Really starting to enter a great drinking window. Raspberry, herbs, spice, a touch of oak. This has the fruit and structure to age gracefully for a long time. — 8 years ago
Lucious floral and fruit aromas followed by bold flavors of raspberry jam with subtle oak overtones. Well structured and balanced with great mouthfeel and a great lingering finish. One of my favorite big Pinot Noir's. — 10 years ago
Made with complete cluster of grapes, dark inky purple in color, smells of nail polish, white pepper, tobacco with lively but restrained acidity, firm and strong tannin, tastes of leather, salty meat, raspberry, mineral stone, mint and herb, full body with complex long finish. Really tasty! — 10 years ago
Recommended to me from this site. It was stellar. Lush red raspberry, rich cassis and bright currants to add acidity. I loved this wine. Can't wait for the Chardonnay! $45 / 92pts — 12 years ago
Yep Mrs E popped another 🤣 the 09 Sass (10th try) & @ £138-£180 is going to be a lovely 😈 in time if Mrs E stops opening them 🤣 Notes similar as before but dryness is easing & other subtle changes appearing 😁

The nose is a nice blend of chocolate covered raisins, black cherry, vanilla, black raspberry and blackberries. The nose is confirmed on the palette, but in a dry, pleasant way. Not a fruit bomb, nice touch of earth. — 9 years ago

A nice wine with an enticing aroma. Slightly jammy with a hint of smokiness and a delightful hint of raspberry jam. — 10 years ago
Lots of sediment. Big wine lots of fruit. Graphite, blackberry/raspberry. Wonderfully Grenache – centric.Very satisfying and enjoyable but has lots of time left. — 11 years ago
Really good Pinot Noir with tastes of cherry and raspberry. Medium bodied, more fruit than earth. — 7 years ago
Smell like a rose in the rain. Cherry, raspberry, perfect harmony of acid, ripeness, body melds into an ever so graceful finish. String of minerality throughout. Vg — 8 years ago
