  The nose is wonderful…even better on day 2 after being refrigerated overnight. Mint, basil, tarragon ripe mandarin orange. Really f*#%ing good with ripe manderine orange, pineapple aromas also. Everything continues on the palate but there is also the addition of mango and papaya. Plenty of acid on the finish with tart citrus and mineral, but on the palate it’s more creamy and delicious

  Delicious and ready. As good as this is, one wonders how much better its big brother would be.

  Good developed flavors of lemon curd and dark pear. Citrus tones blended well with the darker white fruit.

  Very solid all around. Lemon fruit and lemon curd well ingratiated into the profile.

  Pale color. Very grassy, bordering on jalapeño notes, with citrus underneath. Excellent, if atypical for Bordeaux.
