Bright and fresh nose. Fresh white flowers and a touch of sandalwood. On the palate a broad, ripe citrus, fresh and long. Ripe. Lacks some of the steel of other vintages. Very good — 10 years ago

What a beauty! Creamy, defined and rich. Perfumy with flowers, mint, sweet apples, minerality and very concentrated honest power. Acidity is angular, very bright and holds this huge palate together nicely (and oh boy, I wish I had a time machine to see how it evolves in 10 years). I'm still trying to crack that dominant aftertaste note — it's almost cake-like sweet, with some nutty backbone and caramel on the top. Absolutely in love. — 11 years ago

I understand it to be a unique blend of Syrah and Pinot. — 12 years ago

Very young but lovely fresh apricots, peaches and pineapple. Honeysuckle and white flowers. What really makes this wine amazing though is the body. It's big and round the whole way through where so many Sauternes fall either in the middle or finish. Lovely. — 10 years ago

Wow! Bright yellow sun gold hues. Smells are herbaceous and iron driven with notes of warm yellow fleshed tomatoes and beeswax. Taste is bright with present salivating acids. Salty notes of sea coast must. — 11 years ago

Cloudy ruby, this wine smells of earth and cedar and dried red fruits. In the mouth, dried flowers and forest floor mix with river-mud-tannins and a bright juicy acidity. Tasted out of magnum. — 10 years ago

Great value Nebbiolo that punches above its weight. Infanticide? Maybe. Bright acid, youthful tannins, earthy, purple flowers. — 11 years ago

If you look up the word "sublime"in the dictionary, you'll see a photo of this bottle. In such a perfect place right now, fully integrated, stony satin, lemon butter, white flowers. Hammers home all the reasons to maintain a wine cellar. — 12 years ago
