Thought this would be dead but the cork held up! About 30 minutes of pleasure than quickly faded and ox’ed in the glass. Oh well. Dried sour cherry, tobacco, graphite, potting soil, green peppercorn, porcini mushrooms, cigar ash, worn leather. Light, vibrant acid. — 2 years ago

Sour cherry, leather, soil, and herbs. Beautiful volcanic ash element to the minerality. Sturdy tannins and high acid. Needed air to get going but really nice once it did. Great structure. — 4 years ago

Bam! What a wonderful Pinot by an amazing winemaker! The character of this limited offering is outstanding. Everything one wants in complexity, soil, fruit, and albeit sacred character is present in this wine. 2012. — 5 years ago

Aged for 10 months on oak, 29% new, deep Ruby with aromas of sweet berry fruit and toasty oak notes. On the palate strawberry and cherry flavors with smoky oak notes adding in tea, spice and cacao notes. Fine soft tannins, lingering ending with a big mineral spice finish. Nice! — 7 years ago

Well damn! I have a bunch of Young bottles tucked away but finally got to try one with age. 2006 is in a beautiful place. There is bright plum fruit underneath ash, smoke, olive and meat... we gave the chef a taste, and his immediate response from the first whiff was, “sauvage”... he was French — 7 years ago
