Community Tasting Note
fingers Likes this wine:
93 Points
Thursday, July 9, 2015 - 5 minutes after opening and it's just brilliant. Light to medium yellow gold in color, clear and sound. Modest intensity aroma but lots of complexity and tertiary notes. Graceful and bright on the palate, delivering hazelnut, lemon merengue, mango, persimmon, granite and Kings Hawaiian bread, to name a few parts. Very long on finish and Drouhin scores again. Drink now and over the next couple. 5+12+18+8 = 93

Hope to clink with you soon
