Bright nose with fruity notes, peach, minerals, and quite little autolytic character. Good acidity on the palate with orange flavors, lemon, citrus zest, herbs, and a bit of stone fruit. Good finish. Very nice wine but it suffered significantly from being poured next to the 2014 Ursules which was on a completely different level. This had more fruit but overall it was just less interesting.

Zuni Cafe Chicken Night (Brad's Place, St. Paul, MN): Light gold color. Drank a couple glasses over an hour plus. Fresh with bright fruits, pear and cherry, crystalline minerality, lifted and precise, as it takes on weight and more toast shows over time. I like Craig's word of regal, sums it up nicely. 93(+)pts.

Brad's Winner Winner Zuni chicken dinner night. BB,KB,ML & I. Kevin's btl This is an interesting contrast to the NV Charles Krug BdB. More nervy & serious. A bit more standoffish but very impressive. Complex and likely gets even better with another year or 3 of btl age. Regal & formidable. What a fun flight!

Very pleasant nose with notes of lemon, lots of minerals, apple, chamomile, and just a hint of brioche. Nice acidity with more lemon flavors, grapefruit, a bit of riper fruit, and minerals / crushed rocks. Nice finish. This is a lovely wine that has aged quite well.

Beautiful, aged character. Bronze color in the glass. Soft mosse. Apple, Carmel, chocolate and toast notes. Absolutely lovely.
