Caught me off guard !! Wow — 10 years ago
Intense scents of red cherries and earth. Caught off guard by the very solid level of acidity which gives a nice boost to the plums, berries, spice and mineral flavors. Tannins are restraining the wine from showing its best but I expect them to resolve in 3-5 years . First time with this producer and I would like to try their other wines. — 11 years ago
This wine caught me off guard; it's the best showing I've seen yet from Municipal. Cool climate pepper notes, and perfectly balanced. We started the bottle two nights ago, and just saw a glass remaining this evening. It held up beautifully, and opened to more earthy aromas. Very well done, Dave Potter. — 11 years ago

Verily I say, my head nearly exploded when I tasted this! Inky deep, meaty, peppery, stiff backbone like a Buckingham Palace guard, and big in all the ways that light up my palate like a First Encounter of the wine kind. Mondeuse is rarer in the US than a UFO ... and uncommon outside of the French region of Savoie. $42 at the winery. Gotta rig up a tractor beam and get me some! — 10 years ago

This little baby. Elegant and sophisticated - typical Cos. Long life ahead of it! Love the layers of flavour and nose very similar to the 86? Silky, succulent wine. This wine caught me off guard for a 2006. Well done! 94+ points. — 11 years ago

Delicious new guard Gigondas. Great value. — 13 years ago
Wow! Wanted to get to know Beaujolais, so found this on menu at Rye in Louisville. Knew they were generally best young, so was on guard, but what a nice wine! Sweet flowers and very slight spiciness on the nose. Not "sweet" on the tongue, just nice juicy red berries/cherries come to mind. So easy to enjoy and paired well with the both the cheese board and beef. Tannins were subdued, finish was clean...should have got a bottle! Nice choice for the wine list, Rye! — 10 years ago
