bloody, deep dark yet somehow light on its feet. Heavy upfront sanguine notes from incredibly iron rich soils. Black licorice, dark plum, deep dark cherry, a bit of blue fruit, hint of sage, eucalyptus. Soften the palate yet with good tannic pull and that vibrating Etna acidity. A baby. — 7 years ago
Showing in good form, this Côte Rôtie is a vibrant and fresh wine that intertwines fruits like kirsch, cherry and blackberry with an iron-tinged, sanguine salinity. The acidity is spot on and keeps things in good balance. On the nose there are notes of garrigue, menthol, blackberry and licorice. Definitely rich, well concentrated full body, but not overpowering. Another '11 winner from Rhone. — 9 years ago

A gorgeous color and texture in the glass, brick color with pink edges, sanguine in its viscosity. Started out with raisin and prune notes, but after decanting it opened up with layers of dried herbs and forest floor with undertones of leather and vanilla. — 10 years ago
Still powerful and sanguine after all of these years! It was great to pour an old, good Zin for the Coutelas' and show them a Cali original. — 11 years ago

High toned raspberry, black cherry and wild berry fruit, leather, sandalwood, dark rose, a little bit of a sanguine note, tarragon black tea, and dominant undercurrent of musk and earth framing it all. Seems to have that halfway chambolle to Gevrey thing. Not particularly long but lots of interest.
Good big body and acidity but still with very aggressive tannins. Really only came Into its own day 2. A broad shouldered wine, and a definite hold m — 6 years ago
A mild earthy, sanguine note, that is masked by sweet, big red brambly fruit with slight floral notes. Medium acid, good tannins. Cranberry, red apple skins with dirt and tar finish. — 7 years ago
Wapping amounts of bitter dark chocolate. Clearly in transition and needs a good decant. Very good tannin structure. — 8 years ago

This 25 yr old #chinon cab franc is still absolutely beautiful. Sanguine color, poured out of #coravin so still had a little funk on the nose that quickly reveals wet earth and mushroom tones, plenty of delicate fruit left. I'd say it's hit its peak, but I'm going to keep a little around to try down the road. — 9 years ago
Elements of this wine make it a total mystery. Tart black cherry and carbonic yea, but something deep, sanguine and intensely granitic is just as primary. Hats off to Antoine Luyt. — 10 years ago

An incredibly expressive and terroir-driven wine that might be one of the world’s best wine values. Volcanic microclimate shines clearly through a heady nose whose first bite is not just smoke but...smoking volcano. Along that sweet dark fruit, grilled lavender, flowers. In the palate more primary with black cherries (grilled black cherries???) exotic spices, cooked black pepper, bay leaf, sage, that sanguine element that screamed high-iron volcanic soil, all held together by a very sitinctive salty spine. Finishes with a long note of those herbs and some drying tannins. Very juicy but with good structure and medium acidity avoiding any sense of being cloying. A really unique, transparent and well made wine that is an astounding value. I wonder whether it improves with age or is at its best here... — 5 years ago
