Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Neal and Judy Ibbotson have been viticulture pioneers in Marlborough with over 30 years of viticulture knowledge of the region. Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with herb and floral notes. On the palate flavors of peach, guava, grapefruit and pear fruit with some floral tones, lively acidity adding mineral notes. Medium+ finish ending, citrus, with fruit, herbal, floral and salty mineral notes. Nice! — 7 months ago

Solid CSJ, widely considered a Grand Cru equivalent. But for those who wonder if Fourrier and Rousseau’s CSJ’s are that much better to be more than double the price, the answer is yes. — 4 years ago

Excellent mature Burg of earth, ripe black fruits and a complex weighty yet stimulating and silky lithe texture carrying through to finish. Went well with the of best Mary fusion glass noodle chapchei with mackerel fish and hints at its broad utility. Aged well. 3 bottles bought in ‘05, GL32, hopefully have one more. — 5 years ago

Fun easy drinking red, juicy quality with a bit of tart to let you know it's natural. Amazing ruby red color. Very affordable. Good for a first step into the natural wine world. — 7 years ago

Blend of Semillon (70%) and Sauvignon Blanc (30%). Pale golden color. Aromas of citrus and tropical fruits, honey and white flowers. The palate is full of lychee, white peach and green melon flavors with additional notes of lemon and minerals. Hint of saline on the long and generous finish. Nice concentration and tension. Still quite vibrant and fresh tasting! Thanks for the bottle, Kase! — 7 months ago

Not a 1er Cru, but it should be! Lovely Vosne. Velvet, sappy cherry fruit with Vosne spice. Hints of vanilla and stones. A whiff of oak char on the nose, but less so on the palate. Decanted for 2 hours prior to consumption. — 4 years ago

Surprised at how tertiary this was, the cork looked perfect. Dark, savory and damp with musky fruit. Happy to enjoy this, even if I wish for more freshness and verve. — 7 years ago
