Great hints of spice, mocha and chocolate. Enjoyed it so much I finished it and needed a second bottle! Haha — 9 years ago

One of my all time favorites from Alexander Valley CA almost 10 years old opened very mature excellent value for money! — 11 years ago
When I first opened it I wasn't that impressed and amazed at why people would spend so much on a bottle. After one hour, it was so herbacious and complex I think I dreamt in Italian for a week — 11 years ago

This is just a delicious brut rosé, really one of the best out there that isn’t four figures...beautiful fruit that melts on your tongue, just excellent — 7 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
Another level... Still dense at the core, with steady, attractive bricking: Wonderfully dense nose of blackcurrents, pencil shavings, fine tanned leather, and a hint of woodland floor (fine moss, leaves, and fresh soil after an autumn shower). Velvety tannins and great acidity. Along with the '66 this is one of my all-time favourite Bordeaux vintages. Seems to be keeping up better than the '61s I've had over the last few years!
We drank half of it from the coravin before waxing the top in case the cork had lost too much elasticity to self-seal. I'll have the rest with my brother in a few weeks' time! — 9 years ago
Delicious! Very fruity and a mouthful! Yum — 11 years ago
Spicy, soily like the aroma of fresh dirt & chocolate sprinkles. I just enjoy this wine. — 11 years ago

When we open from 1987, we expect everything. One thinks of its conservation in cellar, the risk that it is passed or incredible, with the tannins having evolved in this vial ... The cork pulled-out, in perfect state and one knows in advance that one hit the jackpot and that it will be phenomenal. A coppery robe, a complex nose with aromas of black and floral fruits. In the mouth, an explosion of flavors that take the length and makes us go back in time. A very large estate for an incredible wine, to fall 😍🍷 — 8 years ago
Nose is strong, but not sure what I smell. Flavor is not as strong as I would expect based on the nose; hints of red fruit. — 9 years ago
One of my favorites. Big bold red. — 10 years ago
My reading speech for itself. I enjoy it very much — 11 years ago
I was a strict pinot grigio drinker and never used to enjoy red wines until I tried this one. — 13 years ago

One Masculine Pinot Noir deep dark ruby color... blackberry front slight tannin smoothes out and finishes nicely. It’s a pinotcabzinsyrah... — 6 years ago
