Yummy fizzy SL wines, not as plain/dry as some but would buy again. Mineral. — 3 years ago
Hazy double IPA . Good balance. Not too sweet but no citrusy either. Good taste for the alcohol level and value — 3 years ago
This is WAY better than the 9.0 ratings I’m seeing. And day 3 is showing decent as well. — 2 months ago
One of the bottles I provided for a co-hosting with Mark at the City Club wine group.
Always a treat to open a birth year wine. I had this last year and this bottle seemed to have more stuffing. It was less muddled/clay driven and more distinctly black fruit and spice heavy. Next to a ‘79 Montelena, it wasn’t as full-bodied, but it certainly had more tannin. The tannic finish was quite pronounced and bolstered throughout the lunch. Mid-palate was herbal and black currant with faint tart red fruit and tobacco. Fun to drink. — a year ago
