A great and classical Rioja. Beautiful nose, not too oaky, long finish. Plenty of life ahead. Not their '98, but very good. — 8 years ago

Nice turkey prep helper. Carmel, lemon oil, roasted apricots, lamp oil, hint of B.O., and nutmeg. Viscous with a sweet n sour 2 minute finish. $25. Total steal! — 8 years ago

Lovely... Certainly more reserved than West Coast Pinots, lighter, brighter, more mineral. After some air, we could not stop drinking this one! — 9 years ago

Wow! More like a Jura wine, tastes similar to ploussard. — 10 years ago

For me, a bit herbal tonight with excessive drying tannins (very UN-Pichon Lalande like), but others thought it much better, just lacks the lush P-L profile. — 11 years ago

Great structure and tannins, similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, but it also has a fruity characteristic. ... — 8 years ago

Delectable this is the PRESSINGS based on Shiraz. They also make a PRESSINGS based on Malbec which is a rarer beast. An heroic rich Full Bodied Red just bursting with favour and intensity- maybe best suited to Winter more than Summer. — 8 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 — 8 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. — 9 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

Bright and juicy with the nimbleness of a ballerina. Nice light warm up for the palette and the onslaught of juice about to occur.☝🏼️ — 10 years ago

It's hard to imagine now, but there was a time in my life when I thought I didn't like Beaujolais! — 12 years ago

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 — 8 years ago

9.1

Off-vintage but tasty. A bit of a mouldy nose, eucaliptus, pine, herbs, blackcurrants and blueberries. Really strong presence of a pencil shaves note. Not as heavy and concentrate as it is. — 8 years ago

Smooth, elegant with a bit earthy aftertaste. Loved it. — 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

This wine packs a punch! Pungent upon smell and going down, but man oh man do I love it. Sweaty socks is right. I don't usually go for a gamay, but this ones my jam. — 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
