A pretty amazing northern Victorian cool climate Shiraz that does not have the normal price tag. Giaconda creates an interesting well priced wine with great fruit, balance and structure. — 13 years ago
Just released! 2014 single vineyard chard from McLean Creek Rd in OK Falls, only 412 cases produced. On the nose, floral w dried herb aromas, mineralogy on palate, fresh, lively. 100% French oak, 27% new. — 11 years ago
Interesting wine- Pomelo and a slight tropical fruit. Round, medium palate of unripe green apple and minerals. Paired nicely with smoked paprika spiced ratatouille and polenta. Would not have guessed a Sauv Blanc when first opened. — 11 years ago

Enjoying this great bottle of Ch. Grand-Pontet 1998 Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé with Steve & Ashley Mandy at Restaurant Colette, Lincoln Rd. Miami Beach — 11 years ago
Delicious and balanced cab. Slightly berry but mostly just grapes doing what they do best, giving me a delicate pillow of a classy ass buzz. Pairs well with sailors and other fine folk. — 12 years ago

Really quite fine. Subtle melange of red grapefruit pith, honeydew, kiwi, and underripe papaya. There's a methol-herbaceous veneer across the wine, but none of the obnoxious asparagus water or jalapeño notes that characterize more clumsy pyrazine management. While the 14.5% alcohol will be too much for some, there's a great texture that comes from it. And hey, there are more than a few vintages of the Cotats and a few Dagueneau wines that are 14%+...Just a pillow of low toast, well-integrated oak and creamy (malo?) texture. I weirdly could maybe use more oak because of how vibrant the fruit is... — 11 years ago
