Juicy and fresh, a bit earthy, a little deep and slightly more full bodied than I've come to expect from this style of wine. I've loved ever dm wine that I've tried and this one is the most mature but still fun — 9 years ago

The wine is dark and juicy, with black currant and black raspberry aromas, but the nose has a distinct savory side to it, with cedar, olives, smoke and sassafras. The palate brings a textbook darkness, with earth for miles and miles and miles. It's just about pitch black, and that's okay, because I've got a flashlight. There is a heavy note of oak spice, a tongue-teasing acidity and a tannic structure that demands meat, make that steak, make that ribeye. — 9 years ago

The nose on this is stunning. Hauntingly pretty with red fruit, roses and a great length and complexity. On the palate there's still decent fruit... A slightly blurry mid-palate, with a faded sweetness, resolved tannins and good length. A very nice wine still... But that nose! — 10 years ago

Bright and juicy with the nimbleness of a ballerina. Nice light warm up for the palette and the onslaught of juice about to occur.☝🏼️ — 11 years ago

The kind of wine that never fails to get you in a good mood. Sweet, yet not overly, a bit tart with aromas of rowanberries, cherries, almonds. — 12 years ago

Acidity and cut, but also sneaky depth and baked, spiced apple complexity. As always, one of my favorite producers in the world — 7 years ago

Smell like lemon and fermenting pizza dough. Peach, pineapple, cream and a dry, persistent finish. This has weight and length. Really good for the price — 9 years ago

Lovely... Certainly more reserved than West Coast Pinots, lighter, brighter, more mineral. After some air, we could not stop drinking this one! — 10 years ago

Vintage trumps site here - too rich for me. A very big juicy wine, and a bit of brett. Never a bad night though when you have some Cros P... — 11 years ago

Second bottle, this one was great; first bottle (last year) was certainly a bit tainted. Pale color quickly deepened to rich gold in the glass; smelled like honeyed fruit, and tastes like it too; bright and citrus; smooth and long lasting. Light to medium sweet. Delicious at nearly 31 years! — 7 years ago

1996 Screaming Eagle. Dinner at Tap w S&L DiM and P&S Co. Superstar. We all remarked how unbelievably balanced this wine was, despite how big it remained at 20 years old. Finish lasted forever and was a truly memorable finish to the evening. — 10 years ago

Rocky Grenache. Very reductive. Took 45 minutes to blow off, but afterward had great red fruit and violet aromatics. Tannin has integrated well, but probably doesn't have much life left from here. A little dusty. — 10 years ago

Fascinating baked apple character, complete with the cinnamon, but still finishes fresh and clean. Interesting how the Jura can make these wines with such a developed character that are still light, clean, and imminently drinkable. — 11 years ago
