Fresh, softly fruity, not sweet. Perfect in day time, should drink cold. — 7 months ago
Bought at Pine Orchard 9/23 $24. Rich berry flavors. Tannins have probably mellowed too much. Would like to try again with a younger Vintage. — a year ago
Just, just... just wonderful.
Initially, I get quince and a slight licorice that isn’t overpowering. Peach, of course.
The intangible here is just the well rounded character of the whole thing. It’s hard to nail down, but it’s got this savory, sweet, umami, bitter, acid quality to it that just brings a sip to the very edge of paradise as a flavor, a taste, an experience.
I’m glad I went for the gold here. I love drinking the canned sake and the 300 mL bottles when I’m going solo, so I upped the ante a bit and went for the mid-tier higher selection and it paid off. — 5 years ago
Let’s see:
Single vineyard
45-year old vines
A fantastic vintage
A reputable producer
Aged in American and French oak barrels for 22 months, 25% new
Additional 6 years in bottle age (at time of purchase)
How is $15 per bottle possible?!
The wine itself is fantastic as well. Ripe black plum, blueberry, licorice, cinnamon, black tea leaf, and hint of dried mushroom on the nose. Supple and balanced. No rush but very delicious now. — 5 months ago
Fruity bright. Made in a daiquiri like cocktail. — 9 months ago
No bitterness or any minerality. Just crisp, clean, and flavors of white grape, lemon and lychee hint. Long lasting finish. Longer than I’d expect. — 6 months ago
Strawberry, minerality, slight herbaceous note, floral, crush worthy rose. — 8 months ago
