Gorgeously saline, an initial plasticine aroma blows off to reveal orange blossom, roasted pecan, citrus peel, maple candy. Vicious acidity marries will with off-dryness but the acid carries the day. Finish lasts a solid minute. I love this as much as I hate port. — 9 years ago

Pecan pie was the overwhelming flavor to me, followed by caramel and molasses. Flavors are distinct and rich. — 10 years ago

2006 vintage. Strong rancio character, strong nuttiness and acidity. Tastes like a pecan and walnut baklava, made with quince and tangerine syrup. Lots of white flowers. So good: old, yet vigorous and lively. Palate: baked quince, red papaya, guava, red pear, roasted cherry, brown sugar, pecans, walnuts, salted caramel, rich toffee, fresh and candied white flowers, overripe peach, apricot and mango leather with white lokkum (Turkish delight). All of the tantalizing flavors of the Near East in liquid form. Finish that just won't quit. — 10 years ago

Had to have something with a pecan-kumquat tart, and although it was too young by a decade, it fit the bill. Tastes as expected, if a little apricot heavy right now. — 12 years ago

I don't drink much Napa Valley Cabernet because Not only are they expensive, but I'm almost always disappointed about how oaky and chocolatey they are. But this one is quite nice. Rich cassis, an earthy eucalyptus note, and a bit of the ubiquitous chocolate. Great texture, and enough dark clingy fruit to carry the chocolate. Long finish. Great with mesquite/pecan wood grilled hangar steaks. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah all! — 10 years ago

Screw buttercake, forget pecan pie drink your desert 👅👅 my guest Loved it, they order 2 bottle for desert. There are 10,000 cases of this perfect sweet white Bordeaux. The 2001 Yquem reveals a hint of green in its light gold color. it offers up honeyed tropical fruit, orange marmalade, pineapple, sweet creme brulee, and buttered nut-like scents. In the mouth, it is full-bodied — 11 years ago

Had it with dessert at the Kysela dinner. Nose shows dried berries and pecan. The palate is velvet smooth. Rich and sweet, a little nutty. Not very heavy, dangerously light actually. I could guzzle this but at 20% I've gotta stop myself!!! — 11 years ago

Smells to me like pecan pie, tastes nice and creamy. Notes of butterscotch but not too overpowering. Nicely balanced with a bit of acidity. Perhaps citrus like lemon peel. — 9 years ago

Birthday wine. Good buttery and acidic smells with some petroleum and lime. Creamy mouth and slightly sweet. Cashew, toffee, and vanilla,. Very soft and coats the mouth, has some. Butter pecan but mixes in green apple and lime for a very balanced rich special wine! — 10 years ago

Lemon pie and orange blossoms with lemon poppy madeleines lingering in the stratosphere. Banana bread and cedar shavings. The bourbon barrel screams from the glass. Hazelnut and pecan turn creamy vanilla pudding, pine nut, grass clippings and charred bits, with a satisfying carbon and graphite in a lemon pith middle burning a hot streak. — 10 years ago

Love this producer! Super classic and drinking perfectly right now with all of the secondary notes just starting to poke their heads out and say hello. Lemon custard, buttered brioche, nougat, candied hazelnut and pecan. Almost flawless. I could drink this wine often. — 11 years ago

Deep amber color. Aromas of birch bark, vanilla, old linens, and mahogany. It smells like autumn leaves in the deep woods after rain, and it tastes like wood, too—birch and pecan, walnut, sarsaparilla. There's roundness at the front and sharpness at the back, and the finish is bitter nut. Pour straight over ice or add tonic and a splash of white port. 16% abv | $28 (New Hampshire) — 13 years ago
