Did not age well :( glad I opened it before it completely fell off a cliff, and still retained a shred of its former self. It's in there, at the end, that golden joy; but so much funk and cheese up front that it had turned into an entirely different wine. Still intensely enjoyable, but not how we came to love it.

✋International drinkers of delectable- help please: in Paris for 5 days, aside from the obvious spots, where do we need to be eating & drinking that might've slipped my radar?

Really so special. Tropical and buttery but light on its feet and alive. A slow sipper that somehow goes fast. Somehow this feels classic and avant- garde at the same time and somehow both winter and summer in a glass. Possibly a paradox but maybe im tripping either way I love this

Over ripe peach ,dried apricot, clove, and wood with a bit of dirt and brandy on the nose, just enough fuzz on the tongue.
Like Christmas in July or a sexy revamp of your grandmas favorite perfume with Lara stone in the campaign. The confidence of being grown with the sexiness of youth under a fleece throw blanket
