Vin d’Ottawa

9.1

Buttery and just a bit edgy after four years of aging. Some apricot. It’s real nice but I wouldn’t wait any longer.

It works with soft cheese & fig jam. — a month ago

Nose is a combo of lovely sweaty earthiness, a hint of butter and incredible minerality. Some wild mint and also baking spices. Terrific complexity. Palate is so focused and so rich yet racy as racy can be with exhilarating acid and minerality. Bousey is just so good. Quiet guy and goes about his business and never fails to impress. Long finish that gets to every nook and cranny. So juicy and teeming with energy and endless depth. Fruit is so focused and oak treatment is masterful. Almost a 9.5. — 2 months ago

Intense violet nose. Black fruit bomb. Label says raspberry and anise also and can’t argue. Good value. Lots of flavor. — 6 months ago
