This is fabulous. Sweet without being cloying, strawberry without raspberry, wine without jam. Can it match a 2016 Bionic Frog, a 2015 Peter Michael Cab., a 2005 La Tache or a 1981 La Flaive Les Pucelles? Maybe not, but did you see the price? Perfect with camembert, pork tenderloin or just as the last sip of the day. This is probably the very best wine for the price on the planet today.

Rich, round and sweet. Not much nose but nice mix of lemon and vanilla flavors. Bright yellow with thick legs. It lingers a bit on the tongue more from its viscosity than any persistent flavor. Sweet.
Opened at a Valentines party. It went quickest of any bottle in part due to the WS rating of 97. Great with the crab cakes but too sweet for the raspberry truffles or carrot cake. A well made wine but did I mention too sweet?

A disappointment. It was showing against the Ma Belle-Fille, so no surprise, but it also compared poorly to the Rombauer at the same price. It is a lighter, dryer style, but where are the delicate traces of violet, rose petals and grass?
Light bodied, pale yellow, no nose. No flaws here but not worth the price.
