Still learning these wines and have a ways to go. I enjoy less fruit forward Bordeauxs and appreciate what this wine has to offer
Popped. Left in the bottle. Immediately and throughout the night. Library book/ flint nose and taste.
After 1.5 hours. Heavy cedar. Also throughout the night. Earthy. Barnyard.
At 3 hours. Dark Cherry made a large surprise appearance which was welcomed and exciting. Then it retreated back to its core.
Fin.

I don’t have a ton of experience with whites, but this was by far the one that I’ve enjoyed the most. Full body. Thick. Syrup texture. A nice change for me given my love for full bodied reds.
PnP. The wine started of with pear notes and through the night gradually moved towards lemon lime 7Up style (fun!) before ending with melon notes. Enjoyed with haddock and over the course of an hour. Keep it cool. Looking forward to trying it again.
Cheers!

Wow. This was the winner last night in my opinion. The wine stood out in its own league and contrasted nicely to the other wines enjoyed.
Extremely COMPLEX and organized. A BIG wine that was less full bodied than the other wines drank. BRIGHT red and blue fruits. Mark pointed out “blue ball point pen” flavor at first try and that nailed it. The tannins on this wine we perfect, as was the night.
