Dark and spicy — 15 days ago
Established in 1997 by the partners of Far Niente. Medium lemon color with aromas of tropical and stone fruit with citrus and toasty oak notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and peach, lemon zest, vanilla oak and wet stone notes. Nice balance with tangy acidity on long finish ending with fruit, oak and rich minerality. Classic, very nice! — 2 months ago

Corked broke. Again. Constant issue with older Nickel wines and particularly this one
Thankfully wine was solid. Starts off quite juicy and plush.
With a little time and the right food pairing, it provides a little more grip and flavor.
For me - this took some caviar and salt to really get it going and then it was at another level. Rating is with caviar. Definitely 2-3 pts less without it. — 5 months ago

2023, 30 min in with a medium rare steak: great addition. Fine balance matching the subtle tenderness of the meat. Enjoying it. — 18 days ago
