I'm surprised this scores so low with other Delectablers. I find it spot on crisp, clean, mineral driven Chardonnay and quite interesting and weighty for the money. — 9 years ago

Spot on amazing this year so layered so structured many of you have a lot to learn. This wine means a hundred percent mistake its taken way after most cote de Rhone with super high Brix. But it pans out perfectly he's got the right amount of structure light oak and distant layering!!! — 10 years ago

Asked for a buttery wine and this is what Ryan at Taka suggested. He was spot on and I love this wine. — 10 years ago

2005 vintage. Ripe and caressing yet showing positive restraint with still present and youthfully unresolved tannins. Ripe and nearly mature dark berries add baldness and balance on the smokey, mineral-driven and concentrating finish. In a great spot right now. — 10 years ago

Not a great vintage, but this shows classic aged claret character. Spot on with braised short ribs. Drink up if you've got 'em. Surprised to find zero sediment in the bottle. — 10 years ago

My father-in-law bought a case of this on release and we have had one each year since. In the past this has always been very tight and structured. This year the tannins have nearly fully resolved and the wine is very fruit forward. I'm not sure that it's for the better, but this is still very enjoyable with a steak. I think in three or four years this may be in its sweet spot. — 11 years ago

Perfect match tonight with the beef we all ordered. Eduardo at DBGB took perfect care of us. This was his choice and it was spot-on. — 11 years ago

Cheers from Bergen, Norway! An absolute picturesque spot for our vacation. Tonight, we visited Altona, a 400-yr old spot that has received 9 straight Wine Spectator awards for their phenomenal wine list.
I was shocked to see such a prestigious US wine on this wine list, and had to order a glass from this textbook vintage. Red currants on the nose and cigar box. Deep purple and long legs. On the palate, beautifully structured plum and cassis. This wine is GORGEOUS right now and has at least 10+ years before really peaking. — 9 years ago

Cooking ratatouille while waiting on Indian food delivery, this hits the spot. Still very much alive and vibrant. Great acidity, honeyed pear and silky texture. Boom! — 9 years ago

Dark fruit balanced through old oak showing light spice on the nose encouraging thought to nail a specific note but is remaining a bit of an enigma in my rock rattled head after a good day enhanced by 75 MPH Harley induced wind and the brilliance of Bose and an iPhone. Ok, back to the wine, it touches, lightly grabs spreading its dark berry mini-burst in a layered earth touched tannin slow ride making magic with some of Chapel Hill's Bin 54's straight up amazing goodness (in this case very rare filet mignon, garlic tinged green beans and almond slivers; my go to steak spot in NC). Damn, this is all so right-on! Cheers! — 10 years ago

Killer bottle to have at the best tapas spot in Portland on your birthday. Dried red/dark fruits, rich, extended barreling aromatics and texture. Perfect with every course. — 11 years ago
