Smooth and good flavor. Had while at Elemental Pizza in downtown Tacoma. Was young but could taste the potential. — 9 years ago
How does one tidy up a #day of #snowboarding? with a bottle of #pinotnoir from #japan of course. scents of tilled, damp soil, freshly scattered mulch, broken brambles, & slivers of pata negra follow thru on a palate highlighted by memory evoking flavours of pleasingly tart, just picked red huckleberries while traipsing thru a temperate #rainforest in Southeastern Alaska. Pretty damn expressive & heaps tasty. Get some. #nanatsumori by Domaine Takahiko Soga. Something to linger over, the elemental urgency, litheness & raw, electro beauty of this wine. — 9 years ago
Elegant. Elemental. Better on day 2 with raspberry and cherry and forest floor on a taut frame with decent length for a base bottling and tannins to hold for 3-6y if not more. Barely new world. — 10 years ago

Great flavor and elemental structure- from a family friend's winery. Top notch! — 11 years ago
Elemental, extraordinaire, earthal. — 12 years ago
Not going to expound upon vintages and weather. This is a really nice wine. Some will say this is a Janoueix play on a new World style. But I find it compellingly balanced for a Bordeaux from a generously vaunted region. The nose a mish-mash of arboreal cuts, with pine interceding, but also a slick, black, stony core that sloughs smoky, elemental suggestions. A tar and graphite mouthful, showing depth without getting gritty or pronounced, then settling on a supple note of blueberry-currant on the carry through, but pleasant and enduring like an empowering conquest! Rise above! Plenty of residual perfume to make it salacious. Dirty as you want to be. — 9 years ago
This is rad, a very good example of why people are freaking out over natural wines. Earthy and elemental. — 9 years ago
Paired well with roast chicken thighs with lemon and garlic — 10 years ago
While I am a novice, this is far and away my favorite wine. A blend of pinot noir and gamay, there is a lot of fruit and spice! Perfect to pair with light fare like salad and amazing on warm summer days. — 11 years ago
The most crisp, elemental, organic flavored I've ever had in a Riesling. Reminds me of a rain stick. Bubbles dancing on the tongue. — 11 years ago
Cellar temp is where this shows best. Slightly oxidative, this shows round edges & mineral complexity on open, but as it breathes it takes on a wonderful elemental/earthy/umami character on both nose and palate. Versatile as they come. It would be a companion for most fish & fowl on the table, but ideal for a cheese board as well. — 9 years ago
Sharply defined. Elemental. Characterful. Rough in a way my untutored palate admires. Stands up to the salsa and cilantro. Bravo! — 9 years ago
Clever wine. Very clever. — 10 years ago
Pure. Elemental. Spring is here. — 10 years ago
This is elemental and overwhelmingly good. Gripping and young but full of stuffing and perfectly balanced. — 11 years ago
So smooth! — 12 years ago

Sunday roast chicken and @seriouseats crispy potatoes in the foreground, my favorite 2 elves in the back. Somewhere in the middle a Syrah ANIMAL. Delicious. Elemental. Bow down to the master 🤘. — 9 years ago
