I've had a perfect wine a handful of times. 2000 SQN Suey. 62 latour. 97 Gaja from 3L. 97 Shafer Hillside Select. This is at that level. Balance. Creamy. Expressive nose of sweet flowers, stone fruits and juicy raspberry blueberry vanilla, flint and the feeling you can only get from the hug of your mother. A wine at its peak. Embarrassed to enjoy this alone. But I will. — 8 years ago
This is a warm buttery hug when I arrive home from work. When I'm craving a Chardonnay, I'm going to reach for this Sancerre. Smooth finish that doesn't hang out on palette too long. Easy & enjoyable — 8 years ago
This over delivered for sure. I didn't have hug expectations for a 9 year old Sonoma coast Pinot (even if it is morlet) but hot damn this was great. Fruit was still very much alive, framed by some sweet toasty oak (but not overpowering) it is an elegant wine yet with some backbone. Pleasant notes of ripe cherry, forest floor, confectionary sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Highly recommended and still very much on the young side — 9 years ago
Mountain stream water out of an ice cold stone bong poured by forest fairies. A 1000 times, yes. And just the right amount of dirty. Someone give me a hug. — 9 years ago

Ordered at Cuidad in Georgetown, with friends Hug and Linda. Hints of black cherry and pepper. On a cold night, a comforting ending. — 8 years ago
Powerfully compacted earth, graphite and intense blackberry, black cherry and blueberry pie fruit. Palate is super sleek, has the lines of a jet black Ferrari. Sumptuous and perfectly balanced fruit, soft tannins, a warm, soft, suede classy hug of a wine. — 8 years ago
waitrose gbp 35 (but on sale for gbp 30 often). bought to try it out and turned out to be a winner. like a blanc de blanc, (I usually say blanc de blanc tastes like one night stands) but this one stays like a hug. I don't like moet, my favorite is billecart salmon but this is like the little sister. — 9 years ago
Pretty aromas of all things forest-like, wrapped in a big red fruit hug. — 9 years ago
