Lighter bodied, juicy Grenache from Clarksburg. Fruit forward pomegranate jam, and strawberry without being over the top fruity. Great with a chill. Pair with chicken teriyaki or lamb schwarma. — 5 years ago

Interesting Carignane from vines planted in the 1890s. Rustic wine brimming with wild strawberry and pomegranate fruit. Violet notes with spice and lively acidity on the finish. — 7 years ago
Not that familiar with Zin but had a good mouthfeel, not much tannin, strawberry up front and was good with steak. — 7 years ago
Three shades of Pinot. Texture and creamy heft, green apple, but cutting and determined. Some lil Debbie xmas tree cake but no sweetness. Honeydew and lilac — 7 years ago
Quelle belle surprise ce-soir!!! Toujours impressionnant de déguster un vin de 67 ans! Le vin est pas bouchonné et aucunement oxydé....quelle chance!!
Des notes de cuire, champignons sauvages, terre humide, sous bois, feuilles mortes, mine a crayon et cette subtilité de fruits confits qui accompagne le tout. Le vin a un nez remarquable et tres racoleur. En bouche, c est léger et subtile! La finale est longue et dominée par ces belles notes de sous-bois!
En bref, un vin remarquable et une superbe expérience! — 5 years ago
Had to give this wine I used to buy in many vintages another shot, thanks to the comments from the Gevrey Villages Horizontal organized by @Hanibal
It didn’t disappoint, a slightly earthy nose with spices and wild berries. The wine is delicious, tension in the mid palate with lingering slightly tangy yet still pleasant tannins on the finish. Great price also for this Villages. 90-91
Nez épicé, terreux avec des arômes de cassis et de baies sauvages. Une bouche délicieuse, belle acidité avec des tannins appuyés mais de belle texture malgré une touche asséchante en finale qui est somme toute agréable, peu de GC Villages de ce niveau à ce prix. — 5 years ago
One of the very best Chablis I have experienced! — 6 years ago

Stunning bottle of wine. So unusual to find the Mourvèdre grape in isolation. Recommended to be by my Majestic rep, and boy was he right?!? A really interesting red; incredibly rich but with a delicate and elegant finish. My favourite wine to date. — 7 years ago
Decanted only 90 minutes, would have needed at least twice that. Aromas show a meaty side to start with, menthol, moving and getting more complex and aromatic with white pepper, dark fruits violets and herbs. The palate is powerful, full and dense, deep with lots of class, good length and with tannins that are not yet tamed and show a touch of rusticity and youth. A great bottle but a great bottle to be mostly, still needs 4-5 years. 93-94
Carafé 90 minutes seulement, aurait eu besoin du double au moins. Nez animal, viandeux un peu au départ, menthol, qui se complexifie et bonifie avec du poivre blanc, fruits noirs, des herbes et de la violette. Une bouche puissante, beaucoup de profondeur et de classe tout en ayant des tannins encore un peu sauvages et pas tout a fait domptés, belle longueur. Un grand vin, mais surtout un grand vin en devenir, a besoin de 4-5 ans encore au minimum. 93-94 — 5 years ago
Tart bing cherry flavors. Excellent Pinot. — 5 years ago
Fraises écrasées, baies sauvages, myrtilles, sous bois, tabac, notes, mentholées. La bouche est fraîche, fruits noirs, tanins très fondus. Fraîcheur en finale avec belle tension sur des fruits noirs et une seconde jeunesse qui se dévoile avec des tanins en finale — 6 years ago
Nice fine red wine, fairly dry and robust. Good with charcuterie. — 7 years ago
