Mer koncentrerad än 15. Något sötare mer mogen frukt. Aprikosen är omissbar. Kanske ett årgång för källaren mer än 14? — 6 years ago
2006, men fick av oklara anledningar inte områdesklassas. Lite oxiderad doft. Dill, gräddfil, trä, mörk frukt. Mer balanserad i smaken med fattoner och integrerade chokladiga tanniner. — 7 years ago
Fruit driven with seducing upper palate acidity and gulpy mouth watering tension. Natural and pure. Holds oxidation for around one hour - be aware. — 7 years ago

Called southern Rhône off the bat. Not the cloying overblown kind but like perfect amount of serious and perfect amount of pleasure. Sense of place for sure 👌🏼 — 6 years ago

Aloha Champagne Fridays (this is the inaugural occasion). This is superb for around $20. The label lets your know this is dry all the way. 100% Chardonnay. Yellow apples and light caramel notes. Friends who take my reviews seriously (should proceed with caution) might prefer the Grüner Brut (Szigeti from Austria) from a little while back at this price point. But this is darn good. — 7 years ago
The Wagner family struck gold with this beautiful, buttery Chardonnay. Light acidity welcomed with an explosion of ripe papaya, toasted banana and lemon grass. Very interesting take on a delightful Chardonnay. Fresh, exotic, and rich. — 7 years ago
After the fab 09 Sass does this @ £137 stack up? Oh yeah 😍 blind I'd say this was top Bordeaux 👍

Oak butter, olive, green apple smell, taste has a really tart acidic bite, meatiness that creates a complex full linger of the described flavors — 5 years ago
Tried a sample at a wine tasting bar in store. Very pleasant - not aged in oak which I prefer. — 6 years ago
2010 Vintage. 12.5% Alcohol. Good acidity and flinty minerality. Best at cellar temp or slightly warmer. Good to go, don’t think this is going to improve much with further cellaring. — 6 years ago
Should always be on ice. — 7 years ago
Nice blend (48 CS, 41 Mer, 11 CF). Opened it a little cold but it got much better as it warmed up. This wine has really mellowed out. The fruit still comes through and the pepper from the Cab has softened. This is a very nice wine. — 7 years ago
