All 88 bottles of the 2022 vintage of this wine were bought out by the Meritage Wine Market in Encinitas / the US allocation. Amitee Wines. And the 2021 is gone as well. Sadly few people will taste this wine. The owner took several cases of the 2021 home. I got 3 bottles. A profound Volnay - lots of stem influence, Oregano, thyme, lime, crushed limestone and elderberry. A little rough around the edges but will be superb in 5 years or so. — 2 days ago

This is an oddball from the Gaia team and quite $$$. The half empty wine- bottle gained weight and flavor in my fridge door over a full week. Touch bitter, apricot, stone fruits, still very fresh and alive, citrus notes, touch honey 🍯 and some sprinkles of nuttiness. I wonder how this will evolve over the next five to ten years? It certainly has the stuffing to do so - kind of a sleeper wine. Given its evolution in the fridge, (shaken but not stirred à la James Bond). — 7 days ago

14.5%. 🍎 apples, ripe, a big wine. Really well done yet over the top for me. Apple pie. A fantastic wine for asian food! I had a hard time with this one! On one side I was smitten and on the other side I was wondering what could this wine be with this quality grape material picked earlier and therefore less alcohol and more elegance? — 12 days ago

Ok sorry don’t fully agree with Scott on this one. This tasted flat for the first hour and it was disappointing. Kept the almost empty bottle for 24 hours i. the fridge. Anise, quite strong Jasmin, stone fruit, touch bitter - super elegant. and refined. This might just turn out to be awesome with time - who knows? I will buy more and keep it just to see what happens. Pricy retail is 125$. 13%. — 2 days ago

1L. Not my style. Ok over all. Juicy and big, chocolate overtures. Dark berries, mostly sweet blackberries, tastes pretty stemy but i assume this has no stems. Chassis. 14.2%. — 3 days ago

12.5%. Fantastic, Passionfruit, dried apricots, plenty of TDN (1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene). Tannic, acid, touch sweet. So good! — 11 days ago

“I see everyone is having a productive morning... Tip of the spear. Edge of the knife... Crack of my ass!" Well this sums it up. Quite stinky at first. Oxidized and pale. But give it 3 hours and this wine blows your socks off. Alas at its peak drink now. If you want to learn more read previous notes. This is one of the best Burghs out there. — 2 days ago

Few notes from others on the 2022. This it happens to be very very good for 37$. 13.5%. Lacks a little bit of heft and elegance - but otherwise really well done and at this quality level who can argue with the price. Some nuttiness, lemon curd, sour mandarine, touch lime. This could be a great by the glass wine in any high end restaurant! — 3 days ago

Lacks a little bit secondary flavors of interest even after 5 years in the bottle. Might be in the Riesling dumm 🤪 phase. Citrusy. At 65$ just too expensive for what it is. — 11 days ago

Actually very good for very few $$$. — 16 days ago
