Made in the central part of Saint-Joseph, on the steepest hill (above the village of Mauves) with granite soil (just like Hermitage) from 90+ year old vines. The name of the vineyard is called simply 'Saint Joseph'. This is the original part of the appellation. In other words 'Le Berceau' (the cradle). Powerful wine, dark fruit, smoked meats. On the bold side of the spectrum, but damn great. — 10 years ago

Robbing the cradle here, but this has some beautiful balanced depth. Nicely perfumed nose. Can't wait to see what it becomes! — 11 years ago

This was the Beckstoffer To-Kalon 2010, an uber juicy; chewy cherry skin, nicely wound, fruit rich wine that we robbed from the cradle.
Drink in 2015... if you can wait - 91 points.

Robbed the cradle, initially dismissed it as a generic natural wine, day two opened up to reveal some generosity and a hint of fruit. But this wine is really all about the minerals. Like drinking black stones. — 13 years ago

100% cab - I know it is young and I feel like I am robbing the cradle - but heard some good things so decided to break protocol - after one hour of decanting it is still young - cannot wait to try again in five years - three words to describe - big bold and beautiful - but why stop there - the detail notes are great expressive aromatics smell and taste - dark red color from dark red fruits - great palette, legs, depth and structure - tannins are refined - this will only get better as it rest more - enjoy - and all Smiling here

Terrific Barolo, definitely decant but not robbing the cradle too too bad. Tar and roses, baby. — 10 years ago

5 year anniversary at Quince, Flora's birth year (robbing the cradle!). Quite a bit of fruit still, tobacco nose. Little thin in mid palette but finishes strong and long. What a treat! — 11 years ago

A friend took one for the team by pulling the cork way too soon on this one. Extremely tight and closed down, suggest you let these sleep for a few years. Rating this on potential. Great structure. Typical En Cerise terroir, this will be great a few years from now. @Dag Zapatero likes them young, but this was robbing the cradle. — 10 years ago

Funky, medium bodied and carrying the right amount of acidity to cradle the dark black fruits and black peppered cured meat tones. — 11 years ago

Best execution from Cali of a top burgundy. All seafood menu and it was perfect. If you rob the cradle, decant early ... Last taste will be the best. Keep for your 2020 fete. — 11 years ago
