Open at least an hour before drinking , of course on day 3 it is even better . Sean's wines are always beautiful . This is classy , but slightly too much coconut influence from the oak for me . But cherries , spice and all things nice .

Had an offputting bing cherry aftertaste on opening. Calmed down after a lot of air.

This has got a “cult following” apparently - lives up to the hype, unique and drinkable

Way too ripe. And not natural ripe. Like fake ripe. Kind of a bummer

A gorgeous wine. Served with chicken confit, potatoes fondant and asparagus. Light, smooth, and multidimensional. We caught notes of cherries, licorice and spice.

No vintage but... Sean Thackrey! More than makes up for it. Gouleyant as the French would say. And delicious.
