This bad boy needed airtime to let the phenols blow off. I think this was actually best with about an hour of air and closer to room temperature. Then it had much better balance and some of the oakville sun shine through — a day ago

This wine is really delightful. It has a nice softness and elegance to it. No overpowering oak. Smooth flavors that just complement the food.

Finally a WS chard without pre-ox — a day ago

Wow. Just wow

It starts off kinda like a deep and dark Rhône wine with a sweetness and kirsch like flavor but then in the palate it just explodes about 4-5 second later and there is a whole different level of expression.

Wine was best at about 1.5-2 hour decant and actually better without food. — 20 days ago

Delicious. Finishing bottle up with Sunday breakfast. Still has orange blossom and brightness to it.

Smooth and with a good sweetness to it. But not sugary. — 6 days ago

Delicious. This had a lot of fruit while still maintaining depth and a bit of complexity.

Tannins were present but not too strong.

Overall very smooth — 18 days ago
