This is why I started loving wine 40 years ago....I doubt I'll ever make anything this ethereal...but I'll try. — 10 years ago

The 1991 vintage. Good Penfolds Choc Malt. Aromatic. Rich to medium palate. No doubt it is Penfolds but astringency at finish. "Rewards" says to 2040. Personally I would not want to wait that long. 18- — 11 years ago

Jammy new world Syrah. Saving grace is the tannins which give it reasonable structure. It has the tobacco, bacon fat, and smoke that I expect on high-end Syrah, but the fruit just overwhelms me. No doubt Parker raves about this wine. — 12 years ago

More and more finding myself in disagreement with "Bob" I think he is right on this one (RP 96-98).
I doubt it's going to improve for 30 years but it is certainly in a great spot now and the next 5 years.
GREAT WINE!!! — 11 years ago

With out any doubt one of the best garnacha wines around. Very nice body and deep color. — 11 years ago

Wine of the night for many, the facts: made from 80% Roussanne and 20% Grenache Blanc, from vines between 10-40 years old, and a small quantity of the “Vieilles Vignes” cuvee, produced entirely from Roussanne vines of at least 65 years of age. Deep gold in color, this is indeed in the mature stage. A complex and full nose showed layers of almonds, sea breeze, candied citrus and honeysuckle. The palate indeed confirmed the small bit of oxidized notes (sherry like saline) that went very well with the yellow fruits and flowers, full bodied with grace, minerality and good acid cut which no doubt is how it was able to age. — 12 years ago

Very vivid strawberry fruit with a touch of anise and mint. The beauty of this wine is in its' balance. It's so fresh and alive. I tasted this against some of the older vintages, and it is not doubt that this well stand the test of time. — 11 years ago

All note say it no where near ready - but double decanted recently this is very good - no doubt it will develop further — 12 years ago
