Mushrooms in mocha, brown rice, caramel-y citrus with Bing cherry, soy sauce, and beef ribbons tease the nose. Happy to see less candy and soda in a beer. Soy sauce, molasses, baker's chocolate, oak, cedar, and cinnamon with allspice. Great! The sour is at the end but buoys the whole. — 9 years ago
Great value here. Lovely lemon acidity and long dry finish with consistent bubbles. I'll take a dozen oysters on the half shell please. — 10 years ago
This is the perfect name for this why it is juicy little bit sweet but really well rounded flavor — 10 years ago
I love this wine. I've probably had it a dozen times in the last 3 years and it delivers everytime. — 12 years ago
Very jammy and sweet but absolutely delicious!!! Kinda weird talking about a slightly sweet Cabernet Sauvignon but it is really got a very nice rich stewed berry taste and its smooth. — 12 years ago
Pretty sweet but with a bit — 12 years ago
Starting to come into its own... Dark plum, lavender, and blackberries. Incredibly long, dense finish, minerality and a bit of smokiness! Thankfully, we have more in the cellar... Probably opened a half dozen years too early, although we're glad we did! — 10 years ago
The nose of a cherry you'd get in a Manhattan followed by the judo chop of a dozen pissed off raspberries...killer juice. — 10 years ago
White Hermitage from one of the rising stars of the Northern Rhone Valley. A great expression of the Marsanne grape. Stonefruit, honey, white flowers with a full and almost lanolin texture on the palatte. A subtly sweet nut butter finish. Only a few dozen cases exported to the US. — 10 years ago
Amazing bottle .. rich, textures flavors .. a bottle I wish I had another dozen of. — 12 years ago
Certainly enough interest here. Glad mum continues to buy it by the dozen. Serviceable, reliable hills Chard — 9 years ago
Still very youthful for such a dicey vintage, this wine has enough stuffing to last another dozen years... — 10 years ago
Stunning. Still hAs a t least a dozen years left. — 10 years ago
Very Pauillac like served blind and tasted next to the 86 Mouton. I guessed 86 Dominus as I have had this wine more than a dozen times over the last few years. — 10 years ago
Great wine that ages really well. Very pleasant nose of blackberries, salvia, char, slight whiskey, vanilla, and baker's chocolate. Smooth silky tannins and a considerably long finish. — 10 years ago
Bread pudding and bananas foster, in liquid form at 107 proof.
Chewy, complex, opulent. Coats the mouth like a Speyside single malt (to a lesser degree) but more rewarding in its complexity. The style is similar to Blanton's but rather the fat southern matriarch that family who is always baking or giving you a spanking. — 12 years ago
Light n rather sweet for Pinot noir — 12 years ago
