Good.. This is a more traditional nebbiolo to my palate. There's a whole lotta botti in this wine. — 9 years ago
Enticing bottle of mature white burgundy — 10 years ago
Ripe berries, blue- and strawberries with tannins to supply a lattice for the seductive flavours. Elegant acidity. — 10 years ago
This is a silkier, more elegant vintage of the Chapelle, at least relative to the 2010, which was really in my zone, as well as the 2009, which I found over-the-top, but in both cases I think there was more stuffing there than here. This would've shown better if I'd opened it with white meat or even fish or something else where a lightweight presence and loose-knit structure is called for. It's an excellent wine in that idiom but lacks some of the solidity and grip it has offered in other years. It's not imbalanced at all, and the trademark stony mineral flavors are still here, it's just a slimmer version of its usual self. — 11 years ago
And on the 3rd day it showed the best — 11 years ago
Soy, white pepper, aircraft carrier of big plum jam and cranberry, a touch of heat on the finish, gentle allusions to leather, long way to go but good juice — 12 years ago
a little acidic at first but it really opens up as you drink it. i like it more and more. — 6 years ago
Still youthful garnet color. Almost opaque. Fruit forward nose with notes of black cherry, rhubarb, brambly brush, moist earth and a little menthol. Fruit matches the acidity and delivers amazing balance. Another 96 that seems to have come around. A few years the acidity was too much to handle, but now it’s got a nice balance. — 8 years ago
Nice Albariño. Citrus and florals present. Great summer supper. Purchased at Keif & Co in NOLA — 9 years ago
Creamy and hoppy with grapefruit like bitterness on the finish. Can't go wrong with Chouffe. — 10 years ago

Great balance between white pepper and minerality. A little too light for bbq but great for 2+ glasses with a full moon out tonight. 2012 Ribiera Sacra - Pena do Lobo. Nevermind the thirsty monkey #riberasacra #redwine #red #spain — 11 years ago
A nice Beaujolais from a vintage that I don’t usually love compared to 2014/2016. Definitely better with an hour or so in a decanter to let the tannins integrate a bit more. Dark purple in the glass - darker than expected. Nice cherry aromas. Still could resolve a bit more on the finish but with a slight chill is nice. — 6 years ago
Smokey leather and raspberry, velvety smooth on the palate. A hint of oak in the nose. — 7 years ago
Big wine, very modern and a bit sticky but still classy pedigree — 9 years ago
Such a beautifully expressive & high toned Langhe, if only other Langhe's could give back so much at a young age. — 9 years ago
Nice peppery kick without any jammy sweetness. Great deal for the quality. — 10 years ago

Pale ruby, pronounced nose of roasted red peppers, paprika, blueberries. Pronounced flavor intensity. Refreshing and quite long finish. — 11 years ago
Earth, sweet strawberry, floral, leather, clove, acid keeps it fresh tasting, light in texture. I would drink up — 11 years ago
