Last bottle of my 2018 SC.
Followed over two days. Juicy, ripe and balanced. Astounding value at $30. Haven’t found the signature TRB blood orange profile in these RM SCs, but that’s a small nitpick. Loads of red and black berry fruit upfront, boysenberry, red currant and dark florals. Mid palate was much better on day two as it bulked up and showed the nervy side of SC Pinot. It has a high toned/elegant profile while retaining weight. Stylistically it sits in between RRV and cool climate SC. Banging value, as always. Drink now or in the next 3-5yrs. — 10 months ago
Bright, crystal clear orange wine. Good tannins. — 5 years ago
funky earthy orange wine from the intimidating 7'1ft biodynamic producer Josko Gravner, excellent with food, notes of hazelnuts, orange peel, fresh peach, forest floor — 7 years ago
I was drawn to the description including caramel and creme brûlée. Delicious! Not too sweet nor too dry. The price makes it even better. Apparently it's hard to come by so I'm buying up all I can tomorrow!!

Delicious dessert wine, I love this chateau and the 2006 vintage is lovely and demonstrates the elegance of Sauternes, deep gold color, enchanting nose of: key lime ,marmalade mandarin , orange peal, minerals, dried apricot, honey, canned peach, honeydew melon, citrus blossom, and honeysuckle, full body, creamy texture and lovely sweetness balanced by pleasant acidity and delightful sweet nectar finish. My score 91, drink in small format to 2023 , normal format to 2030 — 5 years ago
Tannin rich and heady on the nose - this is a serious orange wine for red wine fans. — 8 years ago
No better rose on the planet imo. Strawberry, orange peel, citrus blend in the nose. A small hint of secondary age in the nose. Will easily go another 10-15. — 9 years ago
Serious orange wine, a real show stopper-more in red world, glorious & not sure why exactly — 9 years ago

Wow. Orange wine! — 5 years ago
Peach lemonade in the glass. A touch cloudy and gray, but delicate looks. Slightly astringent and hot on the nose. Nectarine pit, cloudberry, and a touch of acetone on the tongue. Almost orange wine like spices and spark. Surprising and lovely. Abso-frickin-ideal for pairing with briny seafood as well as something richer like a Malaysian honey BBQ chicken with mango salsa. — 5 years ago
Dried lemon rinds. Grapefruit, orange, honey and potpourri. The palate is lemon rind and pith. Orange zest. Saline and hints of honey. Reminds me of a fino sherry, but with more moderate acidity. Long finish. — 8 years ago
Really enjoy this one. Lots going on. — 9 years ago

Amazing how these Sauternes age in a beautiful way. Dark orange color and graceful sweetness with fruity goodness. — 6 months ago
