Took a an hour or so to develop the green bell pepper note I was looking for. Smooth and balanced. Not quite the depth an old school Loire cab franc may provide, but slightly less tannic than those and easy to enjoy. Would decant next time—suspect there is more there. — 3 months ago

Fun wine. Strong oxidized notes with nuttiness. Floral acidity up front with an underlying hint of sweetness. Would love it if the flavors and aromas lingered longer. — 10 days ago
