2022/2. This was the first bottle of this that I’ve had that seemed like it might be closing - if only a bit. — 2 years ago

Is there a better $25 Red Burg out there? — 4 years ago
A shy nose with subdued green apple, a hint of green reine Claude plum, very fresh & pure.
On the palate this is defined by the juicy, electric acidity - so fresh, pure & alive. Great depth and definition with a beautiful mineral backbone. Amazing with food!
Great stuff! — 5 months ago
Deep red color. Bright aromas and flavors of red berry/cassis fruit, wet soil, dark chocolate and baking spices. A pronounced vanilla note on the mid-palate. Well balanced but a bit short on the finish. Very smooth tannins. Young and fruit forward. Could benefit from additional bottle age. Thank you for sharing this one, Chris B! — 6 months ago
2022/8. As I’ve noted lately, it feels like the de Villaine whites have added another level in the last several years - deeper, more complex and more satisfying, without sacrificing any joyousness and without trying to be Meursault or anything like that. — 2 years ago

I agree w/ @Alan Weinberg - a great bottle, especially for the price. 2010 still drinking great with years to go. — 8 months ago
