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. — 7 years ago

20 year old Pinot Noir. As it can be. As it should be. — 12 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!!! — 7 years ago

Syltigt, småsträvt och kryddigt, med spännande toner av blodgrape och björnbär. Grovt tillyxat renässansvin, nästan burleskt. Gott! — 11 years ago
HBD pops! Love old wines - 61 and still some fruit! — 11 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. — 7 years ago
Big deep extracted dark old sweet. A beautiful wine in an old world style. — 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. — 9 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 — 11 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. — 6 years ago
