Hello old friend. Like rain in a spring garden. Fresh wet-green, honeysuckle, lemon oil, elastic band/rubber. These wines age gorgeously so I've never had one so young before. I will say...it's a tad sulfurous in its youth, but also fresh, simple, undemanding. Drink now for easy summer pleasure or hold 5-10 years for a study in graceful maturity. Good to see Tahbilk seemingly getting wider distribution in the U.S. 12%, $13.

I echo all of the positive and eloquent notes about this wine; just a few additional observations: very surprisingly low alcohol for a wine with such substantial aroma, body, taste and finish. Good alone and with food. Looking forward to comparing this with the 2013 1927 vines version.

Inviting nose. Lots of white flowers, peach and slightly stony. Great texture and minerality on the palate. More florals and peach and a subtle white nut note. There is great balance and poise to this wine. Acidity is perfect. Refreshing but not too tart. This would be excellent with a few years on the clock.

Pas prêt car le vin est acide avec peu de corps et de gras. Une déception. 80 sur 100.
