Difficult to pinpoint the aromas at first and I wasn't sure if it was because of the reductive style or it's complexity. No one says this but it initially reminded me of the moment when I opened corn/maize chips as a kid. I did pick up sandalwood but it was too subtle for me to think George Noellat. A friend had mentioned toffee. Given we were going left and right, this suggests how different this wine was from the rest. Very impressive for Maxim's second vintage and maybe the best 2011 I've had so far. Shall be on the lookout! — 6 years ago

Like a toned-down Rioja. A touch of maize on the nose. Otherwise, acidic, tannic, and dominated by blackberry fruit and wood. — 9 years ago

Bottle was not in the best condition but here goes: Golden amber, rather complex nose comprising of walnuts, haystack, sudachi, maize and buckwheat. Not as luscious as I expected but still oily and silky. Happy CNY. GXFC! — 7 years ago
