The big boy of the group was the Aile d'Argent, the white wine from Mouton Rothschild. Big oak in the nose showing ripe, sweet fruits, vanilla, and loads of joie de vivre. With air the opened dramatically, revealing a depth and complexity that this wine was meant to show. It's largesse is even buffered with 30% blocked malo. — 8 years ago
A time for austerity. Tightly wound but will unfurl to reveal the largesse of #NapaStrong @StonyHillWine — 10 years ago

Showing well out of the gates with blackberry and earth on the nose that has more to reveal. Palate is deep and very 18, thick with fruit, tannins and mineral. But juicy and with terrific energy. Has the largesse of this 1er Cru which works well in a vintage like this. Curious to see how it evolves. — 25 days ago
