Not on purpose, but here we are at post 3,000. Love the community and hope @Delectable Wine will invest in proper attention/maintenance moving forward.
Enjoyed next to the 2020 Kobayashi Viognier (if you aren’t on the list, join now or forever hold your peace). I’ll review at a later date, but my goodness do I love their wines.
For me, this falls in between 2016 (more truffle and savory vibe) and 2018 (tropical and creamy) perfectly. The 2016 seems to really want a decant, and while this would have potentially been a bit more open, it was ready to party at pop. 38 roussanne/ 31 petit manseng/ 18 chard/9 Viognier/4 Muscat. Straw, almost gold in the glass. There’s a lemon cream note initially before it turns more spiced pear and truffle honey. Texturally divine. The roussanne really sizzles on the palate showing orange blossom and roasted cashews. Chard and Viognier work well together as the finish melts away (in a good way) with vanilla mint. This is another delicious SQN white, and one that will do just fine in your cellar for another 3-5yrs. — 8 months ago
