Really nice distinctive wine. Very pretty. With while cluster ferment employed on the Grenache the wine shoes perfect balance between fruit and depth. Definitely put in the cellar and make certain to have enough in hand to drink now and throughout the year. Fantastic wine. — 10 years ago

2012 vintage. Opening up beautifully. A true surprise of the evening! Dark berry, plum, kirsch/pleasing sour cherry, slightest smoked meat, bit of black pepper. Saddle shoes (don't laugh; it's a memory & an image). Nice structure, pleasing tannins & finish. — 10 years ago

2012 shows so much early, a great parting vintage from the Resonance vineyard. Jadot has big shoes to fill with their takeover. — 10 years ago

A pretty good black IPA, not the best in the style, but more like a hopped up proter/stout, rich chocolate, Expresso, roasted malt, very nice, very good hop bitterness works with that sweet malt backbone, but not much on the citrus notes, that is why I stand by it is more like a hopped up proter/stout than a true back IPA, but again, enjoyable — 11 years ago

Digging Gigondas. But this guy isn't ready to take his shoes off yet. He'll need a couple years to clean up. J5 likes it. He says "mmm, that's good" — 12 years ago

Shoe shine guy taking care of the your fine leather shoes, another guy smoking a good montecristo outside a coffee shop next to you. Sweet vanilla, tobacco leather minerals cocoa and flowers blending magnificently on you palate forcing you to remember that he came from that soil.... Sublime ....awesome, classic and rustic in the same breath ... Wow — 10 years ago

Somewhat reduced upon opening, but after it blows off this wine shoes its stuff. My friends' blind guesses were Burgundy and Côtes de Provence. Pretty fun for a biodynamic 100% Syrah from Collioure in granite soil. — 10 years ago

The restaurant translates to "400 Blows". The tasting menu was to die for. The recommended wine from the sommelier - perfect, right down to the clown. — 12 years ago
