals. Herbaceous Spices. Matured citrus. Nuts. Medical herb acidity and sourness. Slightly honey sweet. Complexity even in young vintage. Savagnin Domaine Philippe Vandelle 19 @4675, Toscan, 240824-240921 — 10 months ago
I was pretty drunk, but this finished nice. — 3 months ago
Nutty, sweet, floral and bright. Bruised apple, pear, and spice. Very complex and juicy, with a pleasantly astringent finish. — 8 months ago
