 Tasted by PourMeSomeMore on 2/13/2015 & rated 91 points: Wasn't sure how this would age, but I really enjoyed this wine and it's doing very well. Wonderful tropical fruit nose (pineapple, passion fruit & maybe some guava). Rich with nice viscosity (legs for days) and bright acidity. Slightly darker straw color. Perfect with roast garlic (butter) crab or butter poached lobster. This is a food wine and a very nice one indeed. Will probably pop open all my bottles over the next couple months as it seems to be perfect now and it's crab season. However as a note, it did open up more over several hours, so likely to have some further staying power. (2380 views)
