Layered nose of blueberry preserves, rusty nail, spice box, burnt oak, vanilla and clove. In a great place right now, with round, soften tannins and lingering vibrancy. Forest berry fruit on the palate. Medium plus finish. — 9 years ago

Dark deep red in color. The smell is a bit boozy and you can easily smell the merlot but if you really focus you smell the cab. There is a nice acidity and a bit of an alcohol taste that meld together with the cab and merlot. The oak is the there but in the background. The finish is quite nice with the merlot and cab fighting for dominance. The body, complexity, and overall taste are amazing for a cheap wine. I recommend buying a lot of this at TJs. — 9 years ago

It seems everyone in #Burgundy is fighting the premox problem and #MarcelEnte appears to be winning the battle as this marvelous magnum attests--classic fleshy #Meursault with just enough oak influence to give it a seductive complexity that seems to be enhanced by the #magnum bottle format--drinkable now but has loads of aging potential! #closdesambres #2011 — 10 years ago

Bold and wants to be noticed. Cab Franc is fighting it out with the oak for honors of most prominent aroma. Stewed berries, bell pepper and Stagecoach dust. — 10 years ago

Fighting components. Another % alcohol would make it stellar. — 10 years ago

Yellow pear, green apple, lots of wet rocks. Not as fragrant as I expected, so expect it's a little past its prime. Still in fighting form with ripping acidity, no sign of tiring, just lacking floral elements characteristic of the variety. — 10 years ago

Short but intense. Rounded and dusty dry at the same time. It seems like the Shiraz and Mataro are fighting each other. — 11 years ago

This is an utterly fantastic wine! Developing nose with coing aromas, white peaches and flowers. Fresh, clean, sharp attack on the palate with zesty, lively body, some tannins, but overly rich and structured. Easy to drink although this is a more of a food wine type. Long finish with salty elements, perhaps the "lees" fighting back the delicacy and savoury elements out there? I am well impressed and very well satisfied! — 11 years ago

I don't know about all of you, but I'm getting tired of fighting Delectable on identification of bottles. Really has gone downhill recently. Anyway, this is NOT the grand cru...but it's still terrific! — 9 years ago

One of the oldest champagne houses. Lost most of its reputation in the 90s. Good to see they are fighting back because I was pleasantly surprised by this bottle. — 9 years ago

Instant toast diffused upon cock opening, followed by smoky yellow apple and white flower aroma. Body was smooth and balanced with vibrant acidity and smoky toast. Lingering mineral finish wrapped up the experience. Great wine from Francois Carillon — 10 years ago

2014 Clean Slate riesling from the Mosel. Paired with a fairly dry halibut and a fairly awesome scallop/prosciutto/cauliflower puree dinner, this was a nice surprise. Peaches, orange oil, sandstone and wet rocks on the nose with the peaches and minerality fighting for dominance on the palate. It's a juicy, highly acidic riesling that for the price is a nice little wine. — 10 years ago

2004 Pegau. Always great. My favorite wine. Give me a vertical of Pegau on a desert island and I am happy. The family preferred the Cab so I enjoyed almost all of this delicious 04. Fighting with my waiter for the last pour in the bottle. Not the greatest vintage but so well balanced and intergrated flavors tonight. The seaweed/barnyard nose was just perfect with my steak at 910. — 11 years ago

This is a fabulous wine with toasted oak, chocolate, dark fruit and silky tannins. Nice soft and structured finish. Just received my allocation of the 2013 Brand and I am fighting the urge to open a bottle now. Great job Ed and Deb. — 9 years ago

Beautiful plum ruby color with a lighter almost orange rim on it.

The nose is pretty and fragrant. Inky and acetone to start on the nose leads to wild berries with mocha and coffee dusted almonds. The tannins are grippy as hell, fighting you as you swallow. I say the finish drops off too quickly for it to get a higher score, but it has tremendous potential. — 9 years ago

What a find. I have never had a Godello wine before. Nose was different with honeysuckle and mineral soil fighting each other. Palette was balanced with perfect acidity. Lime peel and tropical flowers is the closest I could get on the taste. An unripe cantelope sneaks in. A distinct earthy, slightly salinic finish with the honeydew melon. Fantastic complex Spanish dry white. I would drink again — 10 years ago
