Like Lucky Charma, it’s magically delicious. Like, crazy good. — 6 years ago
I imagine this will go up by a point or two in the next few years but it’s crazy young. That being said, it’s quite easy to sip. Creamy on the front palate...bubbles are so tiny it’s hard to pick them out. Toasted brioche, limestone, honeyed cashews show once this has had an hour+ to open. Dom always has such a nice mid-palate of candied fruit and toasted honeycomb. Give it time! — 7 years ago
Drank this at a crazy lunch at Guy Savoy in Paris and will never forget it. Such a fleshy fruity memorable bottle. — 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 ! — 9 years ago
Juicy, crazy perfume, supa fine tannins and wildly delicious. It will be difficult to keep my hands off of the other bottles. — 9 years ago
2011 Jamet Cote Rotie
Stunning wine with crazy flavors yet totally different from almost any other syrah I have had. Lean and austere yet very full flavored. A unique wine. The opposite end of the spectrum from a Saxum or Alban or Barossa Valley Syrah. — 7 years ago
If the 2010 Dauvissat forest on the prior night was about pleasure then this is about pain. Piercing; incredibly palate staining grapefruit rind and lemon segments. Long and tense. Still felt crazy young (or shutdown?) We did enjoy it but I’d wait on this if you can — 8 years ago

Nice very dark fruit noise, super smooth with light spicy finish. Tasted w Bob Lindquist at Rhone Rangers SF tasting. — 9 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!! — 5 years ago

Enjoyed while cleaning out the boss' cellar. Say what you want about this wine, but the one thing you can say is that this wine is incredibly consistent. This wine reminds me of the family uncle who always gives you some silver dollars at Christmas...even though you are now a grown adult. And if you actually listen to his crazy advice on investing when you were a kid, you just might be able to be that Uncle when you grow up. This wine is a thoroughbred. Meant to be consumed at least after 10 years. And this wine is in a really good spot. The nose does show a tiny bit of age as does the palate. This is front-loaded with slightly aged blackberry and a bit brambly. This wine smoothed out quite a bit over 3 hours. Finish with very nice integration, a hint of stiff oak tannin but a lot of it has resolved. Very enjoyable. This wine still has another 10 or 15 years left. — 6 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

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
