Great drop 2013 — 9 years ago
The perfect perfume from a hybrid of flower and fungi. A strawberry cyborg with meaty core. Stones comprised of smoky dust. These embody the dichotomies of good Pinot. In it come together the disparate physics of the ethereal. There is citrus in the red plum and guava. Copper in the pine bark. Icebergs in the sweltering river. The body is nuanced, quick as live blood, with mineral weight. Cranberry with mint that turns to thyme, to orange, to feldspar. Star anise that becomes a tart strawberry and raspberry interplay. This is a beauty playing the perfect hostess to terroir and desire. A fine bedside wine. The fruits resonate with seemingly endless vibrations between tart and citric, ripe and decomposing. Chalky earth, nitric sky and briny ocean. — 10 years ago

2002 vintage Rose. Light salmon, copper hue. Chalk, wet rock to the fore. Red currant and cranberry. Slight blossom notes. Iron fragments. On the palate, very lean and balanced as is the Crystal style. Not the concentration of the white 2002. If there's any tannins here, you have to focus to notice them. Maybe at the back end there's a touch of weight from the tannins. Very young - too young. Don't touch for 7-10 years. Makings of a great wine as acidity is so balanced with the fruit. Love it. NB: Pinot cold macerated for 4 days - to extract colour but little tannins. Then blended with Chardonnay and co-fermented. Quite unique. No added red wine per se. — 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

Beautiful copper hue, notes of dried apricots, almonds and tangerine rind. Fresh, lively, delicious. Possibly the best orange wine out there. — 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.
