Whoa nelly. So glad to have found this in the back of the fridge. Oxidation folded in; an old cheese of a wine. And bright. Friend of Indian food! — 6 years ago

Nutty nose, bacon fat, caramel popcorn. Bone dry, very long finish. Good stuff. — 8 years ago
Disgorged 2001: Full frontal nose, baked apple and beyond. Ideal now, with abundance of mature attributes. Plenty to chew through. Seems rude to attempt a tasting note while wine is still in the glass. A wonder. — 9 years ago
Another interesting wine from Rosenthal. 2010 vintage...Slightly oxidized, with resin and medicinal / herbal notes, but crisp and delicious — 9 years ago
With bottles I wanted to taste the most left behind, I was ready for Exquise, from which I had no expectations as I heard controversial thoughts on this wine. Ripe white wild cherries, cookies, candied fruits (or was it pastilla?) and yellow plums. And a bit of nuts. Fresh, round, and well-balanced. The aftertaste is long and persistent. A bit of wet cellar and Jerez in the finish. The higher sugar level is obvious, but it doesn't disturb me. Very approachable and easy to understand. It's just a well-made one-dimensional wine you hardly remember the next day.

This was a journey. Started off thin and watery. Took 45 minutes and then became very aromatic in a tertiary way. The nose was gorgeous for a while and palate got opulent but remained lithe. Then it finished off thin and watery but there was a good window. The score is for when it was drinkable. It was for maybe 40 minutes. Very cool to taste. Given to my friend by Puffeney for his 40th birthday. — 9 months ago
Indeed early on in what will be a very long life, but oh so giving even at this stage. It is clear Fourrier, with absolute Grand Cru weight, density and intensity. Red and blue fruit, hints of winter citrus, a fine mineral infusion and fresh violets. There is exceptional delineation, finesse and seductive texture and the finish is supremely long with great precision and fine tannins. Surely many more fantastic years ahead but a joy to try at this stage and to find on the illustrious Per Se wine list. — 3 years ago

Smoke & earth on the nose. Ripe red & black fruit held in check by bright acidity. Grainy tannins — 9 years ago
