I didn’t pick up any of the Viognier in here, but fantastic anyways, and peaking for sure. Light strawberry, mushroom-earth, leather, perfectly resolved and feathery on the palate, but still with enough latent power and finesse to leave a long impression. Nice!

Jun 17th, 2018Mine, so easiest to pick out blind, the last of my 6-case. Like the Chave, but more red floral, the palate loamy with mushrooms and leather, hints of cinnamon, bloody iron. Kept improving in the glass, achieving a lightness and length its case siblings never reached. I still say drink up, with a decant. Outstanding.

May 15th, 2018An hour decant settled this down and knit the gorgeous acidity into a perfect, sexy, hedonistic place. This is singing with secondary aromatics (white and pink flowers, asian spice) and a broad, tense core of cherry, strawberry with meaty notes (it was perfect with pork belly). Endless finish.
