1979 vintage. In magnum. At Hotel du Marc. Pale copper hue. On the nose, soy sauce, cranberry sauce, red currant, saline minerality. On the palate, medium plus acidity, medium minus body, medium concentration of flavour. Longish finish. Very good indeed. Drink now - in magnum, could age for another 5 years +. — 9 years ago

Doesn't start out this way but ends surprisingly full and fruity, Rich. Good bang for the buck. — 8 years ago
Color of dark amber. Nice nose of green apple, spice, mint, ripe banana, and aldehyde. Taste of condensed brown sugar, toffee, a bit spice, a bit minty, and very smooth. Nice green apple and black tea aftertaste on the tongue. A good bottle with decent mix of sweetness and spice. A bit lack in complexity but overall very enjoyable and easy to drink. — 9 years ago

2014. Very nice blend for the price. Let it open up for awhile first. Does beg for food, but can be consumed alone if you like drinking reds without food. — 8 years ago
Beautiful copper color, crisp and subtle cherrie notes. Be great with chicken or fish. — 9 years ago

2014,,, Jolie-Laide, Fannucchi Road Vineyard, Sonoma County, Trousseau Gris. One of the most gorgeous wines ever (color). A rich, shimmering copper. This is aging well. Much better than the first bottle that I opened for Mother's Day last year. Bright, tart strawberry and a hint of tangerine. Just a great patio wine on a crisp Spring evening. One bottle left. When is the 2015 available? — 9 years ago
Yum. Not dry. Not sweet. — 10 years ago
Moody copper gold in color. Wonderfully mature, botrytis infused, sugar-coated pecans, salty caramel, cookie dough, dried guava, cappuccino cream, cured ham. Did I say it's very complex!? Really love the balance and mixture of full-throttle sweetness and mouthwatering savoury, hearty elements. Beautiful wine to sip and contemplate on this perfect Indian-Summer-Sunday.... — 11 years ago
