10/12/2021 - BBoulais Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis was my last of 6 and I wish I had waited this long to drink the other as I really think it is now at it’s peak! Velvety, full of currents and plum. We paired it with a fire pit grilled steak and it was magnificent! Merci my friend Rolland L for sharing this great buy with me back in 2015! 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

5/1/2021 - BBoulais Likes this wine: 90 pointsSuch a wonderful riesling, perfectly balanced on acidity and minerality. Like CAMWHEELER wrote, has a “lick of sweetness” in mid palate, really wow. I am loving the fruity apple notes, this is simply perfect drank at 12 degrees C which I think was perfect temperature. I am so thrilled that i have 2 more in the cellar, yippeee! |

2/6/2021 - BBoulais Likes this wine: 91 pointsWonderful with lots of body due to the 6 month in the oak, just enough buttery notes to make it perfect. Pear apple vanilla perfection, and so proud that it is from Ontario and Organic. Not enough ooooo’s to truly describe it. Going to order more Nuit Blanch this week cause we only have 6 left in our cellar! |
