Royalty indeed. A bit too on the savory spectrum to take me to that magic place. Finish was a bit muted. — 2 years ago

Bright scarlet tawny. Mostly opaque. Candied fruit nose. Notes of strawberry, cherry kirsch, sandalwood and some. A bit masculine in its impact, which is different than not so long ago. Still has a silky texture in the mouth and all the pleasure zones. Seems young but is rather luscious right now. — 4 years ago

Underwhelming bottle from one of my fav producers. Makes me wonder if these wines age well? 2008 showed more like 1998 - color has faded, nose is evolved and the palate was eluding. — 4 years ago

Hitting all kinds of spots with plenty of life ahead....I love his wines because he is able to give a great glass now while making wines that can truly go the distance. Big fan. — 9 years ago

Third 90 Ponsot bottle served blind. This is bright tawny and translucent. When compared to the CSD served before it, this is more masculine with a dark cherry nose that is tight for the first 4-5 hours. By the time it’s served, though, it’s opened up and comes on as a rich and very powerful glass of juice. In addition to the regular notes of bing cherry, dark earth and rhubarb, this adds some mocha and a little cherry cola as well. Has a Rousseau-like precision in its delivery. From where it started to where it ended ~9 hours after opening, this evolved and improved the most. Great experience! (Bday 8 of 12) — 3 years ago

2006 a tricky vintage. Chalky, touch of rose pedals. Cherry notes, spice and herbs. Earthy. A fully mature wine. In my opinion beyond its prime. Drink up now! — 6 years ago

Nice, surprisingly so for an '04. Powerful. Silky. Deep red fruit. — 8 years ago

2005. Powerful and brooding dark fruit. Starting to give a bit on the palate, but still early days. I think it needs another five years to really start singing. Showing great potential. — 9 years ago

Tart cherries, hint of vanilla and spice on the nose. The acidity is superb. Ends in a medium+ finish.

9.1

Tawny color. Not giving much in the nose, even with several hours of air. Notes of rhubarb, dried red fruit, some wood and a little spice. Pleasant mouth feel. Not as opulent as other 01 Dujac wines. This was more tame and not giving what I was hoping for. Still has the fruit and bones to get better (I hope). — 4 years ago

Fresh and fruity. Great acid, almost woody green tannin. Leafy tabacco and raw fresh herbs. This seems lighter more modern and fresher than most Geverys. Feels new worldish. — 8 years ago

9.6

Worthy of its label. Complex, long, constantly changing. 5 more years would help. Decanted 1/2 hour, no sediment. 2006 vintage, opened July 2015. — 9 years ago
