Côte-Rôtie Deep ruby with purple highlights. Clean, medium-plus nose with a riot of aromas including medicinal overtones of iodine and tar, black olive licorice, black pepper and exotic spices. Medium plus acidity, medium plus ripe tannins with all the aromas mirrored on the palate. Excellent multi-layered wine with a long finish. — 10 years ago

Elegant and penetrating. The austerity of the ultrabrut style is redeemed in the persistent pear-fruited finish. — 11 years ago

50% stainless 50% oak. Crisp and bright on the nose and a long buttered toast finish. — 11 years ago

Actually this is the Brut Nature, aged longer before disgorgement (26mo) and no dosage. One of my favorite pairings with (difficult) artichokes. — 13 years ago

9.2

Stewed blackberries, black raspberries, earth, anise, baking spices. Excellent acid/minimal smooth velvet tannin balance, juicy slightly silky texture, medium bodied, fruity warm spicy finish. Big fruit with the acid structure to support it. — 11 years ago

9.0

This, on the other hand, has no VA issues, just an insane variety of aromas and flavors. Barnyardy funk, spices (cinnamon even?), along with what I swear comes off as garlic to me. I'd like a bit more body though, and it seems pretty tannic still. A few years in bottle will probably do this some good, but this is unique and fun to drink anytime. #ganevatwednesdays — 11 years ago

Beautiful aromas of yeast, mangos, guava and a whole lot of sexy time — 11 years ago

Oh damn. Definition of tension. Tightrope walk of blanc de blanc precision, crazy length and minerality. Beautiful stuff. — 11 years ago

Matt Perlman

9.2

Youthful, vivacious, light on its feet, with an untamed side as with many Laval wines. Iron, rose and cherry nose; palate is bone dry with the echo of red berries, cherry, blood orange and rhubarb and smoky mineral finish. — 11 years ago
