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 — 10 years ago

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. — 12 years ago

Super fresh all stainless. Round fruit. — 10 years ago
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
Great alone or with grapes and cheese — 11 years ago
