This is so good. Interestingly enough, the server came over after opening and said it was flawed - did I want to try it and see? Uh yeah. It was fine/great. Does it have a powerful nose. Yeah. But flawed. No. No way. — 15 hours ago

Great nose. Out of the bottle it’s vibrant with strong flavors but there is no tannins hitting the cheeks or finish. Both wines tonight are fine but just not exciting enough to make you want another glass. Goes with the steak and pasta but not enhancing it. — 16 days ago

This was the best of the night for the crowd. Easy drinker and went best with the food. ChatGPT actually got this right. — 22 days ago

Definition of tropical fruits. If you said had fruit in it, I would buy it. Not sugary sweet but for sure a soft, fruity, pleasant wine. I prefer a bit more acid or at least the liveliness that brings. This read flat to me. — 16 days ago

It’s a classic. I thought it got better as it chilled off. It was a bit syrupy and sweet at first. Cooled off it was delightful for me. Interesting as the other bottle was the opposite. — 22 days ago

Was better with the chill off in my view. As it got colder, I thought it seemed a bit thin and lost flavor. With the chill off the flavors came out, had a bit more weight and went well with the fattier fish. — 22 days ago
