So, this was absolutely one of the best Robinot showings I've experienced. Quintessential dirty stone chenin character, mouth-filling. Sharp metal minerality. Light bitterness on the finish. You hope for this from him. — 10 years ago

2008. Man, I still can't figure out why nobody cares about Coteaux Champenois except me. This is gorgeous. I actually might have pegged it for red Burgundy at first as it is thicker and heavier than Coteaux Champenois pinot tends to be. But it still has that characteristic Champenois minerality that doesn't really fit with any Burgundy I can think of, as if the wine was full of metal shavings. There's a somewhat gamy layer there too which comes out on the back end. This is really nice, not quite as graceful or weightless as some CC but still a very elegant and satisfying drink and packed with personality. — 10 years ago

Gun Metal continues to be Jerry's strongest showing, out of several quite impressive years at Guardian, across all wines. Outstanding representation of his blending skills! — 11 years ago

Just about to shed its last layer of clothes and is becoming bare to the world. Caramel, butterscotch, candied walnuts, muscatels, honey on figs and aldehyde. — 9 years ago

Great representation of Marlborough. Bright green apple notes rounded out with a deep complexity of fun metal, steel, and flint that is Marlborough — 10 years ago

Still primary and showing very young, this is tight and slightly austere with cassis, black pepper, gun metal oil, oak, expresso and licorice along with underlying sweet fruit. Long life ahead! — 10 years ago

Tobacco, bing cherry, shiitake mushroom, blood, and truffles on the nose. Palate fills out with such softness yet so much life. Dark chocolate & cherries with hints of metal components on the tongue. Mocha dust and truffle on the finish. Epic. Delicious. Tannins to last another 10 years. — 11 years ago

Copper-colored, crazy intense aromas of crushed flowers, metal, dirt, and pig fat. Electric and raw on the palate, full throttle skin fermented Malvasia. Amazing with Indian food. — 12 years ago
