My second french bottle of the weekend in support of Charlie. Each glass just gets better with this elegant Pinot. A very full and well rounded Pinot out of the Kardasian mold. Different fruits layered tightly together where none jump out but rather blend harmoniously with a bit of spice box Jerry lighting the fuse. That is how I can best describe this offering, an elegant harmony. Vive Charlie! — 9 years ago
Intoxicating aromatics of black licorice, blackberry, and dark plums lead into a well integrated palate showing off French oak influence. Allspice, cloves, ginger fuse perfectly with solid acidity and a velvety finish. — 8 years ago
Boozy cherry languedoc, good acidity. Well done wine of momentary destination — 10 years ago
Cantaloupe rind, grape-y feet, lemon seed, darjeeling tea with lemon zest, sugar sculpture, wheat biscuit nose over cork oak. Hazelnut, oak, brimming with acanthus and a tight spiral of cinnamon oil and cherry cough drop. Loosens to reveal fig, orange bitters, peppercorn, brushy evergreen shrubs, campfire wood smoldering hot to smoky resins, juniper, smoke-point olive oil, and singed paper. Remember this having a sweetness at bottle's dawn, but alas, dear chaps, we have reached the end, and she is smoldering like a pyrotechnic fuse. August and stolid, amplified, and robust for a highland lady! Give her a dance, but it is she who shall do the spinning! — 8 years ago

Vanilla panacotta, molten chocolate, coconut and brownie nose. Big depth of flavor, with the pepper bringing heat from the get-go! Rich, mocha espresso and vanilla throughout, and just enough fire to light the fuse! — 8 years ago
