If Captain Ahab had a piece of milky quartz in his mouth, kissing him would be like drinking this wine. — 10 years ago

What a surprise to drink at a (fun--needless to say!) Saturday work event. I loved this. Quite aromatic, it had all the layers of silky blackberries, licorice, raspberries, leather, fresh mint, and something meaty like ratatouille. And the structure: this has plenty of acid and tannin to go the distance, but it's super fresh and integrated so is drinkable today. — 10 years ago
Monumental wine. First of all, you have to let breathe for half an hour. Let it settle in your glass as if it were Brando preparing to watch himself on VHS, sunk in a big leather armchair. It smells like dried fruits and tomato sauce running hand-in-hand around a pine tree. Mouth is very silky and elegant. A work of art. — 10 years ago
In fantastic condition. Very Top Shoulder. Firm cork, pulled in one piece. Wine: Fully enveloped in its secondary aromatic life. Forest floor, sweet leather, excellent color, bright aromas, resolved tannin. It makes me think of '66 Latour, a vintage favorite. Off the 66s, probably top 3-4 of vintage. — 11 years ago
After a hard of work. Some VINO & a pack of french fries from the 'frituur'. — 10 years ago
