Slight soy, a sea spray/salty character. Lavender rosemary rose petal potpourri. Palate is stunning as well. Elegant and powerful at the same time, texture and balance beautiful. An amazing wine. Still alive and giving. All AxR1 vines, 8x10 spacing, organically farmed for six years. Beautiful, stunning!! — a month ago

Deep, rich, honeyed, so distinct from the LeFlaive. A significant oak presence. Is nice, there is balance even with the oak, which is apparent. Could not drink a lot of this - a bit much. — a month ago
