Really nice wine. Not too ripe banana, some unique passion fruit and under ripe mango. Palate a touch waxy on the finish - really liked that. Very pretty wine.
Always such a gorgeous Champagne. Complex and beautiful with toasty dark honeyed apples and chestnuts with candied ripe pears. Super long finish with extra fine bubbles. Highly recommended. This seems to deliver in just about every vintage I've tried with the strong vintages being superb.
Clearly very old and the fruit has dissipated quite a bit, but I felt there was still plenty to enjoy from such an old California Pinot. Old leather saddle, muddled strawberries, barnyard and some horse manure. Palate is fading with rustic raspberries and touches of dirty mineral. Very pretty and fun to taste. The cork and bottle were in pristine condition.
Wow this rocked! Thanks Ken! Honeyed fruit, yellow apples, lots of petrol and some stinky cheese that was enjoyable. Deeper and robust on the palate with great lift. Long finish. Awesome wine.

Cloudy color. Darker plummy fruit but also some red fruit. Lots of spice and very pronounced. Lots of richness on the palate. Darker cranberry and some smoke and earth. Good but Big for Rhys even.

Super acid here. Racy and packed with energy and fruit.
Laser like lemon lime. Long finish. Just so young but so good.

Big and bold. Very meaty with some cured meat, saline and fresh herbs on the nose.
Palate was massive but was fun to try.
