Balanced and smooth with still sufficient acidity. Touch of rancio on long finish. — 6 years ago

Lunch at home on Saturday with friends. Amazingly light in colour like a mid tawny cherry. Manages to be both sweet and savoury amongst the rancio at the same time. The spirit totally integrated. Needed to be drunk in its 51st year. — 6 years ago

Beautiful nose of dried figs. Sherry-like. Palette is soft and off-dry, and lacks the bitterness you might expect from a well priced fortified wine. Solid value and wonderful desert wine. — 8 years ago

Intensivt gult. Blend av 06/07, lagrat i fem år "sous-voile". Många likheter med sherry, men med något större djup och längd. Bittermandel, citron, knäck och väldigt oxidativ. — 9 years ago

Almost impenetrable, viscous; dry black berries, prunes, tree bark, menthol, uplifted and pleasantly volatile. Well educated but raw. Big, juicy, chewy, balanced. Raised in demijohns a-la rancio style. Still quite classic. — 9 years ago

Orange wine of PG. Has a pronounced balsamic, rancio character on the nose with red and yellow fruit and almond candy, the palate has a nice bit of grip and an amaretto-like note on the finish. — 9 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

Bears some resemblance to the Sassicaia 2016, but perhaps noticeably less tart and a bit rougher in composition. I get a hint of rancio. Outperforms many more expensive Tuscan blends... great fun for the money. — 6 years ago

Funky, weirdy! Raisins and tannin and natural yeast. True garagiste wine! — 8 years ago

Lot 10, Base wine Vintage 2010. Losing freshness. Oxidation, rancio character detracts from delicious. More interesting from a cerebral perspective; less so from a gustatory perspective. — 10 years ago

At the Downs Club Magnum Dinner and this was a great way to finish the evening with a Magnum of Warres VP. Just a medium ruby in colour. Typical burnt rancio notes. Resolved tannins and spirit - drinking beautifully at its peak. Drink or hold for a few more years. — 6 years ago

4 years in barrique with no topping up. Classic Jura oxidative nose (not as intensely rancio as full blown vin jaune) with just bloody perfect balance of high acid and texture on the palate — 9 years ago

Clearly the best of the bunch. Many complex sweet and savory layers on the palette and nose. Killer. — 9 years ago
