9.7

Out of this world and maybe best vintage ever for this wine. Nose is so complex and aromatic. Red fruits, tobacco leaf, freshly harvested tobacco, tweed jacket, cranberry bog, wet earth and so deep. Just stunning. Floral top notes now. Just amazing. 9.7 almost 9.8 nose. The energy on the palate is just incredible. Juicy and so fine. This is like silky beyond belief and utterly fresh and complex. It’s spice silky actually. What a finish and for a wine about finesse this has an amazing amount of material and a finish that doesn’t quit. — 3 days ago

Very complex, herbal-fruit character like crataegus, peach, tender rosemary or lavender leaf. Fantastic long creamy but gracile mineral taste!!! Kind of calcareous, but tender with flowers, nuts and herbs

Funky wine with golden raisin color. Raisin and grapefruit on the nose. Lots of earth tones and funk. Pairs well with lobster. — 3 years ago

9.3

Beautiful, explosive nose of pine needles, eucalyptus, cherries, forest floor and musk thus is a special wine. The pairing I don’t think was perfect, paired with spicy roast pork shoulder, but the wine was medium bodied, rose red with hints of purple. The palate is fresh, floral and light, but with vegetal and forest-y notes, with hints of soy glaze, plum, and grass notes on the finish. — 6 months ago

The best bottle of this vintage I’ve had. Was less wooly and I had no fears of it being too old. Gorgeous kinda toned down gewurz profile. And a very elegant texture. — 5 years ago
