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
First sip was great and it just got better. Bold, earthy with notes of wood and fruit. Long, smooth finish. — 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

THE. BEST. DOMESTIC. CHARD!!!!!! Yes, yes, yes. I'm blown away. This is the best domestic chard I've ever drank. This particular vintage is killer. I could poor this in a lineup of top notch Meursault and none would be the wiser, that's how good this is. Intense smoke/funk brought on by minerality that most domestic producers could only dream of. A legendary wine in my book. @June's All Day, Austin TX — 8 years ago
A dark, medium-bodied ale full of rich coffee and roasted barley tones. Beer AND coffee... what could be better than that?

Jammy blackberry and a hint of plum. A bit of spice in the finish. Bargain-priced at the local grocers, I like it better than some much pricier ones that I've had. — 10 years ago
Smells like chocolate covered raspberries! — 10 years ago
Peach, lemon, blood orange, metal, tilleul and honey wax
And sweet at taste! — 11 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

I have nothing to add to Robert Parker's spot-on take on the 2013: "The wine shows rich, saddle-leather-infused coffee and chocolaty blackberry fruit and plenty of robust, bordering on rustic flavors. This is a pedal-to-the-metal, fun wine and very well-made; a big, substantial mouthful of wine..." — 8 years ago
Amber, orange hue. Complex, creamy texture with quince notes. — 8 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 — 9 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
Exceptional. Again proving Dom rose is one of the absolute best in the world. — 10 years ago

Earthy, peat moss, metal on the nose, silky on the tongue. Smuggled in Jo's dirty undies through airport security- thankfully no hint of that. — 8 years ago
