Quintessential LLC Napa. 14.5% abv. Dark chocolate. Dark berries. Tabecco. Licorice. High acidity. Medium tannin. Probably great with steak but I had it with rotisserie chicken and Italian sub. — 5 years ago

Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, pomegranate and sweet tobacco.  Multi-layered flavors of red, blue and black berry fruit, plums, cherries and a hint of blood orange underpin subtle layers of exotic spice and toast.  Fine tannins and balanced acidity drive a long finish. Very Good. — 6 years ago

Didn't bring a red as we weren't planning on drink more than a btl, and that Leroy Monty did the trick, but our palates got hungry for some red, so looked at the half btl list(needed to drive back to SF) and chose this, great vintage and a solid producer. This is in a beautiful place right now, plenty of room for improvement, but complemented dinner just right. — 7 years ago

Sure did make an impression. Big, rich, textural, stunning acid drive. Pears, apples, limes, and layers of molten honey! Likely some bot even - hints of it on the palate. Utterly delicious.

Add notes: Domaine des Roches Neuves. Biodynamic focus. L'Insolite - 80+ year old Chenin vines, clayey-limestone, sandstone and flint subsoil. — 7 years ago

Thanks again @Web Bond for the great visit at Pol Roger! This is one of the broadest, most powerful 2004's that I have had the pleasure of tasting. The transparency and drive of the vintage is still in the wine and this Winston should last a long time! — 9 years ago

Just brilliant. All round smooth and easy. A little pepper but mostly rounded black current and plum with a hint of oaky dryness. — 9 years ago

My first introduction to Shiraz. It was really good. Flavors of black berries, coffee, leather and chocolate. Smooth tannins after 30 minutes of decanting. — 6 years ago

Very powerful and intense. At 17 years amazing density and freshness. Honeysuckle, lemon, minerality and real drive and zip but still balanced and rounded. Delicious. — 7 years ago

What an awesome gem from North Fork. Will keep an eye out on petit Verdot more often. Had with duck marinades with balsamic red wine (Beasley blend from Coffee Pot Cellar, another cool winery from North Fork). — 6 years ago

A bit of CO2 at first but the bubbles go away after a while. On the nose : a bit of honey, peach, hay. Interesting and profound. The palate is wide and full of fruits, the acid backbone is a bit overwhelmed except at the end where the acid backbone comes back to drive the palate to a moderately long finish with peach. Cool wine ! — 6 years ago

Very fresh, bright and young. Frankly, suffers in comparison with the 96, but super good fruit. Lime, chalk, slate, dazzling minerality and an intense palate with huge drive. A real baby. I suspect this won’t have the quality of the 96 but a zesty, wine with loads of potential. — 6 years ago

Pre-move-mania treat with J, A&A. Evolved, a little sherried, butterscotch. It woke up-- and freshened up-- but not quite as memorable as the delicious Jungle Bird chaser. At least I'm finally posting this... From a photo lurking in Google Drive..., — 7 years ago

Lots of nutty character. Almonds and creamy hazelnuts come to mind. Bruised and oxidized red and yellow apples dominate the fruit. Dusty chalky minerality drive the wine. Great bubbles! — 9 years ago
