NB: we popped what was left of this bottle after it had been "Coravined" (which is rapidly on its way to becoming a verb) for about four months. Only half of the bottle remained, so we popped it, poured glasses then decanted the rest.
Important to note that part of this experience because the wine had changed over he time of its first pour back in April of this year in the sense that while still potent & impressive, it seems to have fallen asleep a bit, and is not revealing its potential of rich, buttery lusciousness. Yet.
..:k, hold on ;).
It's beautiful, and as it breathes, opens and warms, it's blossoming into all the expectations one demands to fill at this $$$. +$. And it's growing as I type.

So with the obvious caveat in having the Coravin acting as our variable in the equation - she held up well enough for us to relish in it tonight. To swim around in the lusciousness of the Russian River Valley- even if we had to be quiet so as to not wake he folks who owned the pool. I snuck a kiss in there somewhere. Eventually & with care.

Throw some beautifully prepared artichokes and some crab legs into that Russian River Valley- and you got a STEW BABY!

Black cherries, rosemary, anise, mint, black currant, smoke, fallen leaves, a bit of funk, crushed rocks, touches of sweeter spices. Amazing balance of power, structure, and acidity on the palette. Immense value for the price. — 12 years ago

A very natural wine with low alcohol (12,5 %), very fruity, mild. Straw colour, unfiltered, not clear, like a light pear juice. Overripe fallen apples, peach and honeybush tea with light scent of vanilla sticks on the nose. Fresh, full aroma of yellow peach, Japanese pears, muscat, quince. A powerful finish, the medium acidity slightly overpowers the extreme fruitiness. A demanding wine. I actually prefer the Intellego Chenin. — 11 years ago

First tried in 2011 and thought it tasted like the color purple. Much of the primary stuff has fallen away and it turns out there's an elegant wine beneath the '09 effusive fruit. — 11 years ago

Good balance between acidity, tannins and fruit. Fields in morning dew, with hints of crush fallen acorns and pepper in the nose. Pepper, blackberries and willow reed flavors. — 12 years ago
