3L bottle drinking perfectly right now, and though '08 was not an easy year , this chateauneuf du pape cuvée réservée is clearly a winner. jams with old world silks. Thankful for my new coravin to taste this with my son, again and again. Drinking perfectly now. No need to wait — 9 years ago

Surprisingly lively acidity and medium body for California Chardonnay. Citrus fruit, white blossoms, and mineral tones dominate. Made in an Old World style with light oak treatment and no malolactic fermentation. — 10 years ago

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Vosges... It's a weird experience for me; it's like a hybrid of California and the old world. Seems high pH/soft and the oak is sweet, even if they are second fill barrels. Maybe the sandstone is a big part of it? Interesting and tasty wine for sure — 10 years ago

If you want new world power and old world balance, this hits the mark. Dark cassis, black olive, dried herbs and flowers, great acidity and length. — 11 years ago

Old world style. Lightly perfumed nose of fresh cranberries and a bit of earth. The palate shows ripe cherry, some pomegranate, and savory roasted meat juices. A bit of Herbs de Provence. A nice firm frame means this will keep going for a while. — 10 years ago

The Barolo of the south, more or less. One of the better Taurasis I've tried. Mouthful of old world acidity and tannin balanced by wonderful new world earthiness and fruit. — 11 years ago

What used to happily pass for a "big" wine in Napa. The wine is remarkably fresh and flavorful for a 23 year old new world Cabernet. While time has tamed the tannins somewhat they are still very much evident in every sip. — 9 years ago

Such an amazing producer. Tasted blind, the generous chalkiness led me to white burgundy. Man was I wrong. Clean and direct fruit, neutral oak. New world done in an old world style. — 10 years ago

Too good for the money! A text book example of the quality Old World wines can produce when using newer technology and Old World Instincts. 100% Tempranillo A must try from La Rioja Alta. — 11 years ago
