This shows so much candied yet subtle grapefruit, orange and guava peel; yet the tertiary character is also deliciously prominent in the form of flint and straw box. The body is ridiculously intense given the reserved nose, uplifted by beautiful acidity and a seemingly everlasting finish. The flavors on the palate are even more impressive: passion fruit and chalk intermingle amid a very phenolic texture, playing off layers of dense white fruit. A white that's remarkable now but one that will age for still many years to come. — 9 years ago

The main problem was that we opened it far too soon! A remarkable wine, beautifully light and deep at the same time. A lesson in not judging by alcohol % - you would never know it was 14.8. — 10 years ago

Fantastic Chardonnay. Very old world; just a subtle hint of oak. Apple and peach and flint. Very nice depth and a remarkable feel. One of the best I've had. — 10 years ago

2011. The nose is full of red berries, with a dark flair. Raspberry, cherry, and red currant are met with Grahm’s signature savoriness of roasted meat, beef jerky and black olive tapenade. The sip reveals that the ‘11 Cigare is a festival of darkness. The savory aspects come forward in a rush. The forest floor, the olive, the spice - all are cloaked in a dark fruit setting. Black plums, currant and berries work hard to mesh with the wine's earthy character. The acidity is remarkable and the tannic structure is firm. — 11 years ago

A ferrous nearly sanguine Bordeaux that is rather more handsome than beautiful in that this Pauillac is masculine in its sandalwood, cedar plank, a cassis black currant and red plum, a wood smoke and a leathern and aromatic hardwoods with a breath of air only improving this all the more -remarkable! Thank you John and Peter Wackel! — 12 years ago

Chocolate - tart black cherry cake flavors with an intoxicating - beautiful dark spicy aromas. This a multidimensional Dry-Creek Zinfandel, not super jammy, not super okay. .balance is remarkable — 9 years ago

This is already quite enjoyable, with a bouquet showing intense dark fruits, licorice, cedar and sweet spice. On the palate it displayed silky textures with vibrancy and remarkable freshness for the vintage. Tart blackberry, mushroom and tobacco lasted long into the finish, along with a tug of moderate tannin. — 10 years ago

Another lovely wine from this remarkable house. "Mystery wine" before our Brut Rosé tasting this week. Blind, I thought it was from the Loire. Rich, full, mineral. Electric acidity. — 12 years ago

17.5. 2008. Remarkable transformation. First day ok, but not special. After a few days under argon, it blossomed. Rich and long. Try decanting. — 9 years ago

A remarkable wine, a bit like many ‘45’s in its power and concentration. And while those who are after some more of the La Chapelle structure may be disappointed (and I have sympathy with aspects of the assessment), this is such an full expression of fruit and terroir, that I can really only cheer. Plums, orange zest, pepper and currants on the enticing nose. The palate is awash in luscious, sweet fruit, soy tinged, with melting tannins, round and soft, pure velvet past the mid palate, and it finishes with gusto, batons twirling, with layered exuberance and appealing length. — 9 years ago

Byob. Wow is all I can say. If anything borders on perfection this wine is it. Truly a remarkable effort and kudos to Ann for such an amazing legacy of wines. Trust me, find the wine and buy it. — 10 years ago

Was worried after initial taste (nose of olives, bitter/sour cherries on the palate, acid, resolved tannins) but it was very good WITH food after about a two hour decant and even more remarkable considering its age. Very well-balanced and smooth. This is the second 20+ year old Seavey that I've had and I'm quite impressed with their ability to age. Though I prefer them with 5-10 years of age vs 20+. — 10 years ago
