Opened and decanted for 2 hours before dinner and then really only opened up and truly hit expectations around the 3rd hour when paired with wagyu strip steaks.

This wine was savory tightly wound and tannic at first. Didn’t show much fruit until after the long decant and then it really changed.

With time, the fruits shown through with great complexity and great balance for the savory elements.

Good except it’s missing the fruit. You can tell the wine has everything else but the fruit is gone and clearly faded — 3 days ago

Pretty dark and savory. Herb notes and tight grip to it. Might need more air time to showcase. Might also need some richer food. — 22 days ago

Wow. This blanc de noirs was wild

Hits you right in the face at the first sip with bright and expressive flavors. Some strawberry and other red fruits.

A little sweetness (which is fascinating for zero dosage ) that came across as cotton candy to me.

enjoyed this over 2 hours and every sip was delicious.
