Community Tasting Notes (average 90.1 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 12 notes) | |
| Tasted by pjaines on 12/27/2009: Deep honey colour - deep nose of minerals and honeyed fruit, peach, apricot. In the mouth quite rich and deep - needs a little time to open up but then this has excellent quality and complexity. Nice acidity to hold up the structure of the wine - probably at its peak right now. Very bloody good stuff. (130 views) | |
| Tasted by Anonymous on 12/11/2009 & rated 93 points: Beautiful bouquet with soft almonds, toasted oak and exotic fruits like coconut and banana etc. Full bodied, soft acidity, citrus, peach, butter and toasted oak again. A very complete wine with an exceptional complex bouquet. Still a good future. (124 views) | |
| Tasted by DanielM4 on 10/25/2008 & rated 92 points: Deep beautiful yellow colour. Aromatic and buttery on the nose. The taste is of pears, peaches, flowers and cinamon over some deep hints of vanilla. This White form a non-stellar vintage turned out to be a really good friend with the Lobster and the pumpkin soup. It did show some age in a postive way and didtn have the alcoholic and dillute taste I was affraid it could have had. I will keep my hands of my last bottle for a few more years. (330 views) | |
| Tasted by the godfather on 7/27/2008 & rated 80 points: weird stuff, coffe notes emerged when consumed with salad of cucumber and grape tomatoes, (437 views) | |
| Tasted by BrewWench on 3/1/2008 & rated 84 points: Lots of floral on the nose. Medium mouth, creamy mouth feel very similar to a red. Medium finish, with just the tiniest bit of tannin. Drank with Coq a vin blanc, and the wine held up very nicely to the sauce. Overall impression was that it was good, but not great. (627 views) | |
| Tasted by salil on 1/24/2008 & rated 91 points: Wineflock - Australian Cabernets/Cab blends tasting (Chicago): Bright golden yellow in colour with smoky peach, melon and some pineapple notes on the nose and palate. Full, round mouthfeel with some creaminess and moderate acidity - was fading though when I revisited it late in the night. (864 views) | |

| Tasted by winefool on 1/1/2002 & rated 92 points: Medium golden yellow. Medium bodied savignon blanc with good acidity but much rounder more mature and integrated fruit. Excellent. 1/02 (1042 views) | |
