Weighty, meaty, smoky, mineral nose with underripe pineapple skin and green mango, burnt golden syrup, grilled pineapple & plantain or sugar cain.
Palate has a real bottom heavy weight, this is wine with a lot of mineral intensity and stoney depth along aniseed infused Asian pear, stony mineral finish, long with great depth — 11 years ago

9.1

Vibrant red fruits and lead, spice and licorice. Very very dry from the tannin and high acid but once it settles in it was real tasty. Stoney finish. — 11 years ago

9.4

Long stoney slate nose. Light floral. Layers upon layers of stone and river rock on the pallet. Unending and long finish. Relishing this one at Mattie's Tavern in Los Olivos. The food is outrageous. Grilled Avocado, ponzu, wasabi. Done. — 11 years ago

It was born as a heavy weight Jurassic indeed, tidal waves of flavor stoney fruit as hell, fresh young white peach pith, with clarified butter accents , quince paste texture, baked golden apple skins! Lemon chiffon cake dry backside, it lures me in paired well w/
Ahi , but might pair better with cake or lighter fish barramundi or tilefish — 11 years ago

9.2

A completely different experience than '10, rounder, but much lighter than the '09. Tons of mint and a beautiful texture with the classic Vatan stoney minerality. Won't last as long as '08-'10 but really good for early drinking. — 13 years ago
