Love the sour zing in this Tassie Pinot almost like orange rind. Loads of black fruits and black cherries, fine tannins that fade just a little too quickly for my liking, probably because it's an '11. French oak nicely balanced and doesn't overpower. Could be mistaken for an Otago. — 11 years ago
Med body, med + acidity. Soft, medium tannins. med + finish. CEDAR. vanilla. Spice. lots of acidity--would have mistaken for Sangiovese. Drink now or age 5-10 years. — 12 years ago

On the other hand...singing at this point. Restrained yet present. Lovely light body with interesting tannic note was mistaken for neb by one guest. Paired great with 14 lb slow roasted fresh ham. — 12 years ago
Dark inky purple. Black currant, fresh earth, and baking spice on the nose. A rich & powerful style. Tannins are nice and integrated in the mouth, leading to a medium-long finish redolent of dark fruit and mocha. This seems big and overripe on the nose but could be mistaken for top-growth Pauillac in the mouth. Not my style yet I love this wine. Decanted. #Napa #Cabernet — 11 years ago
2007. Mistaken for a Tempranillo at opening. Juicy n chewy, bit spicy is typical for a new merlot, has structure. I do think right bank n margaux 07 r a bargain. Drink. — 11 years ago
All old vine Verzenay, about 2/3 Pinot Noir and 1/3 Chardonnay, all from massal selections. Unbelievable focus, cut, chalky power and length, with the signature hazelnut flavors that can be easily mistaken for wood. Patrick Arnould made a tiny us nitty of this, not to sell, but only to give away! — 11 years ago
