Screw top aging is pretty awesome. Licorice, dried red currants, baked cherries, dates, orange rind — 11 years ago

A nice oaky Pinot with a tinge of sweet. Enjoyed it at the Flats Bistro with a simple chicken dinner. — 12 years ago

9.1

Old vine syrah from the wrong side of the tracks in the Cornas neighborhood, so it's appellation Cotes du Rhone, but the hope is that it's kind of Cornas-y even if it comes from the flats. At first it's super-structured and backwards but also very hearty and dense with that rich old-vine concentration. The flavors at that point might have passed for something grenache. With a bit of air it gets more civilized, though, retaining that hearty richness but the structure turning almost silky even though it builds and toughens up on the back end. How Cornas-y is it? Well, it doesn't have any of the wild meatiness or much non-fruit stuff, and the particular berry flavors still coulda fooled me on the syrah vs. grenache thing, but that dense inner core and muscled structure seems about right. — 11 years ago

Dark berry fruit blueberry blackberry coulis very intense with smoky toasty oak notes from an old Malbec vineyard on red mountain espresso and dark chocolate. A big wine with lots of dark berry fruit velvety tannins, a complete wine from the center out on the tongue pretty violet and lavender notes big but elegant and fresh at the end. Most excellent + — 12 years ago

9.9

All grand cru, 69% cote de blancs, but the rest from Sillery and Puisieulx on the flats of the north facing slope of the mountain of Reims. Very expressive now, but with a long future in front of it, this wine has great baguette and Brie aromas with the incisive minerality of the terroir and great acid of the vintage to back it up. — 12 years ago
