A real orange wine. Had the aromas of a Geuze and hints of an Belgian Oud Bruin ale underlying the wine. Really interesting but I think highly dependent on the food pairing. In this case it was unusual and excellent. — 7 years ago

A great toasty coffee with just the right sour to finish clean and refresh on 90 degree day — 9 years ago

These beers always make me take a step back. Red licorice, even strawberry twizzler on the nose with dried fig and balsamic notes. Palate is simultaneously rich fruit and tart rhubarb with superfine bubbles. No oak- just pure malt and soured character. Sublime w salty cheese and plum preserve. — 10 years ago

We had a couple of friends over and did a fun little 2010 Saint-Damien Gigondas side-by-side consisting of “La Louisiane” and “Les Souteyrades”. Both wines were opened six hours prior to service; each spent three hours in the decanter and also slow-ox’ed in the bottle for an additional three. I initially questioned whether decanting was even necessary but after reading some of the notes on CT and trying a small bit after pulling the corks, it seemed to me that air would be beneficial.

The “Les Souteyrades” was a trip to the Woodland Realm. On the nose this was brambles, oud (agarwood), boiled spinach, curaçao, smoke and mushrooms. A much more powerful and rustic wine than “La Louisiane”. This should drink well for another decade. — 7 years ago

Sour rules. Tart but rich. A tale like an espresso with lemon. But balanced, not as intensely sour as some oud bruins. Really quite special in the beer world. — 9 years ago

basic grapefruit smell. Somewhat closed on the nose. Good sour note but not very complex — 7 years ago

Bottle No. 3835. Slow ox'd for two hours prior to dinner. On the nose, this was mind-blowing. Our guest was head over heals with the smell alone. Aromas of dark cherries, high quality agarwood (oud), spices, and dusty underbrush. I can't ever recall smelling oud in a wine before. Simply stunning. Flavors of dark cherries, baking spices tomatillo and balsamic. Long finish. There's more buried in there but I was hosting dinner and wasn't afforded the time and focus necessary to unpack everything that was going on in the glass. Rest assured, this wine is not messing around and it's a very good "baby" Pagliaro. The major difference between the two is the RdV lacks Pagliaro's massive structure. The RdV is more approachable at this stage with softer tannins and the sensation of slightly less acidity. These are great to have while you let your bottles of Pagliaro to mature. Drink now with a short decant but should hold well over the next 5-10 years if well stored. — 8 years ago

Ok. Cherry ale, #brutnature and method traditionelle. A bit on the fruity side, one thinks of New Glarus for a second, but this has acidity! Super tart. Rocked with chocolate! — 9 years ago
