  • An altogether lovely wine. From magnum. The nose is quite forthcoming and fruit-driven but has eveived frim the somewhat grasssy varietal character of ten years ago to a more gentle and harmonious character. Intense, ripe fruit on entry, again without any significant grassiness. Lovely balance and persistence of flavor. A beautiful example, and should continue to drink well. The Silex usually demands a higher price but I am partial to this wine.

  • Bright color, a little thin on the edges. Rich nose, with pineapple/golden delicious notes, and maybe a touch of raisins (maderized?). Buttery flavor, but slightly metallic on the back side. No score, as this bottle may have been bad. Or the wine is over the hill.

  • A fantastic wine. Drank it this evening with Miso black cod and a kind of japanese risotto. Varying flavors, with plenty of acidity and fruit, even after 13 years. Probably not a lot of life left, but still fantastic now. As stated previously for this wine, unlike Silex in every conceivable way. Go DD!

  • Deep green gold color. Rich aromas of quince, fresh butter, green almonds, pineapple and mint. Rich and viscous mouthfeel but with the acidity of a two year old wine. Textured flavors stone, mint, pineapple and cream are amazingly fresh after 11+ years. The finish is long and a bit prickly, almost like a botrytis wine. The mineral and ripe fruit flavors just keep coming. Mature, but seems in no danger of cracking up. Fantastic showing!
