Delicious bright red and tropical fruit. Nicely balanced acidity. Still young but drinking well after a short decant. — 6 years ago

Rich and tropical, awesome sauv blanc. I would put this above Realm and La Pelle but a step below Melka. Still want to do a side by side tasting with some sea food to get a more accurate comparison. Thanks @Shay A for putting me on to this!

Edit: bumping up my rating after this had more time to open up

This probably needs a full day in a decanter to really strut its stuff. You can tell it’s all there, it just needs time — 6 years ago

This wine is insane.

Day 1: double decanted for 8hrs and poured off two glasses at the end of the night (didn’t actually have any because I was too drunk, NYE)

Day 2: spent the day in the fridge and we finally got to try. Huge wine but super fresh. Just layers and layers of velvety fruit and smoked meats.

Day 3: spent another day in the fridge with only a glass remaining and this badass was still getting better.

Obviously it needs time but wow!

This is different than most 14’s. Dark and brooding, huge mid palate and finish. Awesome — 6 years ago
