9.1

Intense. My first time having this variety of wine. Very much got the figs and dates and prunes and other dried fruit. Some people talk about tobacco but frankly I don’t get it. Bracing acidity, definitely kept the sweetness from being too cloying or flabby. Had it with venison sausage and sweet potato pasta in a heavy cream sauce with which it went nicely. — a day ago

9.2

Elegant and restrained. When we first popped the cork there was just an overwhelming scent of violets and concentrated fruit. That slide quickly and turned into a lovely and tight wine. Flavors of both cold resting and warm slightly roasted fruit, solid structure they didn’t have an any harsh tannins but also was warm and welcoming without being flabby. Had it with of all things a venison sausage carbonara and it complemented it beautifully. — 2 days ago

Definitely much better after a day of opening up. Little harsh at first blush but mellows into some chewy fig and light cooked fruit flavors. Round finish and the nose a bit like green persimmons or younger unripe fruit which was really different. — 11 days ago

8.7

A little lacking in depth and complexity. I mean I hate to leave a meh review for a wine that was so darn expensive online but it took a while to open up and then it never really developed to be on that. What was there was bright and fun and enjoyable but really lacked any depth. Luckily it wasn’t flabby and didn’t fall apart, just not much of a nose and didn’t have any follow through. — 5 days ago
