This is not the best Walt Pinot but it certainly is better than many others. Red currant & black cherry and some bitter olive oil tones. — 5 years ago

Bright, full ruby-red. Highly complex, thoroughly ripe scents of black raspberry, cassis, dark plum, tar, tobacco, mocha and minerals, lifted by a violet topnote. Wonderfully suave and fine-grained but still quite youthful, spreading out to coat the palate without leaving any undue impression of weight. Shows a distinct black cherry medicinal reserve. This very smooth wine finishes with a broad dusting of ripe tannins and steadily building length. Approachable now owing to its successfully integrated acidity and tannins, but I'd rather give this beauty a bit more time in the cellar. (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, July 2019) — 6 years ago

Bright, high-toned, suave tannin and brisk acid to carry all the juicy red fruit and flowers. Does not show its ABV at all and is quite alluring. — 7 years ago

Otro gran Toscano que acompañe con galletas y queso crema de champiñones, aunque iría muy bien con ese plato griego Musaka, que lleva berenjenas, carne molida y queso, sobre todo recalentado, una delicia, este vino joven bien equilibrado con más de tres variedades distintas: sangiovese, carbenet sauvignon y uvas nativas, color purpura intenso, notas a frutos negros, especies, pimienta negra, en boca redondo frutos negros y rojos especies vino suave bien logrado, saludos #winelovers #pisco #Peru #Lima — 6 years ago

(Barrel sample put in bottle before tasting) Amazingly transparent of its clay soils. You swear you can taste and smell the blue clay in the wine. Dense, suave, and seamless. So young, so much depth waiting to be released in the future. — 7 years ago

I loved this wine! The notes listed say the wine has hints of violet and I thought that was unique. Upon tasting it, I was not disappointed! I could taste the violet which was balanced perfectly with spice, mocha, woodiness, and robust fruit flavors. Would definitely stock up! — 6 years ago

9.4

Deep red with ruby highlights, but Guillaume d'Angerville noted that this premier cru is typically softly extracted and light in color. Compelling, vibrant aromas of blueberry pastille, violet, licorice and spicecake. Incredibly primary and sweet, with its density leavened by harmonious acidity. Pliant dark berry flavors are complicated by hints of flowers and spices. This very pure wine has to be one of the most youthful 1999s I tasted this winter. Finishes with utterly suave tannins and outstanding length. This infant is just beginning to open and should enjoy a long plateau of maturity. D'Angerville described 1999 as "a magical vintage," noting that the yield here was at least 40 hectoliters per hectare. His father Jacques actually held back 4,000 bottles of wine in '99 but Guillaume has released most of these bottles by now to loyal clients of the domain.

Spicy red cherry and herbal notes appear on the dusty nose. Then becomes rich, ripe and very suave with candied red cherry and floral pastille flavors that have noteworthy lift and precision. Finishes long and remarkably smooth, given the total absence of oak. (ID) — 9 years ago

BOOM! A monster and more suave and complex than I recall - although not showing much sign of age: ripe dark fruit, exotic spice, licorice, bay leaf, coffee - layered and drop dead sexy w/lamb shank — 9 years ago
