Interesting Tempranillo, and nice to discover this winery. At Family Winemakers of California Tasting in Del Mar. — 5 years ago
What an amazing wine...still very young, initial smell is earth, spice, cut mushrooms, stony and red tart/ripe cherries...coats palate from beginning to end. Acid just holds it taut and nervy all the way thru. Opened up even more as the nite went on..paired with charcuterie...on point and delivered as legend says.. — 5 years ago

Funny story about this wine. Was submerged in water for a few days, but the water temp was 54F. Wax capsule was pink, not red. Popped and the cork shattered. But after a decant. Here came the legend. Awesome fruit, dried herbs, balanced acidity. Last one I had...for now. Stay thirsty my friends. 🍷 — 4 years ago

From the MI Bday tasting, #2 of 5. Very good. — 4 years ago
Astonishing fruit concentration with a crystalline freshness that is impressingly managing to interwove the pronounced savory complexity. Mesmerizing presence on the palate that is pulsing through the long finish. Yet it’s only a baby and God knows what this will be as an adult. The legend sure is true, Gonon: St Joseph elevated to infinity. — 5 years ago

1979 Clos Du Mesnil. What do you do when you are confronted with a legendary wine? You hope it doesn’t disappoint. At Pages in Paris today, Tomo delighted us with this outstanding bottle. Medium golden hue. The nose was to die for: fresh, white flower, chalk and honeyed - alluring and forever changing in the glass while keeping its freshness. Hints of truffle wafted away within minutes. What seemed like an impossible dream of the ultimate Champagne remained intact. Fine but persistent bubbles, huge but balanced concentration with a refreshing, zesty acidity and a finish I can still taste an hour and a half after having drained the last few precious drops of this legend. Wow, wow, wow. Incredible. 100 points. Don’t be afraid to open now or in 20 years. — 6 years ago
Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte was created in 1976 as an exclusive Reserve Champagne that today remains the guardian of their quality and style. A blend of 20% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 40% Pinot Meunier. Pale yellow with plenty of tiny bubbles and aromas of stone fruits. On the palate peach, apple and pear with generous mineral tones. Lingering finish ending with citrus and chalky notes. — 7 years ago
Wow! I had very little expectation from this wine but... I was totally wrong: perfectly balanced with well controlled acidity and the right amount of fruit flavor.
Tasted in combination with roasted calamari and spicy cream mad of basil, pimenta de Neyde pepper and yogurt. — 8 years ago
