Flinty and crisp on the nose nose and palate. A nice and typically French personality with lemon rind and copious amounts of salinity. Nice weight and texture with more brine than sweetness. Drinking well right now, but will sail on for another 7-10 years, with ease. — 12 days ago

This is for @Timothy Lynch!
Went to Pastis, NYC and came away inspired by their excellent Tuna Crudo. Mine is a variation on that theme with Salmon coming along for the ride. Curly parsley, green onions, tarragon, coarse mustard and white wine vinegar provides the structure for the sushi-grade fish. The Ultramarine lifts the dish with its taut acidity and Meyer lemon notes. Thrilled with the combination. — a month ago
Lacks the depth and presence displayed by the most recent vintages. More delicate with notes of honey, almonds and lemon zest on the nose and mid palate. Soft acidity suggests that you should take a look at these now. No complaints, but no accolades either. — 7 days ago

I’m surprised that Araljo had the temerity to bottle and sell what I consider to be absolute grape juice. Looks like a Pinot in the glass, and continued to underwhelm. Embarrassingly awful. — a day ago
