Wasn't totally in love with it and I can't figure out why.... EDIT: I tried this a second time and the first bottle must have been off. Tart and ripe red fruit, violet, a little mud but not much. Drinking this and skipping around the place. — 8 years ago

I'm like a skipping record with these Pupillins but the initial shipment was 'impressive' size so the repeats are so inevitable.
This one was much better than the last ones. The tanin / acidity hookup here was really different and I can't say why. Three months on a rack surely can't be reason? — 9 years ago

Beautiful and deep. Nice black and red fruit with the recognizable tar and rose on the nose. Like to think I would bail this in a blind tasting. — 11 years ago
I let this age in the box for a couple hours, its ready to go now!
Better than the 15 almost as big as the 14.
14..4 Abv, can smell the dirt & meat as you pour. Learned my lesson this time & bought extra over my allotment
Just saw the wait till July to drink at the bottom of the page🤷♂️ oh well, still enjoyable.

step one- buy rosetta stone - French, 1-5.
step two- save a lot of money step three move to bourguiel and make breton wines. cannot recall the last 12% that wasn't a trocken. global warming skipping the loire? maybe just some folks out there working to make good wine still. :-) — 8 years ago
Big call, but here's to Kumeu River Maté's Vineyard being one of the best #chardonnay in the world! What a #wine! Bright, tight & focused at 8 years of age, with apple blossoms & cinnamon stick followed up by flinty, gun smoke, sun drenched slate tiles, & the faintest whisper of lemon curd on the nose, carrying me away to memories of my youth. Once upon the palate, it boogies to an electrophoretic humming of liquid energy, bringing life, happiness & joy with it. Sapid, sexy acids whirl about playfully, skipping to an extended denouement, combining its components into one, luxuriously wondrous whole. Love it so! — 9 years ago
I've been skipping around the rose territory the last couple of years purposefully not drinking this one and this was my return, a 375mL bottle shared. Easily in my perspective the most forward, complex, and fun pink wine to drink. This needs nothing at all to be 100% satisfying in every aspect. It's not a wonder why I do my best to lay off this stuff. — 10 years ago

Your friend comes back from Hawaii and they bring you a lava rock which they’re not supposed to because it’s bad, bad, very bad luck but you always had a thing for risking the superstitious odds and not sending along chain emails, so you’re into this bad luck rock. They also bring you a lei with less flowers than you’ve seen on leis at the dollar store but you put it on and crack your best pseudo smile for them because dammit they love you and they did what they could, short of bringing you on their romantic vacation. Honestly if they did bring you, you know you’d get into one of your “moods” and not only would you be a hard third wheel, you’d also be named the pity party hostess of the year. Cherries, ash, dried flowers, tannic structure like a good skipping stone. — 7 years ago
After a decade of stalking this man’s chasselas I was so thrilled to see he does a crémant. Musk, white peach, honey, and funk on the nose and palate, crisp with a long mineral and earthy finish. What’s not to love? At $27 I am really going to be skipping the champers and reaching for this more often. — 8 years ago
Great dry Rose for a Summers day. It reminds me of a young beautiful woman letting her sun dress slip daintily off of her shoulder in the way the bubbles and dry fruit characteristics dance around the tongue - skipping all around as gaily as could be — 8 years ago
I was going to bail on this list, but think I'll hang out for another couple vintages — 9 years ago

tastes like when you first get to a summer bbq and there’s smoke in the yard and the grass is squishy, green peppers and skipping stones. Color was a beautiful light red/magenta. Early summer at its finest. — 7 years ago
