Just a classic drop dead nose. Big olives. Green and Kalamata. Almost a tapenade mixed with black and red berry fruit. Some wonderful game notes. Awesome granite and tiny stone minerality. By far the most open 18, at least aromatically I’ve had in a while. Palate is ripe and a super juicy with blood red berry fruit that is vivid and super pure and then finishes with a mean granitic streak. Then more fruit after that with olive and a granite undertone. This is classic, fantastic and complex. JC Marsanne deserves more attention for this bottling. Maybe best bottle I’ve ever had from him.

After a few hours this lost a touch of precision. 9.5 to 9.4. — 6 months ago

This is a rarity in its best shape, old vintage Vinas de Gain straight from the cellar of JC. There is life in the bottle, a delicate nose and a soft, smooth little sweet mouthfeel. Ok there are sings of age, but that’s more than ok in a 30 years old wine. — 9 months ago

True, almost old-fashioned chenin blanc. Quite complex stone fruit, nuts, cooked apples/pears, and herbaceous character. Somewhat oxidative style. Really quite fun. — 4 months ago

Wow. Tight at PnP but has opened and shown itself over last 24 hrs. Layered, mature, deep, luscious. Blackberry compote, leather, plum preserves, baking spice, white pepper. Still nice balance and solid tannins. — 8 months ago
