5/11/2024 - Popoloinaz Likes this wine: 94 pointsMild on the nose, but the fruits certainly come through. On the palate, you get a jumble of fruits flavors with the berries coming through. Perhaps a little sharp on the acidity- could probably do with waiting a year or two. |

3/30/2024 - Philip67 Likes this wine: 94 pointsFully mature notes of leather and cedar alongside rich sweet ripe dark fruit. There are pronounced but pleasing oak and vanilla here. The structure is quite soft, though it masked by the massive fruit. Great wine. Long with moderate complexity. Drink now, though will last another 5 years or more. |

3/16/2024 - Kevin_96 Likes this wine: 92 pointsI think finally this wine is at early drinking stage- but still when first opened, it was still very tight and closed. After 2-3hrs, wine started to open up slowly. |

2/27/2024 - N.Bonaparte wrote: 94 points14 months since my last bottle. This continues to drink at peak with incredible balance. Up front striking bright citrus fruit that is well judged and focused. The finish is long. For me, this is one of the best white wines made in North America. Has anyone tried Screaming Eagle’s sauv blanc as well? This probably will drink well for a decade but I wouldn’t push it. Best consumed within the next 4-6 years. Revisit 2025 |

1/10/2024 - nywine68 wrote: 92 pointsFragrant nose of red licorice and kirsch. Voluptuous and saturated without feeling too heavy. A little bit of heat but it quickly fades into the background. Chocolate ganache and stewed blueberry flavors. Medium complexity and medium finish. Enjoyable |

1/1/2024 - bobh22314 Likes this wine: 96 pointsCherry to the rim. Notes of black fruit. After one hour not much in the way of fruit or finish. After two hour decant huge black and red fruits drying as it crosses the palate to a medium finish. For those who like a fruit bomb drink now. I will wait at least 3 years to allow the fruit become wine and the tannins to subside. Also hoping the finish will improve with age |

12/29/2023 - whits Likes this wine: 93 pointsRipe aromas of peach and grapefruit emerge from the glass, a rich style of sb, creamy mouthfeel, round, lush, flavors of peach, apricot, lime and tangerine, complex, inviting and food-friendly, graces the palate with style and fullness, probably will hold up in the cellar and develop nice complexity |

12/4/2023 - jgreco wrote: 88 pointsThis was the first bottle I opened and I was not super impressed. Deep ruby in appearance. The nose is medium(-) intensity with notes of cassis, black pepper, vanilla, and leather. The alcohol and tannins overwhelm everything else on the body. Short finish. After a few hours it turned into pure alcohol. |

11/18/2023 - Alexander Smith Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis is lush, big and juicy with tons of blue and black fruit, chocolate, pepper, sandalwood and spice. The palate is full bodied and rich with waves of blueberries, dark berries, crushed violets, crushed stones and dark chocolate, the mid-palate is velvety and creamy, tannins are ripe this finishes long and juicy. a slight note of Al% on this bottle. I feel the 2016s still have a ton of baby fat they need to shed, my guess is this will start showing well at year 10-12. 93 for today, but can see this knocking on the 95 door if all pans out. This is pretty in your face at the moment. |

11/11/2023 - DarinC Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted in Reidel Cabernet decanter and consumed over 3 hours with dinner. Stunning complex bouquet immediately after pouring into the glass. Gobs of black fruits, licorice, dark chocolate and spices. Seamless rich texture on the palate with almost no perceptible tannins. Long, mineral and spice tinged finish. Exceptional the first 30 minutes before it quickly fell apart and leveled off the rest of the evening to show more alcohol and simpler notes with disjointed acidity. The table agreed. Highly recommend not decanting. At peak, IMO. |

10/19/2023 - I'd Rather Be Drinking Wine Likes this wine: 95 pointsMarvin (WineBurrowingWombat) Visits Minnesota; 10/16/2023-10/23/2023 (Jason's House): OK....so trying to decide what to open, and Marvin suggested a Dana.....because Lotus is my favorite, and 13 is one of the "older" vintages, I decided to try it! I confess some apprehension due to how tannic the 13 vintage was, and thought rough tannins and possibly still closed down. However, I was pleasantly surprised! |

10/19/2023 - WineBurrowingWombat Likes this wine: 96 pointsCracking the whip; 10/16/2023-10/23/2023 (Eagan, MN): N: Ripe and rich black currants, a core of deep earthiness, pleasantly new spiced oak, and big ripe blueberries. With some time, gracefully aged characteristics of the fruit show a bit more (not stewed or plum notes, but more of polished integration), along with a gentle milk chocolate. |
