Our 2019 edition had Chremisa in large letters on the bottle and it was fabulous. It was different than any Gruner we’ve had. — 4 years ago
Last tasted was ‘11 as there were no ‘12 or ‘13, just tried ‘14 again. Deep Ruby, blend 70% Tempranillo, 20% Graciano & 10% Mazuelo, aged new French oak for 15 months (‘11 was 24 mos). Full red fruit aromas with floral, oak & pepper spice. On palate ripe red fruit flavors, complex with layers of fruit & spice, noting espresso, cacao & licorice. Tannins are still tight and will soften with time. Well balanced, long finish ending with fruit, spice and oak. Decant now, otherwise let sit in the cellar. Nice! — 4 years ago
I really like this. It’s a little complex and dry but super drinkable straight out of the bottle. A little on the sweeter side. Love it. — 5 years ago
Such purity. A notch below the ‘13 — 6 years ago
Délicieux! 13 Alsatian grape varieties blended to perfection. A pretty pleaser for the price. — 7 years ago
Quite nice Syrah with Swedish meatballs & cream sauce ($13) — 3 years ago
The body more like a Chardonnay with a slightly spicy finish — 4 years ago
First time having Bosconia. Wonderfully supple but still a babe at 13 years. Delicious red fruit, cocoa/milk chocolate, wild herbs and warm baking spices on the nose. Nicely integrated, medium body, excellent clarity and finish. Plenty of tannic structure and rich fruit, like all LdH this will go for ages. — 5 years ago
Not the best gruner veltliner, not as sparkling, or full bodied, but i nice dry acidic flavor — 7 years ago

What a great Left Bank Bordeaux from the great 2005 vintage this is.
This Fifth Growth is nicely balanced with lots of dark fruit notes. Delicious and yummy. Fabulous and better than I expected.
This 16 year old is Drinking very nicely now. Showing great complexity with a great mouth feel. Powerful and rich.
Thank you John for sharing.
Needs 90 minutes to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Loved smelling on it for a long time.
Great nose. Great palate. Tasty and gorgeous.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses, but good all by itself too.
A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit verdot.
13% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
