Birth year wine for the birthday. Cork crumbled on opening. Beautiful color, the bottle age really shows. Cherry on the nose, a little barnyard funk too. Still some tannins, but they fade quickly. Certainly a couple years past, but it's easy to imagine how wonderful this was in its prime. — 8 years ago

Very pretty notes of cherries, strawberries, & slight barnyard funk on the nose. Slightly sappy & stemmy, but very young & tight. Light bodied, red fruits, some sap & minerality with medium acid. A lovely soft and fruity finish. Silky. Needs cellar time. — 10 years ago

Absolutely amazing. Lots of good brett. Balanced and delicious. Great dark fruit aromas and flavors. So smooth. Medium high tannins and acidity. Perfect silky texture. A little funk on the nose and palate (positive). Aroma and flavors are out of this world. Leather bag full of cherries and raspberries. Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carmenere. Complex. Delicious 13.5% abv — 10 years ago

Wrong in so many ways, then became so right. Weird backwardly burgundy esque funk and sweat with pure fruit behind. Intriguing! — 11 years ago

I love a light red that packs a punch and this wine is exactly that! Bright acidic cherries, smoke, and funk with a little plum and currant on the nose. Get it in your mouth! — 12 years ago

Pretty amazing! Classic Cayuse funk on the opening nose with opens with the signature Rocks minerality and savory flavors and evolves over time to great fruit, herbal Cab Franc notes and plush Merlot texture on the palate. Yum. Let's see what happens tomorrow! — 13 years ago

My last 2011 bottle. The estate of Sette Ponti lies in the heart of the Chianti zone, 15 miles northwest of the city of Arezzo, past the village of San Giustino Valdarno. Crognolo, aged in French Allier barriques, deep red with red fruit aromas and sweet perfumed spice. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors, gentle spice and soft tannins with great mouthfeel. Good balance, lingering finish ending with some oak and mineral tones. Aged well. — 8 years ago

My current jam. Green pepper, funk, savory, juicy. Transforms to slightly sweet and fruity only when paired with jalapeño hot sauce. — 10 years ago

Who am I to criticize a bottle of Mouton Rothschild? Amazing, no doubt. But didn't feel balanced. Great funk on the nose. High acidity and overall mild. — 10 years ago

Nose had some funk with leather, mineral and a hint of red liquorice. Evolved nicely with fruit coming out after an hour or so. Blackberry, blueberry were present after the earthy start. — 9 years ago

A little hot on the nose and palate but still freaking delicious. Nose carries through with red fruit compote, licorice whips, leather, balsam, lavender, roasted herbs, moss, funk, and meat. Palate plays more on compote, licorice, and balsam with kicks of spice and leather. There's that savoriness coming through on the palate as well. Despite some alc. poking out this is really beginning to show well. Expecting more organic earth, black tea, and umami notes in the future but still a brilliant perfume right now. Tannin still has a little edge that keeps the wine balanced. Humbled to try wines like this when I can. 375 ml — 10 years ago
