Deep ruby with hint of garnet. Nose is clean big blackberry dark plum current flinty. Med acid med tannin med to high body. Big bold blueberry, blackberry current tobacco flint minerality bordering on some mint. Signature white pepper sting afterwards. Very good. Could cellar for another seven years but good now after seven. — 8 years ago
This just gets better and better. The integration and balance is sublime and with ripe dark fruit, fresh acid, and fine powdery tannin, this will age beautifully. Seamless, silky, and long. Amazing p/q with cellaring. — 3 years ago
Here’s one I (helped make) earlier. 2016 Floris, loving the oak. Happy vintage memories #v16brucedukes — 7 years ago
2014 vintage cellared until yesterday. — 3 years ago
Tropical fruit and white flowers, medium acid, if there’s oak it’s not noticeable. Good but I still find Chardonnay is rarely my bag unless it’s deeply mineral like Chablis, which this ain’t. — 7 years ago
