Mint and eucalyptus undertones. Moutncoated in tannin. Nice combo and f fruit and earth. Will be so good in 5 years — 6 years ago

Must be at cellar temp!
The warmer this one gets the more things differ..
Smells is age - hazelnut skins and walnut shells
Slight saline at the start, medium bodied, cran/ras blend, Thai basil, slight gravelly finish with long lingering tannins. The acidity is a great accompaniment, and has a lime zest finish - Enjoyable.. — 3 years ago

Bright fruit, mineral, and salt. Big summer quaffer for cold salad, seafood (raw?) and appetizers. Drinks way above its weight (re: cost), if you're into floral, fruit. — 7 years ago
