Seems to go down every year … but still good. 90. — 7 days ago

Apple, peach, and tropical fruits. It’s OK — not enough mineral or citrus, texture is thin. 87. — 18 days ago

Nose: brambly cassis, graphite.

TASTE: the nose plus charcoal and lavender. Wow! So much purpley goodness. A delight! 94. — 22 days ago

Color is a little darker than I expected!

Smells like red apple and seaweed…and cured turkey.

Tastes very apple-y, but more of a sweet apple than a tart apple. Some cherry. A little toast and a slight champagne-y quality. Enjoyable. Good deal for the pricier liquor stores in the area I am visiting. 89. — 23 days ago

9.1

Shockingly good for the price ($34 at a nice restaurant — an American wine!). Good acidity really makes it. Still good two days later! 91. — 15 days ago

9.5

Nose: old wood, tobacco, charcoal.

TASTE: awesome structure, cassis, pomegranate — old enough to have some of that “parchment” quality I associate with age. 95! — 22 days ago

8.9

Nose: cooking spices, peppers, dark berries.

Taste: nice acidity, peppers (dry, not sweet), savoury spices (I do get the paprika claimed on the label!), dark berries, beeswax. Not my preferred style but well made — and paired well with tacos! 89. — 23 days ago

Tastes like simple unoaked Chardonnay. Meh. Wine guy steered me wrong on this one. 85. — 18 days ago

Not bad! Crisp and a little toasty. Pear. Nice texture. 89. — 19 days ago

9.2

Stone fruit, toast, and tangerine — a little saltwater. Nice texture. The brut (vs extra brut) works really well here. Super tasty. I think … 92! — 22 days ago
