Excellent. High pitched fragrant earth and mineral nose, with slight mushroom and oak. Elegant medium mouth feel. Texturally similar to a Northern Rhone. Good acidity in the finish.
P.S. Did not hold up well on day two, with diminished sense of acidity and some round vegetal flavors emerging in the mouth and finish. Probably a sign that the wine should be enjoyed sooner rather than later. If I had tasted this on day two only, would have scored this an 89.

Quite an interesting offering. Lots of banana on nose, along with iron, vanilla and blueberries. Silky structure, so easy to drink. Blueberry waffle with cinnamon on palate, with earthy notes mixed in. Since this was the last bottle in the store, these tasting notes of Visions of Johanna are all that remain.

A rich meatiness and textural palate. In an awesome lineup, though, it was hard to stand out. Probably would have stunned in an ordinary lineup.

The last time I had a bottle of this it was absolutely killer. Lets hope this bottle lives up to the promise. Yes, it does.
