Very complex, did not like it at first... found it to be a little too acidic... but eventually grew on us - paired well with the roasted chicken - made an excellent au jus. 2 Notes

Powerful nose of sweet and honeyed fruit, raisins, beeswax, very perfumed and floral, enticing and seductive; sweet and ripe in the mouth; honeyed, floral flavors that show a lot of complexity and sophistication; thick but fresh; long finish with powerful acidity that provides focus and definition; smooth and fresh. (16.5/20) Another bottle at the OxFam dinner was consistent in most respects, but the alcohol was more in evidence. 1 Note

This turned out not to be a favorite, the wine seems more advanced and aged than its age suggests; classic nose of honeyed fruit and candle wax, exotic and intense aromas that evoke white flowers, but at the same time spicy and a bit hot; sweet in the front of the mouth with lots of honeyed fruit flavors, spicy and exotic, but the wine has a hard, alcoholic undercurrent that detracts from its otherwise exotic nature; the finish is, as a consequence, too alcoholic and coarse for me, and I have had better wines from this producer.

Served at the same time with the Guigal above at Jim and Deb Cianciolo’s summer dinner party; this wine has a much sweeter and deeper nose than the Guigal, aromas of honey, sweet herbs, beeswax, white pepper, ripe and rich; same in the mouth; lots of ripe and rich fruit flavors, exotic herbs, caramel and hints of honeyed fruit; at the same time spicy with good acidity; fresh lemons; smooth and silky at the finish; this wine has more depth and better poise than the Guigal.

Very limited production, first harvest; very minerally nose, a bit funky, earthen, herbal, green notes, dry aromas; quite intense in the mouth; minerally core with powerful acidity, but also an underlying presence of sweet fruit; well balanced, good structure; lots of smoothness at the finish with a mineral-laced fruit flourish at the end.
