Nose: peach apple. Lovely as it opens. White flowers an hour in.
Palate: silky. Elegant. Very bright. Green apple. No oak. Very good deliciousness. Minerals as it opens.
Great finish. Long. Bright.
Burgundian in approach but alt burgundy in flavor profile. A wonderful addition to the cellar. — 2 months ago
Super lush aromatics.
Well balanced. Refreshing. Light for an IPA. Straight and simple well made beer. — a year ago
Every wine from Martin Woods is a treat. Grassy, lemony nose, almond candy in the background, mineral, white/yellow flowers, stone fruits.
Very interesting cooperage, both French and Oregonian oak. But, no buttah.
A crisp mouthful indeed, delicate.
As it warms it fills out. Never heavy.

This really does have Chambolle character. See Lyle’s notes. Light in color, bright, some tea notes but for the most part beautiful fruit, touch cherry, raspberry, citrus… and very soft tannins - days later under my Argon line- faint prune plum. Wouldn’t age this - it is perfect now! — 4 months ago
See previous note from 2 years ago in November 2022 - this covers it all. Dusty plum and black currant, herbaceous and intense - in some respects more SA than WA. An unbelievable Trophy Cabinet from Wine Shows around Australia. I won’t list them all - a few highlights are Best Cabernet and Best Red Wine at Royal Adelaide 2014; Best Cabernet or Bordeaux blend at Royal Melbourne 2014; Best Red Wine Royal Hobart 2014. This is just a cross section. This was the 2nd of 6 purchased. Will cellar through to the early 2030s. — 8 months ago
Very nice chambourcin. Rose petals and spiced nose. Moderate body, slightly sweet with cherries, raspberries, strawberries and spice. Soft finish. Drinkable on opening and day 2. — a year ago

Consistent with prior notes. Maybe adding a little gravitas/depth. Still super fresh. — a month ago
