Reddish tawny. Youthful nose. Notes of black currants, blackberries, herbs and spices and some menthol. Silky in the mouth, although at first it comes off as delicate. With more air, some spice and white pepper notes develop, and this goes full on Chave and Hermitage power on you... Not bad for Syrah that's pushing 40 years in age! — 5 years ago

First of 12 bottles from HDH. Good nose slightly thin on the palate, a lot of iron — 7 years ago

Steltzner was purchased a few years ago by the Plumpjack group, who now operate Odette on the property. Those wines are expensive and quite enjoyable, but I’m not so sure that they will age like these ones. — 8 years ago

Gloriously acidic visitor to our coravin session last evening. Thought it might be a bit flabby (going by the reviews) but everything was in perfect balance. Incredibly Fragrant; a virulent golden yellow; full of nectarines and hints of other tropical fruits. It developed into one of the great timeless wines that facilitate a tendrilled connection between everyone with a glass in their hand. — 10 years ago

Released in 2013. This is still so young and forward, I can barely understand. Sure, I suppose there was development here, but I keep chasing these wines backwards in time, and they never seem to reach that place that my vinous instincts suggest they're headed. I mean, this was really tasty - maybe my expectations are the problem... — 9 years ago

This has held its age well. Subtle fruit, good tannin structure. It only needs about 20-30 mins in the decanter. A lot of tertiary flavors, mushroom, forest floor, earthy. Great experience! — 7 years ago

This 1983 from an original disgorgement was terrific, showing a mature complexity yet still feeling lively and energetic. Perhaps not the grandest Dom Pérignon ever, but delicious and satisfying. — 8 years ago

Magnum and all I can say is that between this and the Raffault bottles I've tried is that Chinon can age and develop as well as anything out there. Absolutely brilliant expression of Cabernet Franc. — 9 years ago

This is what aged port should taste like. Velvety black fruit. Vanilla. Full mouthfeel and long finish. Not over the hill one bit. A real treat. — 11 years ago
