Red fruit on the nose. Black cherry, raspberry on the palate. Opened 12 hours ago. Balanced, but still very young. Give it more time in the cellar. — 12 years ago
Amazing wine would not let it age past 2006 still maintains its body well but past 2006 I think would be too much age. — 11 years ago
I was really surprised to see beer bottle cap on a wine bottle. So it was unique for me as well as it was my first wine from Hawke's bay. Lifted with passionfruit and other tropical fruits and lime, floral and grassy notes as well. Rich texture. Long finish. Lively and very refreshing. — 11 years ago
Mellow and smooth we take it. I feel the need for food with this beverage and fortunately some sauerkraut sandwiches and hand rolls did ok for simple finger foods...but I feel like some more meaty food is needed here to flesh out the better nuances available in this drink, and some rice, of course. Preparedness is key, be forewarned. Greatness abounds and I was not prepared to handle this beautiful woman the way she wanted. — 11 years ago
Glad this one made it- mature, a little too ripe and died after 45 minutes #earthquakestains — 11 years ago
Though it didn't have the usual buttery oakiness I've come to expect from Mer Soleil Chardonnay, I was thrilled to taste such rich fruitiness. Silver comes bottled in a "cement" bottle to remind us that it was aged in small concrete tanks from France. This allows, like oak, a trace of oxygen to seep in which helps to enhance the flavor. Very bright fresh fruit characters. It was opened at our home in Bensalem during a romantic Valentine's Day dinner with 2 other couples. — 12 years ago

This Valdiguié rules. It is noticeably richer and more viscous than most of the Valdiguiés that I've had, but it was gorgeous. @crusewine — 11 years ago
