LV10. Pop and pour. Stunner, but better on day 1 than on day 2. On the nose: soft florals, vanilla, lemon, lime. On the palate: soft mousse, lovely acidity, grapefruit pith, wet stone and a solid finish. Clashed a bit with some of the heat in some plates last night, but fantastic on its own. Seems to be peaking. — 4 years ago
Sunday bubble with the missus. Zero dosage, harvested 2012, 80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay. Golden yellow in the glass, shy smell upon opening with saline component. After 10 minutes the nose opened up with chamomile. Palate consistent with the nose, fine bubbles, with brioche, nutty, saline, oxidative chalk flavors. Beautiful stuff!

This is their entry-level wine, 100% Palomino from the La Platera vineyard in the Pago Miraflores. Vines are about 25 years old and rooted in albariza lustrillos soils. Fermented and aged in stainless steel (no oak barrels, no flor). Intense, mineral nose with flinty notes. Dry, fresh, saline, elegant. — 3 years ago
This is LV14. No dosage. A year and a half since my last btl, roughly. On the nose: melon, with creme fraiche, basil, meyer lemon, meyer lemon zest. Not sure I would believe BdB blind. Color suggests skin contact...almost soft peach. On the palate: aggressive mousse at first...maybe needed a decant. Lovely acidity, lime, bitter citrus, a touch short, and very juicy on the dense and tangy finish. A stunner. — 5 years ago

Nose : gorgeous. A panoply of white flowers. Delicate. But intense. Expansive.
Palate: ocean spray. Brioche. Gods lemon soda. So good.
With more air … profound.
Like a 3 hour break the neck and cover. Wow.
There is a magic about this wine. — 5 months ago
