Sorry guys, I found this short and uninteresting. A bright black fruit front just dies in the palette and disappoints me in the end. Entirely possible that this bottle needs at least 5 more years in bottle. Cornas is fickle. — 10 years ago

Loveeee. Fickle and nervy but showing beautifully. Medium acid, high toned herbals, & red fruits galore! — 10 years ago
This is so delicious. Really quirky packaging 'hints of lipstick and leather'. Perfect to drink now but definitely better after it's been open a day or so. — 10 years ago

1990 DRC Romanee St. Vivant Burgundy. Drank this alongside the 1990 Richebourg at private room Melisse dinner. This wine is more fickle, less assertive, and playful- hard to pin down. So interesting and delicious, but overshadowed by the Richebourg. — 10 years ago

My last bottle. A surprising wine from younger vines, this is meant to be the "low end" wine from Torbreck. However, this wine has taken awhile to show its true potential. Excellent clarity with some brickishness at the edges. Still quite vibrant with at least another 5-7 years left in it. The mataro shows through strongly, but mixes well with the more forceful Aussie Grenache. The candied cherry mixes with a slight funkiness to give away the mataro, but intrigue you to want to know more. Obviously fined and filtered (no sediment to speak of at 11 years old) this is a restrained Barossa red, but very elegant. This is no "juvenile" but a precocious mistress, a Lolita, if you will. Worth seeking out. Worth having again. Dave Powell understands what this wine can be. Bravo. — 12 years ago
