The nose is expressive with notes of chocolate, coffee bean, and dark red fruits and hint of vanilla. The mouth feel is soft with some tannins. The taste is rich and ripe with favors of coffee, bitter chocolate, dark raspberry, cherry and hint of eucalyptus. A nice lasting finish. This wine can still go another 7-10 years. Score 93 points |

1998 Nichols Winery & Cellars Pinot Blanc La Colline VineyardSan Luis Obispo County more |
3/9/2018 - wineman73 wrote: 93 pointsWow... this is a legitimate mind freak! The color is a beautiful vibrant gold. No sign of oxidation. The nose has very subtle hints of citrus fruit primarily dried pineapple and dried pear and wood. Most of the nose present elucidates smell of minerals and fresh cashews. Medium to full body in the mouth. The taste provides flavors of oak, minerals, dried pineapple, subtle hint of butterscotch and warm cashews. A nice finish that provides the aforementioned flavors with a hint of lemon zest. This wine is delicious! If I were tasting blind, I would have guessed 10 year old US California Chardonnay with partial malo fermentation. Hard to believe this is a 20 year old Pinot Blanc from California!
