Reddish black cherry color. Slightly translucent. Doesn't show its age in the glass. Nose of warm fruit with kirsch, with some secondary dirt and spice notes. In the mouth there wonderful rich coating of ripe black cherry, some wood, and still active tannin. Well balanced. Lasting finish. Great showing. Still on the upswing of its potential. — 8 years ago
Give this one a little time. But it may be THE (or one of certainly) benchmark wines for the appellation. — 9 years ago
Wow. Enough said. Lots of life yet but I don't think it will get better. Tied for wine of the year. Perfect match with ribs. — 11 years ago
Always a classic. Still a (relative) value. Balance, structure, texture, tension, integration and length. Just great winemaking. Benchmark Chard. — 8 months ago

A new fave! Delicious wine for a great price. Light funk on the nose, but bright mélange of apple and peach. Lafon négociant label. Great recommendation for chard haters. — 8 months ago

Went well with my steak-filled salad...as well as with my chocolate-covered walnuts afterwards. — 4 years ago
Fruity and lyrical. Nice with pesto and tomato pasta. Would be good in its own too. — 5 years ago
Very drinkable and nicely balanced. Nice cherry notes. Great wine for drinkers that aren’t into the heavier tannins of the stronger reds. — 5 years ago
Opened on 1/12/17. Very nice. — 7 years ago
Really good and great value! Purchased from the cellar sale! It's a full fruit flavor without much acidity. Not a steak wine! Maybe more of a pasta wine. — 8 years ago

Tastes very natural - surprising! One of the final Trollat vintages. — 11 years ago
Grand Finale bottle with Madi in NYC. Had high hopes for throttle given the vintage but didn’t really have the fruit for it to hold up. Searing acid and nuclear reduction which I love but just savory notes. — 8 months ago
