Briar, pepper, raspberry leaves on the nose. Racy fruit, but the fruit is balanced by tannin. Delicious, lively, chewy, succulent.

I love wine.

Happy anniversary, Kate. — 9 years ago

Weirdly wonderful like so many Jura elixirs. I believe this is a kind of fortified Chard, definitely oxidized. There's the suggestion of pumpkin and the briar patch. A wonderful soft and round aperitif. One of a kind and worth a visit — 9 years ago

2012, Domine Chignard. Les Moriers Fleurie Gamay. Tart red fruit, lots of spice, a little briar and a healthy amount of acidity. This is "bigger" Fleurie, more like Moulin A Vent, Morgon. Excellent with burgers and grilled chicken. — 10 years ago

Much lighter than I had expected. Awesome aromas; garrigue, camphor, capsicum, tobacco, black tea, leather. The palate is complex, giving off different flavors with each sip. Bright cherry, mushrooms, dusty earth, briar berry, green pepper, charcoal. Finishes with smoke and a nice touch of white pepper. Beautifully complex. All the elegance of a fully mature St. Emilion. — 10 years ago

Climb into the brown submarine! This is subterranean and deliciously dank. Big hot, black soil notes intertwine with raw cocoa nib and smoky blackberry. Cedar and briar, leather and biomass. This is a stubble and schist wall of tannins up front, with a king-fu grip! — 10 years ago

Aging extremely well. Deep garnet with a slight fade. Briar, raspberry, smoke, herb, green pepper and a slight sweatiness in the nose. Lots of acid and tannin and a surprising amount of fruit for a California '97. Still well balanced and needs time to breathe. Wish I had some more, this will last for another 10 years easily. — 11 years ago
