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 — 8 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. — 9 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. — 9 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. — 10 years ago

Very old world in taste. Opens up after about 30-45 minutes in the glass. Earthy and only slightly tannic on the end — 9 years ago

Pure Oregon Pinot. Well made. Bright burgundy fruit. Cranberry and rhubarb. Crisp fruit, earthy undertones, and good acidity on the finish. Again, new world meets old world. — 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. — 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. — 10 years ago

So beautiful and clear in its purpose, titillating on the nose and fulfilling its promises beyond. Balanced and velvety dark red fruit, hints of black tea and cassis but all in a more Old than New World Gestalt. Lots of secondary stuff emerging you just want to sip it slowly. If anybody wonders how well these age, track one down, it’s so worth it. Kudos @Cathy Corison for making this distinctive and enduring bottle! — 7 years ago

This is a big wine with a major manure factor on the nose! Palate is very old world and vegetal with herbs and wood shavings... still with bold tannins.. good legs. Classic, pure interpretation of Brunello! — 8 years ago

Unique / Bordeaux style wine. Needs time to open and despite the age, would improve with decanting this wine. Old world nose, well balanced on mid palate with forest notes and wild berries. Medium finish — 9 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

Old world style Syrah from Washington. A great surprise — 10 years ago

Jeroen Koenen

Ripe cassis, sweet roasted paprika, open, generous and utterly satisfying. A clear representative of NW-cabernet, but with a definite classical Old-World edge. Loved it. 95/100 — 11 years ago
