Slightly smokey - a real lovely surprise, goes down so smoothly and leaves a pleasant after taste - not sure why it is mentioned as being from France - wine of origin is Robertson South Africa and proudly so! — 9 years ago

After a day trying to keep up with a 7 year old biking along the Elk River my wife and I decided to stop at the Bridge Bistro and have a sandwich and adult beverage. This IPA"Fat Tug" from Drift Wood Brewery in Victoria, BC. Is in my humble opinion the "Gold Standard" for BC IPAs. 🇨🇦🍻 — 8 years ago

During July 2014 a good friend received a Coravin as a gift. Called me over and asked what 6 bottles did I think should be tested. The cynical SOB that I am had my eyes heading straight to this bottle. Needless to say I was surprised when this tested "good". Fast forward to today and I am happy to say my cynicism proved wrong again. A beautiful nose of ocean spray and shells with hints of spearmint like scents. More round than sharp with flavors of sea water and green apples that lingered very long. Got a little fat after 90 minutes. — 9 years ago

2013. Superb. Was expecting infanticide and discovered a prodigy. Lighter side of Syrah, perfectly delineated after 1 hr decant. Feminine, lithe lens on allspice, lavender, bacon fat. Swathe of fine tannins. This will evolve for decades, so nicely structured, but worth trying now. As good as the pricier VV I tried last year. — 10 years ago
