Twice this venomous viper has evaded review. She jumps out and thrashes, coils round and inculcates. A devil of a bite too! Seductive, deceptive nose of caramel creme, rosemary, bay leaf and cinnamon roll. Palatal acupuncture ensues, as you slowly succumb to the hot cinnamon oil and scotch bonnet burn of the first phase. Phase two brings cinnamon and grilled peach with brown sugar cobbles and scotch bonnet honey. And finally the nose and close converge in satin vanilla, cinnamon, cracked black pepper and ginger. .

Enjoying this way too much to write thorough notes. Creamed corn, golden delicious apple (fresh and dried), beeswax, chamomile, hay. flinty , saline finish. Fresh AF for an ‘06. Don’t want it to end. Had one of those food and wine pairing serendipity moments having this wine alongside maitake tempura in a ponzu dipping sauce where everything just clicked 🤯! — 3 years ago

Unusually fruit forward. Has extra depth this vintage. Some of the classic decayed mineral and even a touch of corn tortillas. I expect this will be spectacular in a decade — 3 years ago
Earthy and mushroom-y. Ate with ribs, Mac and cheese, corn casserole. Bought at Whole Foods. — 3 years ago
Full body yet fairly smooth finish. Paired with Asian beef bowl & rice, corn on cob, and sautéed asparagus too. — 3 years ago

A light gold edged hue- a touch of oxidation and not as fresh as the 15 montee alongside. Great minerality and focus. A touch of spice and corn. Very poised. Very good- yum — 2 months ago
