12/20/2023 - ABOVETHEINFLUENCE Likes this wine: NRseamless, getting a stickiness to palate good thickness, some creme brulee on nose, nice just sipping slow on this first big pour, savory and find this rather enjoyable right off cork...I just want to slowly sip this one...uncomplicated in best way , a serene vibe with cool kinda sweet sour red fruit and apple sticking as flavors on finish |

12/14/2023 - ABOVETHEINFLUENCE wrote: NRone of those little 187ml bottle, ice cold makes hefty pour fulll glass, this is light blue label w florals (supposed to be all the orgeon flowers or something I caught myself staring at it) the prior release from what i gather, this is nice kinda oily, bubbles are smooth actually its mild must be the age, I like that peachy, soft sweet orange notes,pink flower, tasty, refreshing are my thoughts as I close out this pour.. |
