Coming from "Au Bas de Combe (Vosne like) and Aux Barrieries" Cherry, black currant, spice. Little bit in the more modern style. Drink now through the next 5 years. — 8 years ago
'85 Pothier-Rieusset stunning nose of ripe Pinot Noir medium body with rich flavors of berries and earth. Still quite youthful and giving huge quantities of PN fills the nostrils. Virgil Pothier was a fine man and wine maker. — 9 years ago

Nose: floral, berries, intense, nicr
Taste: woodsy, forest, cherry, rasberries, definitely french. Great structure and balance, nice tannins. Great with food and explore
Finish: subtle, balanced and stays with you. Acfentuates food. Fantastic pairing wine.

Drink: now or wait a couple

Rose, cranberry, lavender, redcurrant, plum on the nose with a beautiful hint of effervescence on the palate and similar delicate red flavors, finishing with textural complexity and bright acid. Lovely with a slight chill and beautiful pairing with calf liver and duck frites. Here we come summer friendly reds! — 7 years ago
CVed 12/29/16. As I remember it from years ago. Funky earthy notes and darker cherry notes that carry through to palate and long finish. Different wine from other three. Opened 1/21/17 at MRs dinner. Tasting the same. Crowd favorite. — 9 years ago
Des notes de réglisse, de fruits rouges et d'épices au nez. En bouche, la rondeur et la structure tannique est remarquable. Les fruits rouges macérés dans l'alcool sont très présents. Quel excellent vin ! Débouché sans doute au meilleur moment ! — 9 years ago
Amazing. Complex entry, medium to soft middle and the most amazing lemon, citrus and curd end. Almost like a delightful lemon chiffone or key lime. — 9 years ago
Super light. Best if a little chilled. — 10 years ago
