Damp earth. Cherries. Mineral. High acid and tight tannin. I’d like to drink this on a Monthelie basis. Wants coq au vin, mushrooms, or grilled salmon. — 5 years ago

Dark garnet / too young to develop earthy nose / quite muscular / good accompaniment to coq au vin that we had tonight — 6 years ago

Haut-Bailly Dinner in SF with Veronique Sanders of Haut-Bailly.

The 2012 is living up to its reviews. It’s good & well priced. The dark fruits are ripe, juicy, cola notes, menthol, dark, moist, turned earth. Drinking nicely now but, still a hold for another 5 years plus.

Served with Coq au Vin. Baby Carrots, Mushrooms, Pearl Onions & Red Wine Sauce. Mathilde French Bistro

1999 Vina El Pison Rioja. Drank after the ‘85 Lopez de Heredia for A&S’ Anniversary lunch at Coq SF. Didn’t decant very long, but delicious. Much more fruit, tannin, and structure than the Heredia, since much younger. Delicious, but different. — 5 years ago

Invited this Somm 3 movie star to dinner and it definitely didn’t disappoint. It is Burgundy in California, and like Tom Hardy in Hollywood, it has plenty of talent. Cherries and raspberries with violet and a subtle earth, finely balanced in the mouth. Trying not to finish it before the coq au vin is done, ask @Lyn Farmer for a solid coq au vin story. — 6 years ago

Great value for a wine with great character. Exuberant nose. Earthy, manure, strawberry, blueberry. Helped our coq au vin hit a new level. — 9 years ago

Pleasing but tight red fruit on the nose, cherry and cranberry most notably, told me that this should be a wine that I should be drinking some time in the next 5 years. But my sister's birthday was reason enough to crack this open and pair with coq au vin. — 9 years ago

Gattinara is a new region for me. It’s in Northern Piedmont, with smaller output than nearby Langhe, but produces Nebbiolo with a similar “nervy” acidity. This bottle is great, with earthy red fruit and brick red color. Still young, but tasty. Had it with coq au vin 🇫🇷✖️🇮🇹 — 5 years ago

Wow. 1985. Amazingly soft and elegant. With Coq au Vin and fire in Vermont. Can we ask for much more. All the best for 2020 everyone! — 5 years ago

We had this New Year’s Eve with Eriks excellent Coq au vin. This was a very nice balanced wine that didn’t over power the meal. Balanced with good spice, tannin and berry. Full body — 6 years ago
