The wife is making fish so I oblige with this pull. Amber gold, a bit darker than past bottles of this which I’ve had several times. Viscous and heavy in the glass. A nice nose, it doesn’t appear to come across as old on the first smells. Notes of apricot, white stone, some spice and a little citrus. Great acidity and texture in the mouth. With a few hours of air it even gets a bit chewy and more powerful in its impact. Great showing for the color. — 5 years ago

Poured a medium yellow-gold color (looked like a 4-5 year old Chardonnay), initially lots of SO2 that blew off in 5-10 minutes, amazing depth, minerality, cut, more than sufficient acidity to carry this 10+ more years, really pretty much a perfect bottle of Les Clos!!! — 8 years ago

Tasted blind. Old wine color. Reddish light brown, thin and translucent. Notes of cherries, cola, earth, a little wood and some rhubarb. With more air this gained complexity and added salt and rose petals to its bouquet. At the end of the evening it had a nice richness too. But compared to a 66 DRC GE we had in the past year, there was consensus this must have had some issues with storage or handling at some point. Was really good but not the "Wow" we expected. — 8 years ago

The reason my mom and I started getting into wine. Sweet, but not too sweet. And within my budget when you can through at least one bottle for the night. — 10 years ago

Clos des Lambrays 1947 with original label. One of the most emotional red wine I had... Wonderful vintage. This wine combines all qualities of young and old wines — 11 years ago

2011 disgorgement . Very saline, tidal pool nose. Tight and strong, mini gravel, old piny wood. Big, expansive, long. Dominating finish. Really good. Very much like champagne no matter what they say. — 11 years ago

Tasted blind. Amber tawny color. Notes of dried cherries, cola, a moist field and some brown sugar. Thin in appearance and in taste. Very refined. Some are guessing old Cote-Rotie but I stick with a mid-60's Morey St.-Denis guess. — 6 years ago

This bone-dry Michigan Riesling is a mineral-driven wine. Light golden in color, it has a nose of citrus peel and a wet driveway. The aromas aren't terribly complex, but as Spencer Tracy said, “What’s there is cherce.” On the palate there are flavors of lemon and lime with a chalky minerality. Acidity is almost racy, certainly zippy enough to handle a sandwich or salad. The finish is lengthy and reminiscent of an older vintage Riesling, quite nice. — 7 years ago

Ripe raspberry and cherry up front. Very bright ruby color. Balanced structure. Overall, a very tasty Pinot that lines up well against other fruit forward / acid driven Pinots. — 10 years ago

1976, drinking just fine, great even, for a wine 1 year my senior at 38. Broad and lush, old but fresh. Beautiful! #lafetenyc — 12 years ago

Old vine Cinsault with a splash of Pais. This was unexpectedly awesome. Roses and bright,, dusty raspberries really jump out of the glass along with some sawdust and cherry taffy. Low tannin, med acid, and racy in the mouth. Tart, pure fruit and a rusticity that’s appealing. Cool wine. — 6 years ago

The nose is different. Much more woodsy and less fruit than I’d have imagined. The flavour profile was blackberry based and again, some wood. Some eucalyptus and green grass. Also some wet soil and cloves. The tannins weren’t a punch in the face by any means, but also haven’t haven’t completely softened as you might expect in a ten year-old. The palate was uninspiring as there was a watery-ness in the mid palate. I’m not sure whether this is over the hill or just not quite there yet and in a dumb phase? Will wait and see for the final two bottles. Solid, I guess. Not yet amazing. — 7 years ago

Tawny red color. Not the nose you would expect for a Pinot. More old Italian like. Notes of tea, maraschino cherries, roses, dry earth and some wood. Nice in the mouth and grabs your attention. Lighter fruit matched against still vibrant acidity. Puckering structure. I’d like to say this needs more time but the fruit has evolved to a point where I don’t know if this will be all that better in 5 yrs. Have had better experiences with this one. Still, the quality of the wine is evident, especially with more air (5+ hrs) over the evening. — 8 years ago

Fantastic! Dark fruits, plum, fig, watermelon rind, leather, tobacco, river rock, old wood.... Lingers on the tongue far longer than you'd expect. Full bodied, great viscosity! A definite drink or cellar. Love it — 10 years ago

Coffee, chocolate/mocha and a whole bunch of red fruit still very present on this almost twenty year old wine. Tannins still definitely there with red fruits starting to mix with secondary flavours on the palate. Frightfully as a new world dominated wine drinker this wine still bucket loads of potential. — 11 years ago
