Sipping Fine Wine

9.4

Went to a Private Equity tasting and tasted this and couple other vintages side by side. Ruby with a rich bouquet of fruit, earthy spice and hints of floral. The palate is big & chewy, with ripe cherry, leather, espresso & cacao, rich & robust. Savory finish with toasty oak notes, structured tight tannins. An excellent and enjoyable wine you should not pass up, if you can get one, but let it develop for another 10 years to unwind before popping the cork! Consistent quality.

This 2015 vintage was purchased at Trader Joe's. Clean and crisp, pairs well with chicken. — 9 years ago

Very balanced, juicy, bright. A little green bell pepper in the middle but very soft. Acid holds up to tomato cucumber salad with balsamic vinegar dressing. Fun and elegant — 10 years ago

My first DRC. It brought me back to a few years ago, when I was standing in front of the DRC vineyards watching the horse work the land and thinking: 'probably I will never drink a wine like this in my entire life'. Four years later there is a glass of spicy and perfumed La Tâche in front of me. A milestone to me! Amazing to say the least. But of course there was not enough time to fully comprehend what was going on. Hope to pass by this station once again... — 11 years ago

2010 is amazing. More recent vintages have not been up to this. Lots of experience with this label. Find the 2010 or older. '11 on has been a dramatically more pedestrian offering. — 10 years ago

Looks like moscato. Smells like moscato. Slightly effervescent like a moscato. And yet it tastes dry... good with Ottolenghi recipies and adventurous souls. — 13 years ago

Lovely red for the price point. I believe the 2013 Cab franc would be a drinkable crowd pleaser if you need to take to a dinner party. Fruity and smooth, not entirely complex so easily liked by most palates. — 9 years ago

This has a sublime fruity funk and would pass as a top end aged CdP in any blind tasting. Not at all tired and should hold for a while. — 11 years ago

My new fav from peter Yealands. Just incredible light stone fruits and tropical hits such as grapefruit and a slight acidity that is lovely on the palette — 12 years ago
