Love the cheap wines that can do this! So fresh and crisp in their youth but give them a few years and all the elements just melt together. fruit, acid and texture become a comfy well rounded, united experience.

This Merlot gives the sense of melt-in-your-mouth goodness, like a smooth chocolate or the finest of cheeses, and it most likely would go swimmingly with those very items! — 11 years ago
100% Chardonnay, 10% fermented in large Slavonian oak barrels. The star of the show tonight. Always difficult to compare anything against a fleet of Champagnes but honestly this is top class, high ranked up in the Sparkling hierarchy. Precision, detail, concentrated but also restrained at the same time. Warm brioche, almonds melt deliciously with notes of preserved/candied fruits. Liquid Panettone, this is a real stunner! — 10 years ago
Lovely, delicate PN, doesn't melt your face. Chris Bratcher is making food-friendly, Burgundian style Pinots. — 10 years ago
Lots of glycerine, lemon oil, white peach and vanillin. Just a tad too oaky IMHO, but I loved the freshness and purity of the fruit and its broad, viscous mouthfeel. Great wine, almost excellent.
Even better on day two! Oak starting to melt into the wine. — 10 years ago
Such a soft, sensual sauvignon blanc, that really opens up as it warms. Love the jalapeño stone fruit nose, mineral palate w that sauvignon blanc acidity but a touch of neutral oak and some definite lees influence that make the finish seem to melt in your mouth. — 11 years ago

Crazy mix of new world brawn with old world. Mature fruit leads to melt oxidized finish — 10 years ago
