Fantàstica tinta fina, amb el seu punt just de fusta. Vi amb cos, ample en boca i llarg regust. Encara podia haver guardat uns anyets l’ampolla 😅. — 5 years ago

This is one of the best Italian wines I've had. Absolutely beautiful, balanced, nose is powerful and pallet matches. Bing cherry tart pie with a long finish and a little smoke on the nose — 8 years ago
The vines of Lilian-Ladouys are found a stone's throw from the Graves of Cos d'Estournel and the Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. Deep Ruby red color, with inky tones, blend of mostly Merlot, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, aged in French oak for 15 months, aromas of black and blue fruit, smoky notes and soft spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with toasty oak flavors, full body with fine tannins, long finish ending with earthy menthol mineral character. — 9 months ago
It was a special night. 26 year old wine, that incredibly felt like it was just bottled. Tannins still present. Rich black fruit, with graphite and pencil shavings. As special as it was to enjoy this bottle with friends, it’s hard to reconcile the value of the wine. We had a Cos De Estournel with this and it showed just as well at a fraction of the cost. — 4 years ago
100% syrah
Nose is beautiful. Raspberries blackberries melded at the dna level. Integrated. Just perfume. Flower of a spice. Very jumpy - launches itself at the nostrils. Just fills them.
Palate is perfect. Raspberries. Blackberries. Perfect texture spice. Fucking insane. A hint less dense than Podere forte but more perfumed. Like mountain water crazily infused with spiced raspberries. A hint of the most gorgeous licorice. Savory. Salivatory.
A very elegant syrah. Even more so than Cote rotie in a Sense. The crappy soils tone down the fruit expression so it’s much more refined and naked.
Silky texture. — 5 years ago
Served at red wine temperature. Baked apple was the dominant aroma upon opening but transforms into a sour ale nose with air. A creamy palate of white peach , apricot and a strong saline note. A wonderful accompaniment to all my dinner courses; Parisian ham , beef tartare, and fennel sausage. A unique wine that could divide the table. — 6 years ago

Tried côte à côte with the Cos D'Estournel '96, albeit the G.Larose was 375ml, this was so intensely concentrated/balanced & showing beautiful intensity of fruit. A true standout, but I've always loved this wine. — 9 years ago
Inexpensive but has very good flavour and worth trying. — 3 years ago
Quite a mystery, in the best way. Amber hue, melon and funk. Happy New Year! — 4 years ago

Nero is Martha’s grape. She spent her training at Cos and became one of the only, if the only, winemaker spotlighting the grape this side of the ocean.
It’s raw, seriously structured, and intensely tart. Mountain forest berries and a camp fire. Pine, mint, menthol, and cedar - Mezcal smoke circling above. Vibrant acid and tannin and ripe for food. Very good. — 6 years ago
Was served chilled, and it was interesting to see how the flavor developed. A bit funky, in a good way. — 7 years ago
