Inky dark color with bold and brooding fruit on the nose. You can almost feel the Syrah and Zinfandel gracefully grappling with each for dominance in the glass. Their internal clash has rounded out the edges and imparted great muscularity that culminates in a velvety finish, 10 seconds+. Adamantine. — 9 years ago

First reaction: wow, what *is* this? An explosion of wild berry and fresh cut flower flavors clash against charred meat and dark chocolate, swirling together in a way that's exciting, odd, and a little disjointed at first. There's some syrupy liquor on the back of the tongue along with more dark chocolate, espresso, and beef reduction in this bold, big-bodied wine. A bit of mint on the nose. A nice volcanic soil and granite minerality provides more structure and complexity. Alcohol is medium-plus. The finish is long, developing rose petal, onion grass and spice notes along the way without an overdose of wood. Much more integrated after a two hour decant. I asked my wine merchant to point me to something unusual, and he sure did! — 10 years ago

A lot of my Burgundy loving friends like rich white burgs with cheese. I haven't had any luck with the pairing, but thought I would give it another shot with homemade Mac and cheese. It didn't clash, but this rich, concentrated, energetic Chassagne was better on its own. — 11 years ago

Donna visit 11/3/16. Nose of flowers and butter and hints of minerals. Palate had acidic and stony and orally oaky notes. Long finish that is complex. However didn't go quite well with lobster poached in butter. The acidic and oaky elements seen to stand out and clash. — 9 years ago

Ruby red grapefruit and the peel, fresh pine, roasted pecan, with just enough caramel malt to impart some roundness and balance, but not so much as to clash with the hops. — 9 years ago

Perfect beer to pair with sushi or sashimi. Subtle floral notes with a hint of cherry and a light finish that will not clash with even the more delicate types of fish. — 10 years ago

Nice sparkling. Good lees on the nose and in the mouth, maybe too much? But I like it. — 11 years ago

Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Aged for 24 months in small French oak barriques, followed by additional aging in bottle. Requires a couple hours decanting and then opens up much more beautifully. Full-bodied, clash of cherry and blackberry, and finishes with deep focus on mouthwatering tannins. Magnificent Super Tuscan that displays age-ability and great depth, one that rivals Antinori, Sassicia and Ornellia. — 13 years ago

Love the bright golden straw color. Immediately after opening the nose was very animalistic. Did a dehydrated cat just pee on the bottle? Nope, okay. Moving on into lemon curd and wet cement. Settles with addition of straw and pear. Silky lemon bars on the mid with stone fruit undertones. I am reading that people are getting rubber on the mid/finish. I can agree. Bright sustained acids with the pear/lemon flavors balanced with the slate/cement minerality nearly clash with it's curd/silky texture but absolutely meld into a rad wine that makes me hungry for spicy ramen or miso cod. I'd take some calabrese salumi and stilton too. — 9 years ago

A clash of civilizations. Funky Syrah is not yet wholly integrated into the cab, a thin bead of water separates integration. — 9 years ago
