1hr+ decant. Medium red color with burnt edges. Flowers and cow shit dominate the nose. Lovely texture with a ton of terroir and character on the palate. Cigar box, cedar, and pencil lead throughout. Medium plus finish. Always a fav! — 13 hours ago

This was right in my wheelhouse! Deep, classic White Burg. Coats the mouth and very elegant. Wish I had more! See previous note. — 6 days ago
