From mag. This is very good. Open knit, fresh bright fruit, hints of biscuit and corn. Lovely salinity and balance. Fine and long. A great bottle.

Delicate red fruits (cranberry , currant , tart cherry) complemented by blood orange, soil tones, and liquid minerals. The palate is fresh and long with lots of dry extract . This rose is so elegant and refined . One of the best young Bolle rose I have tasted.

A stunner. Mouth filling and weightless all at once. Focused and linear but adding layers with air. Better at 55° than 45°. Marmalade croissants. Hard to take a sip without vocalizing how delicious it is.

Brought to a nice dinner at our friend’s place on the Big Island. Nice youthful color with ample energy. Notes of citrus, bread basket and tan spice. Pretty good.

Medium gold color with great energy. Awesome nose with some aged notes. Citrus, toast, spice and some guava/kiwi. Great texture in the mouth. This is in a great spot.

Night 1 of WineBoyz Wineapalooza. Medium gold color, with oxidative nose. Notes of citrus, bread, green apples, some white stone. Great structure. Long finish. Really nice. Probably needs to be consumed sooner rather than later.

Christmas lunch date at V. Mertz. Disgorged January 2013. No formal notes. Rich in style with bruised apple, brioche, honey and some nutty, oxidative notes too. Zippy acid still. A truly wonderful way to close out the meal.
