Very nice Pinot. Similar to the Clark & Telegraph Pinot, perhaps a little less fruit forward. Glad I am having it on Christmas Eve - pairs very well with all kinds of foods. — 9 years ago

An electric laser shot of green fruit/citrus goodness. — 10 years ago

Nice dark fruit with a hint of mint and tannins that add just the right touch. Maybe could use a few more years in the bottle but there are two more! I'll check back in a few years. But for now, I'm am totally happy. — 11 years ago

Chave does not suck and this vintage is no different. The wine was rich and powerful but after airating the wine for a few minutes the wine opened and revealed great depth and that wonderful purity that this region is known for. The granite soils certainly influence this effort and I for one am glad chave exists. — 10 years ago

This bottle was beautiful and certainly fully developed, showing lots of cedary and animal character, with a dash of cloves and some dried cherries. A bit of harsh acid. I wonder a bit about storage conditions, but with ribeye, am I going to complain? — 10 years ago

6 ano that was bottled at 1974 or a bit earlier. My companion during El Clasico over the weekend. I am just not sure as to who was better -- the game or the wine. It was just incredible. — 11 years ago

I'm going to come clean, I'm not a huge Caymus fan. It's by no means a bad wine - far from it - but I've always felt they blend their Cab with too much Zin. I could be wrong on that account, but I don't think I am. Still, a nice brooding nose of dark red and blue fruit, with a touch of candied fruit and wet earth. — 11 years ago

Concentrated, precise, critrus ("gooseberry, blood orange"), with dried rose and delicate mineral mineral notes, immaculate tension and finesse. — 11 years ago

I am not sure, but think this might be Grenache? Maybe Syrah? It was cool. I think. — 13 years ago

Who am I to criticize a bottle of Mouton Rothschild? Amazing, no doubt. But didn't feel balanced. Great funk on the nose. High acidity and overall mild. — 10 years ago

I am not in agreement with what has been posted on this label: good body, darker than usual left bank Bordeaux, perfect oak derived smokiness and very little tannin for a young bottle. One of the best I have had at an amazing price - paid for it about 30 euro at the Carrefur grocery store in Sallanches, France!
Merry Xmas to all — 10 years ago

Drank with Danielle when she & her Fam visited 8/24/15. I really liked it & she loved it (& she is much more of a wine lover than I am) — 11 years ago

At this stage of development a cross between the '90 and '89.
I am not qualified to judge what vintage it will eventually resemble but it does not matter this is great and will only be better with time. — 11 years ago
