Clear expression of soil and salt in this one. Paired with everything on our menu (earlier) brilliantly with both weight and acidity. — 11 years ago

I opened this wine on 3/17/2013 for my new born son's homecoming dinner. this 37 years + wine is incredibly structure. The color of course is brownish but surprisingly clear with very little sentiment. The nose is spicy and oaky. On the tongue, a youthful peppery spicy follow by a caramel and almond note. 1/2 an hour later, the spice soften up, the almond note and a hint of slight burn sugar is in perfect balance. It could probably hold up for a few more year but it is a great time to open it. — 13 years ago

Clear, fading ruby color. Purple highlights of yourh. Nose is pure bliss! Warm cherries, pits, earth, sappy, tart cranberry. Medium body (surprising weight), low tannins, acid medium. Light, luscious red fruit with some hints of dark cherry. Very pretty! Very feminine! Very good! Drink or hold. — 12 years ago

It's young, no doubt about that. Might wait 5 years to open the next one... A lovely pure, greenish hue, fine, crystal clear; toast all the way - still closed but alluring; rounded and balanced, with good acidity. The fruit and sugar are present but well hidden. This will go on and on - a Bruce Forsyth like virility will keep this up for decades... — 11 years ago

Excellent bottle. The 01 is supposedly a better vintage but im not sure when it comes to this producer. Clear, day bright, garnet and orange brick like color, medium - concentration, orange/peach rim variation, slight sediment, low viscosity. Nose: sound, moderate intensity, stewed cherries/strawberries/raspberries, floral, spicy and lots of dill pickle and slight game. A mushroom note as well. Palate: dry, med- body, stewed plums over ripe cherries/strawberries, lilies, dill, vinegar, leather, button mushrooms, game, mulch with some cedar and coconut. Very complex. Med- tannins, medium alcohol, high acid, long finish. Between the 01 and the 98 its a tough choice of which one to put in the wine cooler to store. — 12 years ago
