Not called Baroness anymore this mid level HB 2025 vintage is exploding out of the glass. Took a minute to get my bearings instead of restraint and editing it’s a full out cabaret of a wine with lively melon gooseberries and passion fruit on an edgy substrate of salinity and limestone. Went incredibly well with prosciutto and honeydew. Once I adjusted I found it magnificent. — 3 days ago

This 1970 Bordeaux has no business being what it has become. Like a late harvest or better yet a fortified oxidized wine with a molasses color and initial texture that then thins out. All grapes seem to be going to Mecca at their own humble pace — a month ago

Had zero expectations for this wine at a party featuring lost bottles from your cellar. It was like a raspberry preserve that you canned 10 years ago and still has the essence of that years growing season. An unexpected joy. — a month ago

Julia brought right from this gorgeous vineyard. Ultra elegant stony lean restrained and nervous with lengthy underripe stone fruits and white pepper. Perfect with Camembert. — 18 days ago

Directly from South Africa from Julia. Deep kitsch cherry fruit with a grilled meat aroma. Nothing delicate here. Plums 5 spice, hint of orange. Will stand up to big meats. — 19 days ago

Tasted this 2023 without food and liked it but had trouble with its acidity and austerity. Then later had it with a Lasagna and it was perfect. The acidity mellowed with aeration and its delicate herbal qualities came through. Light bodied ruby colored, — a month ago
