What can I say about this beautiful Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre, other than vines are 40-87 years and aged on lees for 10-14 months 60% oak casks, and 20% barrels. How about having the complexity and finish of a Château Smith Haut Lafitte without the need for Sémillon. Wow! — 9 years ago

Stunning...not great wines, but great bottles. We had a winner! An incredible olfactory experience...at the beginning currants, cigar, mint...then iron and cherry. In the top 3 BDX I've ever tasted. Tasted alongside 96 Giacosa, 85 Krug, 98 Latour a Pomerol, 95 Smith Haut Lafitte — 9 years ago

Magnum 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild. Drank w K at M School auction in Napa. Amazing. Such a great contrast to the 1989 Haut Brion. This didn't have that gamey character. Smooth, less acid, velvet mouthfeel and long finish. Epic. Hands down winner. Such a treat — 10 years ago

Brick, light robe. Haut Medoc, same area as Lafitte-Rothschild. Leather, tobacco, dry red fruit. Great with filet mignon, no sauce. Grown on deep gravel = perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon. Very good — 10 years ago
