Magnum. Intriguing, a lovely raspberry and pyrazene combination, so fresh, will open beautifully and be stellar with the lamb. Long on palate, a lovely sweetness to the fruit. A purity. I love this wine!. — 3 days ago

Very pretty, some lovely dried herbs, rose petal. Texturally beautiful. These wines have a depth with a lightness, a precision, a clarity, a sense of place. This is 15 years old and is still so fresh. — 3 days ago

Soft, a sweetness, saline, very new world. Tannins quite high, it seems to try to be soft yet serious. I love the salinity, but not the wine. — 15 days 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. — 2 days ago

A nice depth, some currant and dried fruit, some vegetative, currant and black raspberry.very lean, almost stripping, on palate. Some barnyard, I see and like that Bret character, and yet… — 3 days ago

Is quite extracted, powerful, of the earth and dried herbs and feels warm. A woody edge, not oak, but more plant wood. Nice, yet I still think the Calera wins. — 15 days ago
