Nose of mushroom, forrest floor, bramble berries, iron. Really nice to see those tertiary notes coming through.
Palate is soft and velvety with red fruit, a touch of sour cherries, some spicy oak notes, and a dusting of fine tannins. Light to medium body.
A very fine, elegant, easy drinking, but still complex G-C. I'm glad we opened this now since I can't see it getting much better. — 6 years ago

KS, M, C, G. Deep aroma of red berries, strawberry, red pepper, pepper rose, paint, gouache, sour cranberries, cranberries, raspberries, red apple, black berries. Everything is very bright, dense and saturated. Excellent balance - light sweetness, excellent acidity, very good body. Long pleasant fruit aftertaste. A wonderful juicy and stretching wine! — 8 years ago
Winner of the G-C samplers. Silky and austere. Duck breast. This is the case for cellaring — 9 years ago
Fruity, ripe cherry and raspberry undertones. Drinking perfectly. Not bad for a wine from a master vigneron wedged between the more celebrated G-C and C-M! — 11 years ago

Better than the 16, not as sweet.

$20.00 out the door doesn’t hurt either

Vidonia Listan Blanco. White wine from Canary Islands! Blind taste during dinner at Press w J&A C, B&Ver G, and K. We all thought it was an aged Chardonnay. Lovely. Round and deep and great to drink. Super interesting and would love to find again! — 11 years ago

Quelle belle surprise ce-soir!!! Toujours impressionnant de déguster un vin de 67 ans! Le vin est pas bouchonné et aucunement oxydé....quelle chance!!
Des notes de cuire, champignons sauvages, terre humide, sous bois, feuilles mortes, mine a crayon et cette subtilité de fruits confits qui accompagne le tout. Le vin a un nez remarquable et tres racoleur. En bouche, c est léger et subtile! La finale est longue et dominée par ces belles notes de sous-bois!
En bref, un vin remarquable et une superbe expérience! — 5 years ago
9 years on lees, 55/25/20 Chard/PB/PN. Barrel fermented, zero dosage, 3.05 pH. 6 g/L TA. Deep gold. Toasted brioche, vanilla cream, ripe apricot, mango, and pineapple, sweet baking spices. Pronounced intensity and long finish. Medium acidity. — 6 years ago
Vintage 2008 / Confession: I am really bad in recognising #tempranillo. So I ‘punish’ myself regularly to taste and drink it 🤨 Today it makes me really happy. A nice roof tiles colour, a smell with spices, warm cooked summerfruit, but above all: E L E G A N C E. Beautiful mouthfeel, satin, smooth. A wine you can easily underestimate, with finesse. Probably I would not recognise it as #rioja tasted blind, it is such a fine wine. Great effort of this Spanish winegrower. / technical: 85% tempranillo 10% graciano and 5% maturana. 30 months aging in French oak barrels. — 7 years ago

A ringer for V vs. G, but didn't taste that out of place. Just a touch too sugar-y. — 9 years ago
