Great food wine! Good acid, dark currant, bramble wild berries, and chocolate covered blueberries. Velvet tannins. — 11 years ago
2005 - headed more towards modern style Rioja smelling of cherry, vanilla, blackberry, oak, tobacco, and cloves. Flavors are big and bold enclosed in subtle but thorough tannins: chocolate-covered cherries, tobacco, leather, cedar box, and hints of dill. — 10 years ago
Nose of spiced fruit cake and balsam. Dark chocolate covered cherries palate which are still a bit tight. Finish has bright mineral and crushed rocks. I think this is in a bit of an awkward phase. My hunch is this just needs some of the tannins to mellow a touch and secondary Flavors to emerge to become a classic wine. — 10 years ago

Layered, textured mocha covered plums — 10 years ago
Great desert wine, goes well with chocolate covered strawberries — 11 years ago
A very green wine, with white pepper written all over it. 12% of the Savoie is covered in this varietal known as Mondeuse (1 of 23 varietals?). My kind of wine! — 12 years ago

Fantastic bottle of wine that was completely reflective of the house and the vintage, powerful velvet covered magic carpet ride of deep red fruits...concentrated and weighty yet showed a lot of finesse. I'd say it has 15+ years — 10 years ago
