So intense it borders on the pain pleasure threshold. Wow. Nose is gorgeous out of the gates. Earth. Olives. Mid season cherries. Psychotic. Stinging acidity. Just blasts the palate with freshness. Some gaminess. Wow. Bought from fass selections. ... drink from a Bordeaux glass. ... some godly grapy sweetness on the finish. — 6 years ago

Degorgée en septembre 2015. Style oxydatif habituel à Selosse. Un nez sur le pain et la brioche. En bouche, on a toujours l’impression de texture cremeuse et des notes de noix, de brioches, de peche. Une belle prestation mais j’ai préféré le Chetillons de Peters — 7 years ago

There is a reason this stuff is so hard to get. It's that freaking good. It's so good you would sell your mother in law to gypsies. For a bottle. Of course, most of us would do that for $1 so maybe that's not a good analog. Trust me, this is worth the pain of finding it. — 8 years ago

A very complex and layered wine. Great depth. Toasted nuts, graham cracker pie crust, dried apricot, golden raisins, crushed rocks, pain aux raisins, sea salt. There's a great earthy layer almost like damp button mushrooms. Lots of umami character. Love the nose, almost with this allusion that theres lots of RS but palate is defined and elegant. A beam of acid followed by a finish that is very persistent. — 9 years ago

Nothing like a glass of wine to complete a day filled with tears of joy, sadness, and pain. Very good wine. I'd label it a Full Body. Not too dry for mom. Very smooth. #laithwaites #wineclub #redredwine — 9 years ago

La Chapelle hits it out of the ballpark! Here is a Mâcon chard at under $20 that should be purchased by the case. A delicious hint of tropical fruits and no hint of oak on the palate. Some oak and pain grille aromas, but the balance here is spot on. This is a great find by Peter Weygandt. — 8 years ago

Modern style of St-Emilion, deep ruby color, full body, scents of pain grillé, ripe but not over-ripe black fruit, kirsch liqueur fresh acidity with a long heady finish. Succulent! — 8 years ago

Amazing dry Alsatian Gewurtztraminer. Special bottling. Cuvée Odile, from older vines on granite outcropping. Still fresh nose after 30 years. Earthy, pain d'épice, secondary aromas. Clean with great acid. Especially for Gewürztraminer. — 9 years ago

Approachable.
Lemon, lime notes w/ mineralic crushed stones notes.
Friendly acid levels
Medium body. Creamy texture. Lime, green and yellow apples in its characteristics blends w/ toasted pain. No distinctive oakyness.

Drinks well, but could age for another 10+ years. Try again in 5. Pair w/ tuna sashimi, gremolata and pickled apples. — 7 years ago

There are some places in the world where they view present day America as a place where we expect to be happy. Should we feel bad they live in places where you should just expect hardship? We live in a time and place where we can focus on building our inner selves and have a chance at....When we're not constantly putting out fires we can really focus on...should that be a source of shame. When the desperate struggle to find food and shelter is finally behind us, we can turn our attention to other sources of pain and truth.
This is the kinda wine you feel bad about being able to enjoy. I feel privileged. — 7 years ago

Probably the better long-term wine vs the Jeux de Mains. Pure old vine carignan. Unusual pain grillé thing on the nose (not from wood). Strong terroir wine, powerful precise flavors while being light-medium in the mouth. — 9 years ago

Oh ! Je n'en ai goûté que quelques centilitres dans un gobelet en plastique en plus mais ce vin est extraordinaire ! On me l'a présenté comme un siangiovese bianco et c'est assez rare m'a t-on dit ! C'est de la confiture de coing que l'on tartine sur du pain croustillant ; c'est un champ de fleurs blanches que l'on hume ; c'est ; c'est formidable ! — 9 years ago
