A bit too "artificial", jammy and sweet for me to make it really interesting but I can see this having its fans.
In fairness this should probably have been consumed on the earlier side and is a nice QPR at $15+ — 10 years ago

Lovely champagne, so young and fresh, though it is at its sweet 16. Light gold color, lovely bubbles more on the mild side, I guess it was a bit more perky in the past, nose of citrus, grapefruit, hint of tropical and oak with a touch of yeast. Super fresh body, crisp and appealing, with long yummy fresh finish. A lovely champagne. My score 91, drink to celebrate life any day until 2020. — 10 years ago

Nice, aged Cabernet. Debated opening this one. This started more on the plum and raisin side and a little muted. 15 minutes later? Fig and mushroom with basil and oregano, but not a whole lot of fruit. 30 minutes after that? Dirty black cherry, plums, seemed to find itself after a 31 year sleep. Rather substantial weight in the middle. Finishes with a gritty note. Tannins are definitely dropping here and this one is showing all it has. Good time to drink now! — 7 years ago

This is the ultimate red wine!! 😍 You taste the fruit as soon as it hits your tongue. Has a smooth finish. This definitely is a mislabel because their is no end to the hope in this bottle. #Perfect10 — 8 years ago

Had at the Produttori site in Barbaresco. An excellent wine. Definitely on the lighter side, but very good acid, earth and fruit that is all extremely well balanced. — 9 years ago

Ha! The comments on this wine are amazingly varied. I found it very overt on a chocolate tip, and more robust on the fruit side than your usual PINOT...but I really enjoyed it, would buy again.... — 7 years ago

Such beautiful expressions of aged Chablis, tried the 86/88's side by side, definite aged cumquat on the '86, with a little botrytis, the '88 was a little leaner, but needed time to open up. Amazing wines. — 9 years ago

I usually really enjoy this Sonona Coast bottling, but when drank side by side with the single vineyard wines, it pales in comparison. — 10 years ago

A nose almost like a stout, saturated with vanilla and chocolate and just a touch of ripe blackberry fruit. The palate is still a little blousy and flabby, with huge sweet fruit and mounds of residual sugar meeting the usual suspects of tobacco and tar on the terroir side of things. A little acid balances things out. Unbelievable that this much fruit remains after so many years. — 10 years ago

Earthy and still a bit tannic, a darker side of Lalande. I think it will shine in another 5-10 years. — 10 years ago

It's on the sweeter side. It's great for aperitif or tapas. I think it will also work with desserts. — 11 years ago
