DRC Richebourg 1971, in jeroboam: fully mature, but incredibly still fresh and vibrant and concentrated, with serious complexity, highlighted by notes of soy sauce and dueling sensations of cedar and forest floor. This bright, medium-to-full bodied star didn’t fade over the 90 minutes of dinner, and its finish trailed off into a seeming eternity. A top 5 wine of my life. — 8 years ago

The sunset adds 5 points... Cherry and earth dueling. Soft and simple palette. Not a wine that will amount to more than it is now, but it delivers none the less — 8 years ago

Ginger, coffee, cassis and mint swirl enticingly on the nose, and the wine opens with mint and black fruit, some apricot notes. At the mid palate poise and opulence seem to be dueling for precedence, but then the Mouton menthol, spices and nuttiness, and here some caramel and cassis, almost overtake the experience, and the nicely rounded tannins, and the seamless pervading core of fruit, the spice enlivened composure, lively if subtle acidity, along with truffles captivate on the simply bravura finish. — 9 years ago

This review is NOT for the Old Vine labeling.
Looking for a wine to go with the Thanksgiving meal? This Gamay will work perfectly with the array of dueling dishes on the table. (Put a couple away in the cellar and take another look around '19. You'll think you're a genius.) — 9 years ago

Kinetic sparkling wine from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. Lemon, hawthorn, and funk on the nose, then dueling gravity and raciness. So good. Traditional method/ Pinot Noir + Chardonnay / 12.6 abv — 10 years ago
