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!!! — 9 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

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. — 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

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
