I’m a fan of SA and Loire Chenin so I was looking forward to this ✔️

👁: pale lemon with a tinge of green
👃: strikingly ripe fruit. Candied pineapple, green apple (but they kind that’s already turned yellow from ripeness), lemon, and butterscotch
👅: the same ripe tropical fruit, including mango and lychee. Balanced with an intense but well judged acidity. Smooth and knitted together quite well. A touch of bitterness on the finish.

Unexpected given ripeness, but this really works for me. 😋 — 5 years ago

Happy Sangiovese Friday everyone.

I’ve had this wine before, but every time I open a bottle it gets better and better. What a wine for SF! 😁

👁: light ruby, very delicate
👃: so sense and complex. Layered with red fruit, bay leaf, leather, herb, cedar and spice.
👅: absolutely stellar. Smooth and very polished. Great freshness with smooth trippy tannins. Densely layered flavour. Long juicy finished with a touch of spice.

I’m just blown away by this. I’m pretty confident this is heading to a 5🌟 future. 😋 — 5 years ago
