I really liked this. And I am a fan of the obscure charbono grape. Starts out tough and rough but interesting. With a lot of air (I tasted over a few days)... the tough dissipates but all the interesting bits linger. If you imagine what that label taste like... you got it. — 14 days ago

Insane spices on the nose. Confectionery cherry fruit. Smells like a Gamay cotton candy machine. Palate is ripe and explosive. Shows some of the 18 “lack of focus” but is pure and linear as well. Was more focused in 17 and I presume 19. Juicy and clean. Doesn’t quite have that ethereal, compact quality it usually has. Also a hint of funk/barnyard on the nose. Showing a tiny bit of heat as well . — 2 months ago

Creamed apple, peach, candied lemon on the nose. white flowers and honeysuckle and a little smoke. All of these come back on the palate with a little vanilla and cream.

Nicely balanced and good with chicken pot pie. — a month ago

Very happy to have received this in the March wine share because the last time we had it, my husband drank the entire bottle save for one glass lol 😅😋 — 3 months ago

Loved this wine. Super floral, so pretty. Had a touch of RS, which was absolutely perfect with Mexican. This wine would pair well with a lot of different types of cuisine, and the price is right. Pairs like Riesling. — 3 months ago

shockingly young and good. Sadly opened for non-wine knowledgeable folk who drank but a sip . . . — 19 days ago

The. Real. Deal. Very firm tannin, as expected. Fine grained and supple. Such a fantastic nose, it certainly delivered all that is promised. If only my time machine was working today I’d have gone forward ten years for a taste... — 2 months ago

Just a sick wine. What a nose. Confectionary green apple. Tree bark. Slate. So complex and alluring. Some light spice and such intense minerality. Some gorgeous vulcanized rubber, insane apple juice, like God’s apple juice. Palate is a dream. Sappy, complex and concentrated and the key is these are more akin to the Spatlese of 25-35 years ago than today’s sugar bombs. It finished dry and almost with some foie gras. Tingling and electric acids and such a brilliant, complex crescendo of a finish. And it finishes DRY. But it’s so obviously a Spatlese. Hot Tub Spatlese Time Machine. Amazingly clean wine. Palate is 2/3 minerals and 1/3 fruit. The balance is superb. The whole thing is just beautiful.

Wow acid and structure after many hours open and length increases. So so good. What a pure, slapping WSS. Genius. — 2 months ago
