Somewhere between shoe polish and prunes on the nose with a streak of smoky allspice and juniper. Sarsaparilla tar, roasted eggplant skin, oregano, burnt corn, cat bed, wet leather, black beans, burnt coffe and cigar ends. Coffee-rootbeer, black pepper, black mushroom, and eel. Sleek and nuanced, but a mistress of epic proportion. #dankdark #bellsbrewery #neptune — 9 years ago

I'm flying! Gold medal. This is pretty pervy wine. Leather baby. For your mistress, not your wife. — 10 years ago
A rich Gevry-Chambertin from Lucien Boillot. I've had a lot of Pierre's brother, Louis (married to a true Mistress of Wine, Ghislaine Barthod), but this is the first of my Lucien Boillot's made by Pierre. I think I like the quality and price:quality a bit more than the Louis Boillot (his prices have gone up since he left the Rosenthal stable). Fragrant, dark cherry, cranberry, earth, and some leather and mushroom on the nose and palate. Clean, deep red color. — 8 years ago
@Robert Takahashi thanks to my brother in-law for bringing this gem!
He decanted overnight and we poured it today. Absolutely beautiful legs on this mistress. Thin and long! The nose is spectacular as well. Oak immediately grabs your attention. Blackberry, & licorice follows. The tannins are there and to be expected from such a young Dunn but they soon fade away as your thoughts lead the way to the next sip of enjoyment. Definitely a big boy!! Thank goodness I have my big boy pants on right now!!!! 😜👍🍷🍷👍😜 — 9 years ago

If I had one sentence to describe this wine, it is this: "Ca' Togni is the definition of desire." The vintage was a 2006, and let me tell ya, have the years been great to this mistress! Showing a deep brick red color, and a wine still showing all its wonderful fruits, with an expected maturity thrusting forth delightful complexity, this wine will make you love Black Hamburg! (Black Muscat) On the nose, notes of dried figs, dried rose petals, old leather, strawberry-rubarb jam, followed by a pallet of racy dark maraschino cherries, brown spices, and a vanilla finish. Phillip Togni is a hell of a wine maker out of Spring Mountain! I highly recommend trying one of these, even if it is $50, it was most certainly worth it! On top of that, it is 1 of only three wines he crafts, still in his 80's, still the king of the mountain. — 10 years ago
This is so delicious. Really quirky packaging 'hints of lipstick and leather'. Perfect to drink now but definitely better after it's been open a day or so. — 11 years ago
89 pts A wise man once said, Margaux is a beautiful mistress. True she is mystical, like a dream she is just out of reach and so alluring and this is insane value. A very good Margaux vintage.
Entering its window now, the nose is med and very alluring, earthy black fruit, cedar and wet tea bags, toffee whiffs, it needs focus and is pure pleasure to concentrate on every step.
The palate is dark fruit, pencil lead with more tea leaves, good complexity, excellent intensity and a finish which is broad, long and elegant integrated tannin.
Very much enjoyed. — 9 years ago

Our son brought this to dinner for our 35th anniversary at our favorite BYOB last weekend. The wine geek in me says "Chilean Pinot?" Really?
This is what I love about my wine mistress. I'll never master it and my expectations are often turned upside down. I can't believe how good this was. well balanced, with strawberry and cherry notes. A heavier mouthfeel which I liked. But this if you find it, you be pleasantly surprised. I was. — 10 years ago
This bottle could be my mistress. So pretty at 26 — 10 years ago
