2017 is lean, laser-focused and crunchy as a basket of fresh cranberries. Monster acidity and very taught mineral backbone. Brighter and fresher than the 2016 with comparatively subtle florality. This is an excellent match with a broad range of Pacific Rim foods. — 6 years ago

Rich and opulent are right , so much for hot vintage ; plenty of garrigue and fading acidity but perfect match for grilled lamb and wild rice pilaf — 6 years ago

A great Rioja! Hey beautiful balance of body acidity tannins. Bright cherry notes with leather undertones. Match very well with a grilled steak. — 7 years ago

Had this at Glen & Josh's wedding. Absolutely stunning. Struck match on the nose, not overly oaky and woody, light and delicious. (I only know the struck match note because I was told about it, but it sounds good :P) — 8 years ago

Love it when a plan comes together - cooking chicken fajitas and pesto macaroni for twelve and the loverliest Chard to hop along for the festivities on a hot summer eve. The balance in acidity and fruit is immaculate! Best match of the summer so far. — 8 years ago

Very nice right bank style. Big fruit in the nose and tannins to match but surprising amount of acid and balance. Drink now or hold a few more years. — 9 years ago

Another lovely btl. On the nose: noble struck match reduction, lemon, banana, a touch of vanilla. On the palate, fantastic acidity, lemon peel, loads of wet stone minerality, excellent density, and an electric finish. This is drinking so well now. — 5 years ago

Lapierre to the rescue after a run of forgettable wines! Reduced at the outset, reveals special substance underneath. Lilac, macerated cherry, strawberry, herbs. Electric, super vivid and intense as expected. Just plain tasty. Glorious match w roast chicken — 6 years ago

Does VERY well a decant, takes the brett( which actually like) out & smoothes the edges a bit. Dark dark black fruits, that volcanic minerality all through. Mild to mod tannins. Can match any food, just about- this time chicken w saffron, apricots; roasted brussel sprouts, & corn pudding w roasted garlic & sage — 7 years ago
