With time this has turned out to be a fabulous wine. Soft tannins, layers and layers of fruit — 10 years ago

2001 vintage lovely dense plumbs, currants, violets and spice on the nose. Rich and warm, headily inviting, with the perfume jumping out of the glass capturing and demanding attention. Tightly packed mouthful as well, surprisingly medium bodied, good fruit and tannin, but closed and needing time. Good aftertaste, probably needs 3 to 5 years before opening up to its best. — 11 years ago

First off. You have heard about decanting.... This is a great example. Open and it tastes flat, give it time to breath and the flavors come out. The nose has a nice oak, smokey texture. Taste has a predominant black cherry flavor with nice ripe fruit flavors. Oak remains throughout the taste from start to finish with american oak flavors. An almost cigar smokiness hits immediately with a slight spice....not sure where to compare this to because it's not like a Zinfandel pepper, but more like an allspice. The overall feel is medium bodied with rich cherry flavors and well balanced for a smooth feel. This is a great introduction to Stags Leap without spending $150. — 12 years ago

Cedric Bouchard Roses Jeanne Le Boloree 2011 - from Jay. Very pale washed out straw - good stream of small very consistently sized bubbles. Nose is initially very closed but as it opens it gives way to white bread tones, ‎crushed rocks, broken clam shell and a hint of iodine. Good attack followed by a concise mid palette which expresses fresh green cooking apples and white peach. The wine is very focused - extremely linear. Quite tightly wound with good pronounced acidity but this should integrate in time. There is a femininity to the wine which makes it endearing. Best served quite cold. Paired with lobster salad which was a wonderful combination. 93+/100. Drink now onwards.

We went 2/2 tonight. This bottle was a testament to perfect storage. Cork was perfect, and the wine was dark ruby with ever so slight bricking at the rim. Awesome. More approachable than the 90 and makes you wanna curl up with it for a long time. Better than the bottle I had at the Montrose vertical a month ago. Blind I would guess 10 yrs newer. For this price point and quality it's a must add. Edged out the Margaux. — 12 years ago

My mom said she found out about this app on the today show. Thanks mom, why can't you remember that time I won a karate competition by decapitation? — 11 years ago

Candied red apple. Needs some time to mellow out. Dark and fruity for a Pinot. Interesting but a departure from varietal expectation. — 11 years ago

Coaxing it out of the glass. Needs time to blow off typical barnyard nose, leads way to dark red fruit and really long finish — 11 years ago
