  • Christmas Eve at Mom's
    Pretty. Expressive. Fresh. Slightly bitter back palate that I didnt love.

  • Color dorado. Nariz intensa, compleja, con notas que recuerdan al velo flor, fruto secos, fruta con hueso madura, corteza de lima, matices minerales. En boca tiene buen ataque, pasa fluido pero con sensación de materia, seco, fresco, con buenos amargos, estructura media y notable longitud. Muy bueno...

  • As a lover of distinctive oxidative / sous voile savagnin it pains me to write this note, but that makes us even, because for most of its 14 days with us it was a pain to drink. This fellow was downright nasty for 13 days: bitter, with a dirty smell and taste of old tires. Toyo, I think. Funk — which generally we find enjoyable and contributes to complexity in moderation — here fails to overcome the negatives. Multiple days left corked in the fridge mellowed it only marginally. On the 14th and final day it was more enjoyable, but at that point we were worn down and looking for something good to say about it. PS: If I recall, our last bottle of the 2007 version of this same wine has similar, but thankfully for us, subdued negative characteristics. I’m glad to see other recent positive reviews. Maybe, or at least hopefully (for those with more), this particular 2011 bottle was off.

  • White wine doesn't get much better than this. It's as complex as a red with bouquet that broods deeply with pungent earth and soars high with sharp gooseberry, lemon merengue, key lime, dust of Brett, plastic, straw bed of calf, lemon rind and cave musk.
    It's perfect from mid palate to finish with sharp Brett spice, gooseberry, under ripe black fruit with ripe lemon. It grips the tongue with more sips and builds with denser character and texture.

    Pairing with food might be a waste but interesting to try. Fish wasn't that great, but fatty soft cheese worked well. My next bottle I'll try with smoked salmon, onions and humbolt fog. I think it would compliment raw salmon, but I preferred it just by itself.
    This was a joy to sip over 6 hours. Needs to be warm at 65 not fridge cold.
    Could hardly get myself to leave a glass for overnight.
    9.5/10

    12 hours later from glass left out overnight there was no detectable change. This real wine was outstanding. It should keep in bottle for decades.

  • Bourdy Tasting - Wine 7:

    Intense bouquet of fresh picked caju fruit, including the typical dirty sock element. The mouthfeel featured a unique steeliness. This stood out in very good ways. 90-91.
