Tasted blind. Reddish tawny, translucent and old looking. Awesome nose. Notes of leather saddle, pencil lead, currants, cherry, soil, and some toasted hickory. All guessed 61 Bordeaux. This got better through the night and was at its best in the last glass. — 7 years ago

2004...why can't the vintage be detected? It's clear. Anyway, the wine is at its peak right now. Some typical heavy oak notes on the back palate, but wine is solid. — 10 years ago

Delicious. 20 months in Oak. Cab franc still dominant grape at 45% so a slightly different rendition than the old world. Oak, tobacco, dark fruit. Yummy — 7 years ago

This wine was a great surprise, great value for the $13.99 price! A little tropical and earthiness on the nose, but on the palate it really came alive - crisp with a bit of effervescence, good acid and retaining the fruit flavor. Great with Indian food or any spicy food or shellfish. — 10 years ago
Intense, teeth-staining, black fruit and tannins that will rip your face off. Blinded as a New World Cab/Shiraz blend. — 10 years ago
Mouton Vertical Dinner. This was paired with the 61 and this was the groups 2nd favorite only surpassed by the perfect 45. This was what I was looking for dark ruby color huge nose of sweet red fruits, cassis, chocolate, mint, vanilla, pencil shavings so rich and ripe on the mouth, dense in weight and structure. Great length showing what a great Mouton is all about. — 10 years ago

Lot of maracuya and litchi aromas and very crisp acidity. Perfectly fresh for the season. Nicely paired with grouper fish over ratatouille. — 12 years ago
Note to @Delectable Wine the winery is pronounced “Aranthia” but spelled “Arancia”. A Spanish ringer for Chablis (some people sense Chenin leanings) and a good one at that. Tropical flowers and citrus on the nose, but the palate is energized with lemon, mineral, bright acid, and some stone fruit bitterness. Very light on its feet, but finishes somewhat longer. Crazy good for a BTG selection. — 8 years ago

In full disclosure I have enjoyed few orange wines (think white wines of white of grey grapes that have macerated on their skins like a red wine would in terms of length of skin contact). This however is from squeaky clean Riesling that has spent a month or so on its skins until November and even so is pure and clear, citric and textural, with chirpy tannins, marmalade and apricot pastry. Even the next day it resonated round the whole palate and if anything rocked its back into its orange structure. Delicious and one of a kind. — 10 years ago
I really enjoyed this wine. A little stronger than most but did not stay in your mouth with a sharp aftertaste. I would recommend this wine three of us had it today at the table and we all liked it very much. — 10 years ago
