Wow. Smooth, silky, ripe fruit, complex. This was my first KB, and although this is their entry level Pinot Noir, it upholds the reputation spectacularly well. — 11 years ago

The Velvet Glove. What a nose on this one! Dark fruit, tobacco, chocolate, and mint. Lives up to its reputation :) #yegwine — 13 years ago
Tasted June 20, 2015. A perfect bottle that lived up to its reputation. So hard to find one with guaranteed provenance and not a fake. From the German cellar of Armin Diel, Mahler-Besse. Almost overwhelming chocolate mint, dust, great tannic structure, cherry cola, eucalyptus bark, vanilla, unchanged in the glass for two hours. This wine will likely live another 100 years. — 10 years ago
2005 White Burgundies have a reputation as being soft, round and forward, but not at chez Coche Dury--broad on the mid palate with plenty of gentle toastiness in the glorious finish--perfect balance from top to bottom--a ROCK STAR BOTTLE! — 11 years ago
Cool climate Aussie Shiraz at its best. Certainly lives up to its reputation. Fantastic drop. — 12 years ago
At first a bit closed and tight. With time the hype became understood. Layers on layers of dense dark fruit with epic length and complexity. Stunning in every facet. The nose contained an inky tone that i love in the high grade napa cabs. Followed by a subtle mint accent that really complimented our prime tri tip with rosemary. Marthas is one martha fuggah. After a couple hours......the menthol/eucalyptus became insane. Like a york peppermint rush on the nose. Almost icy in nature. If i had known, i would have allowed for a 2+ hour decant before touching this wine. This is a wine that really lives up to its reputation. It was a baby, tannins were still super grippy and coarse. This needed about 7-10 more years. I will be finding more to put away! — 10 years ago

This was the 1990 vintage and it was great! Still so young, an amazing wine and it's reputation is well deserved. — 11 years ago

Gorgeous nose of ripe pineapple, lime zest, petrol and flint. The acidity is very intense but is supported by the lush fruit. Its long finish is indicative of this quality producer and its excellent reputation — 10 years ago
