Bright red fruit with well balanced acid and medium minus silky tannins. This is what burgundies should taste like. — 7 years ago

Imagine aged plums and white cherries blowing a hole through the back of your skull like a 12 gauge. That only partially captures the experience of this amarone on the nose. Medium minus acidity and gentle tannins make this quaffable, yet still deserving of a considered reflection. High quality producer, corked. — 8 years ago

Tangerine and mandarin oranges with some light minerality and some nice soft, creamy edges. Medium-minus complexity, but what's there has great texture and acidity. — 8 years ago

2010 vintage. Medium golden hue. On the nose, deep concentration of aromas. Waxy, canned apricots, white pepper, white flower, cream and hazelnut. On the palate, medium minus acidity, medium plus alcohol, full body and concentration. Longish finish. Very good. Would probably wait another 2+ years to reach another level. Drink now until 2022+. NB: serve chilled, as becomes fat as gets to room temperature. — 7 years ago

Delicious wine. Benefits greatly from decanting. Firm pleasurable tannins. This wine is a keeper and in 3-4 years will be amazing. Rating the wine where it is now. Will buy more bottles to lay down.👍🏼 — 8 years ago

Wow, real knockout stuff. This is not domestic Muscadet - there's not much in common besides the grape. It has the bright, pure fruit but it is put together in a much fuller style, more like a white Burgundy (minus the oak) than Muscadet. I don't say Chablis because while it's an intensely mineral wine and cranked up to 11 in that department, it's not a marine minerality. The mineral element here is volcanic (and so is the soil), bringing to mind all those cliches about aromas bursting from the glass and so forth, and it's every bit as driving on the palate. — 9 years ago

85% Carménère and four other varieties. Some of it ages in first-use French oak. This results in great body and flavors. Lots of red fruit (mainly cherries), spices, licorice, toffee, vanilla and toast. A great wine! Um blend com 85% Carménère e 4 outras uvas nos 15% restantes. Parte do vinho amadurece em carvalho francês de primeiro uso. Resultado disso tudo? Muita fruta vermelha (predomínio de cerejas maduras), especiarias, alcaçuz, tosta, caramelo e baunilha. Uma delícia! — 8 years ago

2007 vintage. Clos de Rougeard, Le Bourg. At Hotel Les Crayeres in Reims. Medium ruby hue. The nose is outstanding - huge complexity of mixed berries with a fresh raspberry dominance, spices, licorice, herbs, white pepper, saddle leather, herbal tea. With air, some smokey gun flint. Amazing. On the palate, a little tight - medium minus body, medium plus acidity, medium alcohol and very long finish. Good concentration - savoury and spicy. Wonderful. Drink now until 2036+. — 8 years ago

Very solid! Almost soft grapey cab minus the tannins. No complex spicy second note, but great finish. Had this at a restaurant, not sure on the bottle price, but big fan. — 8 years ago
