Gorgeous 2009 Châteauneuf du Pape from Château du Beaucastel. Drinking very well right now. Opulent and seductive CDP displaying an elegant blend of herbs, chocolate and fruit. A lingering finish reminiscent of spice and perfume of diptyque candle that has been extinguished. This is a winner. Would someone send me a case for Xmas please? ❤️ — 9 years ago

this one surprised me--would never ever give a second thought to Italian Syrah, but this was elegant and harmonious and damn fine all around. — 9 years ago

Great subtle gamay. I've always loved this wine (produced organically with no added yeast). I first tried this wine around 1992. Loved it then (bought a case) and it's still great today. This family knows what's it's doing with this wine. — 10 years ago

Bursting from the glass. Showing some oak but not overly. Full and balanced. Minerality and great fruit. — 11 years ago

An oddity for me, strange at first until a stink blew off. But what emerged was neat, very different, young Nebbiolo on steroids. — 11 years ago

Wow. I had a glass of this and could still taste it two hours later (not always a good thing but in this case it was). Taste like a hike on Mount Veeder. — 9 years ago

Not as good as the 98 but still pretty enjoyable showing lots of the qualities of an older mature wine with ripe tanins and mature fruit - good bit of richness for a Pinot — 9 years ago

Fake wine. Cork said 1967. Came from a case that had others that had corks with 1964 on them that were shaved off. This was a wine that was doctored by the famous Rudy Kurniwan, now in jail. — 10 years ago

Annata 2013. Vino marino, mediterraneo, colore paglierino e profumi di fiori, poi mela ed erbe aromatiche. Sapido e morbido, grande bevibilità, davvero buono. — 11 years ago

My dad and grandpa each bought a case of this wine 20ish years ago and this is the last bottle. So ridiculously delicious it's not even funny. Feel lucky to be able drink such good wine! — 12 years ago

Another level... Still dense at the core, with steady, attractive bricking: Wonderfully dense nose of blackcurrents, pencil shavings, fine tanned leather, and a hint of woodland floor (fine moss, leaves, and fresh soil after an autumn shower). Velvety tannins and great acidity. Along with the '66 this is one of my all-time favourite Bordeaux vintages. Seems to be keeping up better than the '61s I've had over the last few years!

We drank half of it from the coravin before waxing the top in case the cork had lost too much elasticity to self-seal. I'll have the rest with my brother in a few weeks' time! — 9 years ago

This is bold and flavorful! It is so good. I'd totally buy a case of this. It drinks at a $32 bottle level. — 11 years ago

The last bottle of a case bought on release. Fragrant nose of wood smoke and spice. Big bold dark fruit, some oak, resolved tannin and only a hint of alcohol.
Definitely the most lively of my last few bottles, could go another 3+ years. — 11 years ago
