Incredible. Lavender and stone. Haunting. As if Pinot Noir was made in Cote-Rotie. — 12 years ago

Carried this back 8 years ago when i visited Bodega the first time. This wine is traditional classic old school Rioja- earthy and fully developed primary nose, soft acid n tannin, haunting finish... 🍷💃 — 12 years ago

Deep layers of aroma. Haunting nose. Juicy strawberries and the dosage is neatly incorporated, not even a hint of residge. A little peach and figs. Such a deep finish. Gorgeous in the backyard with some truffled cheese in some Pyrex like Jeezy. Beautiful mouthfeel. So warm and inviting. — 11 years ago

Hard to ask for more from a 44 year old Rioja. Plenty of haunting, lacy fruit over a mouthfeel akin to white wine with leather and spice nuances without end. — 12 years ago

Italy can do Summer of Riesling too. Acacia aged, super delicious and just a whisper of RS. — 13 years ago

Honey, stone fruits and citrus draped over a firm structure that gives just a whisper of sweetness. — 11 years ago

Just a whisper of sweetness but otherwise dry. Ripping acidity and light on the palate. Peaches candied limes and beautiful. — 12 years ago

In perfect drinking condition, excellent. Forest floor, iron, the smell of a cracked cacao bar, savory spice and believe it or not a tad of blue cheese. Good palate intensity that is precise and controlled, medium to fine tannins caress the haunting dried fruit and savory long and fresh finish. #bluesheeseinmywinearoma #stestephe #lafonrochet — 13 years ago
