Attractive herbal, black fruits and meaty aroma upon Burgundian mineral acidity, peppery spice, and red fruit flavors. On top of that, good complexity, smooth tannin, well balanced. — 10 years ago
Fabulous. Gold color, citrus and mineral nose. Flavors of citrus, stone, and flowers. Tons of acid and minerals. Complex texture. This is great wine! Drink it if you have a chance and cellar it if you can. One of my favorites. With first of the season Alaska halibut. — 11 years ago
