This is a special wine. Final bottle of this series in my collection. Really amazing to see a wine that showcases the finesse of Stagecoach Vineyard rather than the power. Gorgeous sour cherry and mineral, herby notes. Glad I cellared it. — 8 years ago

Strawberry, raspberry, tar, coffee and sour cherry. Smooth and light mouth feel. Great value I expect it to be in my collection of go-tos. — 10 years ago

I only paid $6.99 for this wine and I have enjoyed it by myself three days straight. It did not sour with age. As it oxidized, it became peppery with a berry flavor. Strong wine. — 10 years ago

L'Exclusive Prestige Cuvée from Ruinart. In magnum. Blanc de Blancs. Base wine is 1993, with blends from '88, '90, '86 and '85 - all Dom Ruinart. Not available for sale. Private collection for guests although our host at the House says they've only opened 3 bottles in last 5 years. Was sold originally in 2000. No longer for sale. Bottle designed by Cristofle, Paris. Not sure who designed the wooden case. Development on the nose of chestnut sauce, morel mushroom, earth and stone fruits - apricot and apricot compote. There's some wet rock notes. On the palate, acidity seems subdued (but evident on the finish) and integrated, and the wine is very delicate and elegant. There's some concentration but no richness or excess. There's some musk notes. Although its long, I would not say it's persistent as the mid-palate isn't huge on this wine. It's more a front end and finish attack - sour apricots to the fore. — 10 years ago

Appearance: very dark, viscous

Smell: earthy, rich, acidic, sour apple, perfume

Taste: sour apple, dry (especially on the back end), slight chocolate, slight cigar, earthy, exact opposite of a basic bitch wine. — 8 years ago

Perfect pinot for my taste. Easy sour first sip that mellows out to melon and then butter. $7.99 — 9 years ago

Outstanding Chard - complex! Sour green apple skin notes on the nose, but honeysuckle vanilla notes with a sharp finish on the tongue. Full bodied bliss, worth the premium price tag! — 10 years ago

A super delicious sour smuggled in from Belgium via Atlanta, GA to OC. Citrusy, malty and tart! I don't know the name of this beer, but I'm calling it delicious. #DrDregs #StraightOuttaBeer — 10 years ago

1970 Delamotte late disgorged Collection Champagne. In magnum. Blend of varietals - not Blanc de Blancs. 65% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, 15% Meunièr. Deep Gold. Desert like on the nose - apricots, cream, fried mushrooms, truffles - but no oxidation. Quince, and Alsatian liqueurs. Kirsch. On the palate, full concentration. Good acidity, fully integrated. Rich apricot compote, butterscotch, milk chocolate and vanilla essence. Good mid palate. Huge finish - concentrated and persistent. Slight sour and sweet thing going on. Wow! NB: with air, some soy sauce, consume, and savoury sweet combo that is delicious. Also some chalky and slate notes are now developing in the glass. — 10 years ago

Beautifully belgisch, but not quite as sour as your average gueuze, and a bit more cereal-malty. Simple and delicious. — 9 years ago

Like to add sparkling water to cut some of the sour is fruit taste but it's very yummy — 10 years ago

Floral nose, somewhat sour up front with a tart fruitiness behind. A pinch of dryness. A fairly bold white, as Sauvignon Blancs often seem to be. Pairs well with dinner and is also okay on its own. We drank with a mild tomato-meat pasta, and it did well. — 10 years ago

1989 vintage, Krug Collection, bottle number 33. Deep golden brown. Very rich - honey and apricot, some oxidation and sherry notes. Great acidity and huge concentration. Broad mid palate. Bollinger style. Very honeyed with some pecan nuts. Creamy. Sour apricots. Very long. Style won't suit purists. But I love it. NB: with air, beef consume notes to the fore. — 10 years ago

Crisp and clean tasting. Lots of fine bubbles; goes down relatively smooth; hints of pears, sour apples, grapefruit. Brut after taste but not overbearing. — 10 years ago
