Got all my fave Rioja notes but there was something green-stemmy there on the nose and palate that went one step past wet forest floor. Dunno if longer rest will help but I've got 3 more of these so we'll see. — 9 years ago
A step ahead of 1er cru Puligny with even more neutrality and nuances. It's milder, more subtled, backed with light smoky characters. On the palate, it tastes so balanced, with a touch of oak/cream, minerality driven, balanced sweetness/acidity. The everlasting finish is focused, but evolving and lively. Well structured and elegant — 9 years ago
Sweet oak is seem less. Reasonably narrow on the palate. — 10 years ago
Very nice smooth and flavorful. Pairs well with veal parmigiana. — 10 years ago

A pretty amazing northern Victorian cool climate Shiraz that does not have the normal price tag. Giaconda creates an interesting well priced wine with great fruit, balance and structure. — 12 years ago

This wine has an apple and lime interplay, with matchstick, pencil, lemon oil and hazelnut scents forever. Gas lamp, briny yellow olive, lemon pith, lemon seed, white clay, clean smoke. Such an easy, deft and focused wine. Puts some pep in your step. #Bourgogne #bourgogneblanc #frenchwine #whiteburgundy #whitewine #burglove — 8 years ago
Interesting wine- Pomelo and a slight tropical fruit. Round, medium palate of unripe green apple and minerals. Paired nicely with smoked paprika spiced ratatouille and polenta. Would not have guessed a Sauv Blanc when first opened. — 10 years ago
Wild fermented and without filtration, just beautiful — 10 years ago
