2006 vintage - from an Australian perspective, hard to come to grips with the concept of aged SB, but here it is. This is good, actually really good - very Loire IMO — 10 years ago
Nutty and warm bread notes on first wiff, baked apple and pear follow nicely. Rich round mouthfeel gives a touch of lively medium acidity and ties the mirroring nose and palate together with a warm vanilla finish that lingers seductively like perfume in a room moments after a lady departs. ( probably my cheesiest description yet! 😜) — 10 years ago
An elegant, feminine style, lovely smoky pencil lead and cassis jam, touches of tobacco leaf and root beer. Elegant and mineral, med+ weight, plenty of smoky dark fruit and lead, reasonable acidity and very supple, refined tannin. Easygoing on the finish, a classy lady for the medium term. — 10 years ago
My palate was perfectly primed for this experience...finally! The lady of Gramenon has slapped me in the face with her mineral wand many a time and I have loved it, but this was what I was always looking for. Had all the good characteristics of a very well aged soft warm voluptuous Chateauneuf with a SICK mineral streak for support and depth. That mineral streak has always fucked me up in the past, overpowering my mouth and blocking me from orgasm with this wine. This time we both win. — 10 years ago
Light, earthy.. Best greek wine I've tasted — 10 years ago
100% Syrah - Red Willow Vineyard - juicy tannins, lots of dark fruit, coats the mouth, peppery on the back with a contemplative finish. Will buy again. — 10 years ago
Unforgettable taste. Like a young naughty young lady. It offers a refreshing black berry and green citrus? Notes. It's as distinctive as if its just picked and washed. U tasted the freshness and the earthy sun. It's spontaneous energy as if it fits rightly in the hand of a young lady spending the afternoon by herself either reading the book or just hanging around in the library in a breezy summer afternoon. — 12 years ago

Not ever sure why the 61 vintage sells at or even above Petrus price as I've never had it but rest of the old vintages are just lovely and relatively a bargain! This bottle had all the nuances and elegance of a fine lady at ease with oneself. Love it! — 9 years ago
