38 years and the nose is still intact. A wonderful, crisp, citrus lingers from the glass. A fantastic finish. — 4 years ago
Love the nose on this: ripe apple, pear, spice and butter cream. A bit unbalanced on the palate with plenty of mineral and richness and likely some years to go to settle. Throw a meal at this one! — 6 years ago

This was a monster out of the gate and held its own. Really impressed. Shows age but not softness. Elegant, open, beeswaxy, beautiful — 12 years ago
Medium garnet with a medium wide garnet rim . Quite thick tears . A little high toned with an earthy tobacco , old wood , sous bois , spiced cherry , ripe blackberry note . On the palate this is quite rounded and juicy with sweet tannins spiced red plum , dark cherry and cassis . Ok balanced acidity , slightly warming alcohol . Medium spiced red plum and cherry finish . With more time in the glass this starts to become a little disjointed, I would recommend drinking this at a more or less cellar temperature, which wasn’t the case here . Ready now , still on its plateau of maturity but best from now and over the next 5 or so years . — 10 months ago
Nice acidity with some width to it and a little bit of richness, a delicious finish on pears mostly. Good bottle but lacks the zip of the best Perrières.
Beau vin sans être dans la même classe que les meilleurs Perrières, belle acidité et une bouche assez ample avec un peu de richesse, belle finale sur les poires. 90-91 — 6 years ago
My COVID19 f.... the virus 🦠 mid week treat. Textbook. Anise first - tannins mostly resolved. A great wine no rusticity. Dried Raspberry mushrooms chanterelles - actually. A beautiful wine. After this drama is over I will have to stock up. It’s nice to drink alone but I am also sad I can not share some of these beauties. — 6 years ago

The kind of wine I want to drink a bottle of over a long dinner. Lots of depth and expressive. Beautiful tannins and length. Wowza! — 12 years ago

Sofia loved Penguins. We played w/ them in Dubai and she also skied indoor while I had a spot of Champagne and watched from a very big window. Only in Dubai. They have to build things of that nature…cus w/o them…just a bunch of sand. — 2 years ago
Vines planted in !901, 1902. Mainly Grenache 90-95%. 15% ABV but nit noticeably hot. Black cherry, black plum, spicy but not peppery, forest floor, little chocolate covered cherry, Med+ acid, well integrated tannins. Alcohol showing up a little on finish. Smooth and complex. — 4 years ago
