September 30, 2023 - All the elements you’d expect are in place, minerals, honey, etc, but then there is more: a fresh light acidity that keeps this wine going, and complements the excellent fruit

November 17, 2012 - At The Broadmoor. Holy smokes this is good. Full, and fresh with an amazingly graceful lift. 15-30 second finish that keeps you counting the moments until you can have some more. Thankfully not as tropical or alcoholic as I'd feared - given the ripe vintage. Instead, a very complete wine, wrapped up as elegantly as any Nieman-Marcus present ever has been. A perfect pairing with The Summit's Scallop dish. highly recommended, 13,5% abv
