Lots of red fruits (cherries, strawberries) on the nose and palate, some vanilla/leather and lingering spiciness. Very light bodied for a cab, a smooth juicy mouthfeel with some tannins. Molly's review "my instinct is to marry this bottle with s'mores at a WI fall fire pit." I usually don't go for cabs; this could change my mind! — 7 years ago
Robbing the cradle at 2000? Very good. — 8 years ago
Full bodied as all Molly's. No tannins no acid beautiful with appetizers... Saved it since 2012, unbelievable!!!! — 9 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. — 9 years ago
Bright fruits on the nose and to start with a nice light buttery finish, but a nice acidity. Molly's notes: green apple, lemon and creamy finish. Lovely alone on this warm spring day! — 7 years ago
Had at Sara's baby shower (twins) at Molly's in April 2017. Bought at Total Wine. — 8 years ago
Yes, this was cradle robbed, but so delicious. Gorgeous nose, with almost everything but fruit. Slate, rock, earth, blood, spice everything you want and need. On the palate tart cherry and gorgeous acidity keeps you coming back. — 8 years ago
Robbing the cradle on this one but couldn't help it. Unreal QPR on this one — 9 years ago

Terrific Barolo, definitely decant but not robbing the cradle too too bad. Tar and roses, baby. — 9 years ago
Dark black fruits and a hint of spice on the nose, silky smooth palate, medium body, light acid. More spicy than fruity but definite raspberry and blackberry in there. Molly's notes: black raspberry, black plum, earthy. A very drinkable pinot alone or with food. Yum! — 7 years ago

Cradle robbing once again — 9 years ago
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. — 9 years ago
