Pop and pour. Sublime for bourgogne blanc. The reduction has blown off, and this is pure lime, citrus blossom, a touch of vanilla and a hint of almond/hazelnut. On the palate: fantastic acidity, weight and density. More citrus and stone and just caresses the palate. So elegant. At peak, imo. — 3 years ago

Inky garnet in the glass. Smoky bing cherry, clove and baking spices on the nose. Silky on the palate with vanilla and ripe raspberry, very fine tannins. Perfect pairing with Salmon in a Honey, Soy, Garlic and Dijon glaze! — 4 years ago

Peach-salmon hue. Tiny bubbles dancing in the glass. Red grapefruit, strawberry, raspberry, dried rose petals, toasted almond, freshly baked sourdough, yeast, ocean spray, chalk.

Beautiful conclusion to our anniversary weekend. Never stop celebrating the good. Thank you @Kate ADK for the delicious gift 🙏

Massive is an understatement. Lively red and black fruit, yet a subtle elegance behind the extraction. While still young, drinks quite well. Great Paso juice. Kudos to @bookervineyards — 5 years ago

Smells like an oloroso Sherry.. Baked apple/pear cinnamon, Marcona almond paste, caramel. High acid, pronounced intensity, long finish with pronounced minerality. — 6 years ago

Ripe to bruised yellow apple, mushrooms, saffron, almond and walnuts husk. A but if phenolic grip on the finish. Will revisit day 2 cause it needs time to air. DAY 2: much better! Even more pure fruit, high concentration, slightly dried yellow flowers, less almond and some candied apple. Should have saved more for day 2! — 4 years ago

Deep gold to amber color. Beautiful clearly defined nose of green apple, hint of almond powder marzipan and buttered toast. Medium body with high acidity. Leads to an ultra long finish with mouthwatering fresh acidity. Really awesome stuff. Out of Magnum. — 5 years ago

Golrious balance. Cork was compressed and showing age, though I stored this in my cold cellar. Nose of yellow fruits and flowers. All of a piece, though feeling a bit spendy.
Happy Mother's day to my wife, paired w almond croissants and truffled eggs. — 5 years ago

Ok, this bottle is super tight/young, so we're decanting to help the process.
Interesting pineapple/honey/almond-like nose. Palate has ripe stone fruits with a great acid balance, fresh. I'm thinking this is going to need many hours to reveal its true self.

48hr Update: Nose is quite mellow today, noticable honey and almond aromas, faint sweet pineapple lingers still. Palate has abandoned most of the acidity, a white pepper-like spice or equivalent is now present, still has a bit of fresh peach. I think this bottle needs lots of air and at least two more years before it fully connects. — 7 years ago
