Darker than normal styles for a CDN but we are on a prestigious holding of Morey St Denis and this is full fruited still young mind elegant acidity zipping around some forrest notes however a lot of potential when it calms down in a few years but Dujac is a legend for all the tasty reasons. — 9 years ago
Light oak. Stone fruits. Young. Revisited this 3/21. Much better. Some nice weight to this. Definitely stronger hints of peach. Still very fresh and crisp. — 11 years ago
Mmm. Chocolate dipped prune with a fine tannin and a smokiness that is a bit wierd good. — 11 years ago

I was so excited to open this 2006 Leoville Barton. The color was ruby red and dark crimson. Almost black. It opened very hot with just a short decant. The nose showed amazing cherry, raspberry, cocoa and coffee notes. On the palate the tannins are very evident. There are obvious dark berries and even some earthy vegetables and tobacco. Over the course of 2hrs it really came into its own and showed its meddle. This is a great wine and, in my opinion, a great value. While a bit young, this wine a still great now and will be amazing in 10 yrs. — 9 years ago
Randy Dunn does Washington. And he does it well. What I love about this is that it's the exact opposite of a Napa fruit bomb, it has aromas of Cedar, vanilla, chocolate covered strawberries, and some leather tones as it opens up in the glass. Palate is super smooth despite being young, with some herbs de Provence, leather, and sweet market cherries. Medium bodied and a perfect companion for a My Father Le Bijou 1922. — 9 years ago
Beef jerky, black olive, leather, tobacco, blueberry. Is very young, but should be amazing with some additional time in the bottle. So beefy now. — 9 years ago
Really incredible wine from some young winemakers. — 11 years ago
Young wine starting showing a good tannin and structure with some light pepper and meaty notes thanks to the 16 months spent in oak — 11 years ago
Very nice- drank too young. Probably an excellent wine with some age. Will try again. — 8 years ago
Tasted blind. Ruby color. Almost opaque. Young fruit forward nose. Notes of plums, mocha, dark chocolate, coffee, cinnamon and some exotic thing like eucalyptus. So rich and vibrant in the mouth. A forever finish. This wine took us in all directions. Immortal. Stan's 60th will always be remembered for the 45 Latour vs 45 Mouton mano y mano battle. A wine life moment for sure. — 8 years ago
Light yellow with nice bubbles but the nose suffers from some sort of taint which came and went frequently. Debated if it was corked. Still young but hard to evaluate. Need to try another bottle. — 9 years ago
2001 vintage. Lovely youthful notes here. Still way too young. Plummy and mixed berries, some smokey oak, mulberries. On the palate, medium body, tannins are well integrated, hints of black pepper and nutmeg. White chocolate. Yummy despite its youthfulness. Open in 2025. — 10 years ago
Too young and not giving up much right now. Lots of potential but some red fruits and wood most prevalent. — 11 years ago
Doctor No
A weird bit of lacquer and heat on the nose, which mostly blows off and settles down to more classic cab notes. Was a bit better with food. Has mostly dark cassis fruit, still some dry tannins on the finish, good acidity and some oak feels yet unresolved. These drink beautifully young. Maybe still in a rough patch. — 8 years ago
