Needs a lot of air, but once it opens, it reveals a wine with so much grace. Tart red cherries, under ripe strawberries, green stems, and lots of acidity. — 6 years ago
The nose and color indicated it might have passed its peak , but after tasting, I was very impressed how well this held up! — 6 years ago

Definitely reduced. Some roundness (oak) too? Under the sulfury nose there's a bit of green apple. — 7 years ago
Frenchie wine bar. Spicy. Well balanced. Apparently dirtiest wine cellar in France. — 9 years ago

Nutty aroma and a pleasant funk (distant cow, as I’m wont to say). Lemony crisp yet full on the tongue with a echoing finish like an aged sherry. Toasted almond. Sean approved. — 6 years ago
Medium–light bodied, Pinot fruit, tea, cranberry, touch of leather, mineral & saline with good acid. Alan’s present from Rachel. — 6 years ago
Love this style and Chateauneuf du Pape in general. Animale nose (but no Brett!). Also Raspberries Blackberries Earth and Thyme. Sweet red berries on palate with grainy tannins and a touch of bitumen. First introduced to the Wines of Henri Bonneau a few years ago in CDP in a restaurant where I was lucky enough to have had a “Celestines “ which was a WOW Wine for me. Henri passed away last year but his Wines live on Current vintages made by his son. — 6 years ago

Lemons, honey and sage on the nose with a stunning pallet full of dense flavors of honey suckle and orange blossom with great acidity. Love this wine, and so does my chicken pot pie! — 9 years ago

Great fine here in Kennebunk, solid Cotes de Beaune. Floral with some Anise, Cedar, so smooth and refined. — 11 years ago
Very interesting matching with sole — 6 years ago
Fifth day open: roasted plums, cherries, jasmine, black tea, saddle leather. Nebbiolo-like and balsamic, yet it's immediately recognizable as Pinot. Another example of how '15 offers Cote-de-Beaune reds that are as good as they can possibly be. #chassagnemontrachet #pinotnoir — 7 years ago
The oak is a bit heavy at this juncture, but the lime and papaya tinged fruit shines through. Classy. — 7 years ago
