summer, 2006, mid-sentence, tidal, we laughed about it after, but thoughts were escaping, tender red, the streetlight hinted sweet, but we held eachother close, chilled breeze marched on, our hoodies steadfast — 9 years ago
While the Lechet is more seashell/tidal wave, the Vaillons is more spicey, exotic and perfumed. Terrific confectionary sugar on green apple really leap out of the glass. Bitter lime. Very aromatic. Palate is layered, deep and complex with nice finishing and structuring acidity throughout. Nice fruit pith on the finish. Terrific. — 10 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 — 10 years ago
Thirty minute decant. Wow. Opulent fruit: currants & plums come in a tidal wave. Tobacco and some spice box with a little green bell pepper. Finish lasts at least 30 seconds. Soft as velvet. Held up great over two days. Tremendous. — 11 years ago

Imagine Grape Ape getting washed over by a plumb tidal wave and you will be close. In my case he was surfing on a 12pz bone on filet. Not enough marble to keep this beast afloat but the truffle butter was enough to do the trick. Bring the marble to this party and be sure to save a bite so as not to be left alone in the later rounds. If you are down for a fruit bomb battle royal then you have arrived. — 9 years ago
Very original. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 with 13 YEARS in sur lie. Lots of tropical fruit: pineapple, passion fruit; stone fruit: ripe peach; notes of ripe cherry, Granny Smith Apple, intense creamy mousse and creaminess. A delicate perlage and acidity with medium finish. Slightly sweet aftertaste. You can't compare it with a Pinot Noir or any another grape with traditional method. Normally in USA they tend to do the opposite for reds (judge Pinot noirs as cabs - big mistake). In this case (bubbles) is the reverse. — 10 years ago

Super cheesy and savory and perfect with triple cream cheese. Very little fruit on the nose...some currant in the reverse olfactory — 9 years ago
Tsssssss. Eating this with reverse ravioli carbonara, Jamon that eats truffles and chestnuts for a living AND filet mignon. Fantastic wine. This is what wine should be. — 9 years ago

One of several excellent white wines from Nova Scotia's newly designated Tidal Bay Region. A distinctive fresh taste combined with a slightly fruity nose make this one, one of the best in the province. — 12 years ago

Opened up nicely over 2 hours. A bit austere at first. Very pleasing. Kept coming back to tidal pool notes. Not really fruit driven in any way except maybe lemon. A good vintage not a great one. — 8 years ago
