Was a bit tight after opening but really showed nicely after some airtime. About 30 mins to 1 hour was great. — 20 days ago

Yowza! Tastes like Meursault. The age is perfect. Strawberries, apricots, marzipan (rose and almond sweet) with petrol. Mineral, deep- changes and evolves. Beautiful Chardonnay. — a year ago

Friskt rejäl och hård bra syra. Viss skalkontakt och antydan till tanniner. Ljust haögul färg. Spikigt elegant Lite platt smak nästa dag- liksom ett vanligt bra vitt vin. Detta bekräftar menyn doc favorit. Fortfarande toppen dag 3. Ganska divergent för 13 eur på salumeria Rocco Neapel. Jävla skit stavning suveränt pris och vin — 8 months ago

One of the wines I supplied for an annual lunch hosting (co-host this time). The best score for this is “not ready”, but 94 represents where I felt this was in its evolution…long way to go.

On a table with a burgundy, Bordeaux and Napa cab, THIS won most expressive aromatics. Could smell this before I even sat down! Deep translucent ruby/purple in the glass. The whole cluster/stems dominate initially before giving way to dark potpourri, violets, red and black berries, and herbs. It’s got spiced-fruit and grip on the palate (kudos to the stems), with some blood orange and a little licorice showing up at the finish. Great acidity to help this cruise a while. I don’t have a lot of experience with Platt (I know AG gave this 100pts) so I’m not sure if this is Platt style vs RM style, but it’s the most expressive RM Pinot I’ve had in a while (if not ever).

Decanted two hours. I’d recommend at least that if opening now or holding 5-7yrs for the real fireworks. My only 2018, but have a few newer ones that I’ll forget about for a while. — a year ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Pale lemon yellow color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with floral and spicy mineral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach and pear with citrus and nutty notes. Medium+ finish, lively crisp acidity, ending with fruit, spice, nuts and citrus mineral character. — 4 months ago

Knowing Platt and VV’s reputation, I wanted to give this a spin.

My expectation for a VV white was along the lines of their reds (polished, suave, opulent), but this came across in a different style. Bright yellow in the glass with fresh citrus and honeysuckle aromatics. On the palate this trends more pretty/elegant vs powerful/opulent…if trying blind, I think I’d place this in Oregon. Lemon cream, lemon-lime and a small presence of tangerine with sea salt. Oak is there to frame it but not obtrusive. Good vein of acidity down the middle with a crisp mineral finish. Well made.

I’d like to try another vintage since the notes are so strong, but at the $125+ range, not sure I’m there on a QPR basis. — 7 months ago
