From a great old looking bottle with a mid shoulder fill. Cork is fully saturated and the crud under the capsule had formed a strong seal. Slow-ox’d for a few hours, then decanted for an hour or two before taken to L’Escargot in Carmel. Amber tawny rims with a reddish tawny core. Crazy nose right from the start. Notes of sweet black cherries, tobacco leaf, plums, black pepper, ash and crusty wood, pencil shavings, some just unwrapped cigar and some menthol. Silky in the mouth with firm structure and soft but present acidity. Long and memorable finish. Outstanding performance over several hours. — 5 years ago

Young wine with mild OH on the nose paired with very nice fruit. Plums, prunes, and blackberry on the palate, but lighter than most cabs. Nice finish, and the recommendation was spot on as this wine definitely punches above it's weight at $20+. Curious as to other opinions. — 8 years ago

Crazy rosatto by the king of Etna Frank Cornelissen ! Powerful, complex and intriguing nose on wild strawberries, pomegranate, grapefruit, cut grass... super fresh palate with kicking acidity, high bitterness and... tannins ! Radical wine and I love it ! — 10 years ago

This wine is such a classic Bordeaux for me. Gorgeous garnet color with a cherry red rim. Crazy good aromatics and juicy, silky on the palate. This wine reminds me of why I started down this enjoyable wine drinking journey in the first place. A bit like coming home. — 5 years ago

Wow! Still bright, chalky, and full of youthful grip. Red plum, raspberry, lichee and white pepper notes are most dominant. This could easily go another few years and not be at its peak. — 6 years ago

Pinot from the most unsuspecting region (Baden), you would be crazy to not buy this in 6 or 12 packs, it's that delicious and around $30! — 9 years ago

A nose of heavy citrus with an under pining of fresh cut grass. The flavor is heavily citrus on the palate, dry, with a minerality and flavors of lemon, peach, and high acidic fruits. The finish is slightly vegetal and surprisingly dry, but very tasty. Paired with Thai food. — 5 years ago

Fruit is still there! One of my favorites! Bob Foley is as good a winemaker as there is on the planet! Big, fruit driven, plum and rich, but incredibly balanced. Just so good!! — 6 years ago
