Ruby-red translucence with little to no rim variation. Red roses, prime rib with cedar smoke, pure, black cherry juice, dried rosemary, sliced red plum, frozen raspberries and a touch of blood orange make this an aromatic cousin of Nebbiolo, in a way. Medium, silly mouthfeel that genuinely delivers a sumptuous cranberry in warm raspberry juice stirred coldly into warm black and tart cherry to acheive a balance of temperature fruitwise. There is white pepper, a dash of graphite, dry, earthen dustiness, black olive and lime leaf. The whole burgeons into an endless concerto of complex herbs and metal-shop shavings awash in shining red fruits and flowers. Concentrated, and beautiful, but only the parts it was born with, and maybe a stave or two. #pinotparadise #pn #pinotnoir #oregonpride #oregonwines #boedecker #yamhillcarlton #americanpinot #singlevineyard #sheavineyards #Shea — 8 years ago

Had this on Easter with different fish dishes. Apricot notes on the palate, lingered well. I would suggest this to anyone. Fantastic refreshing flavors on a hot day 🍾 — 10 years ago

@Ted Mandes @Christine @Steve Colanero I've been fortunate to meet Victor Blanquart on several occasions. He's an awesome guy, great brand ambassador and every time I've met him he's holding a bottle of Louis for us to taste!! I'm thinking of inviting him over for dinner 5 times a week!! All kidding aside, Louis is by far, my absolute "Go To" cognac for any occasion that I want to remember forever. The story of how it is made is amazing. Breathing it in ever so gently from the length of your arm will begin your journey through a field of flowers, as you approach the nose it transforms, deepens and reveals more of itself layer by layer for what appears to be an endless harmonious concerto. A single drop will literally create an explosion of tastes which again appears to go on endlessly. I scored it a 9.8 since I've never had the pleasure of tasting their legendary Rare Cask or their black pearl. I can even begin to imagine how this bottle could be any better!! Its that good and every time I enjoy a few ounces I consider it a privilege. Truly amazing. — 9 years ago

This wine was rated the top red wine in the "Allt om Vin" magazine's rating of Systembolagets wines of 2015. IGT or IGP labeling due to Merlot and Cab Franc inclusion into the wine. Double-decanted bottle tested after 3h:
The wine is dark ruby-purple at core and pink-watery at rim; nose is surprisingly sweet floral possibly from nicely integrated new oak, black and red currants but not much more; on the palate it is youthful, tannic and robust, finish is long and the overall mouthfeel is elegant, refined on the one hand, and lacks a bit of bite, on the other hand. which makes it different from most of my Tuscan experiences. Will see how it evolves in the cellar!
Had with Schumann's piano concerto and British cheeses. — 10 years ago

Woah - this is great stuff. On first pour, waves of beautiful balsamic infused macerated black cherries and plums. Very rich, with strong rose, herbs, and tarry notes throughout. Boatloads of grippy tannins that are surprisingly well integrated I to the whole. Despite the raspy finish, a distinctly silky impression overall. (We had to leave most of the bottle to catch Emmanuel Ax playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1) Cut to a couple hours later and the wine has calmed down a little, lost a little of that overwhelmingly intensity, but that has allowed the rose, herbal, and earth notes to show through. Still sweet balsamic fruit at its core, but the tannins are more civilized. The only real hint that this is from a lesser vintage is that it fades a little quickly on the finish. But boy, those rose-inflected echoes are haunting. — 9 years ago

Hard to decide whether to pair this meal with a mellow piano concerto or raw, soulful funk. And that's what I love about cru Beaujolais. — 11 years ago
