Medium body, medium dark, medium malt, light yeast, light hop - perfect balance — 10 years ago
What a treat. From the company to the antics of the cork removal, all was fantastic. Not surprised with some immediate mustiness on the nose, giving way to a rich but smooth aged blue cheese, mushrooms, soy sauce, earth, and just a faint hint of dried red fruit. Over the next 20 minutes the glass development was out of control, changing with each and every whiff and sip. Earthy umami, oxidative, and and slightly stewed reds to begin quickly opened to nice dried strawberries on the palate and nose, and advancing to moderately subdued ripened strawberries and cranberries- after 61 years and still kickin with fruit! Amazing. Then after about 20 minutes of rapid metamorphosis, it gave in and decided to fade to a very pleasant sipper...awesome. — 10 years ago
Amazing stuff, funky, aged cheese aromas with some air contact turning to black tea, mushroom, soy sauce, dirt.
Savory, sophisticated, elegant, herby, earthy palate.
I would love this with some nice herb rubbed roasted lamb. — 10 years ago

Flowery aroma with hop and coriander, light attack and sharp bitterness. — 12 years ago
Burnt matchsticks, firewood, soy sauce and bamboo shoots, dark rich fruit. Showing fruit way ahead of tannins that have completely settled. Brilliant wine. Off-vintage. Don't care. Top quality producer wins every time — 12 years ago
Cloudy chocolate color with a thick head. Rich creamy mouthfeel. Fig, prune, chocolate and baking spice. Toasted grain on the long finish. Thats a pretty beer! — 10 years ago
T'as raison Stef, la grand cru est meilleure. Un soupçon artisanale, une belle couleur dorée, un bon goût fruité et une belle mousse abondante. Elle titre à 9.5, ça ne se sent pas trop sur le coup, mais finalement ça tape quand même — 10 years ago
Bière brune qui titre à 9.2. Mousse abondante, et petit arrière goût de caramel boisé. Pour moi, une de mes brunes favorites — 10 years ago
Mouton Vertical dinner. Wow! One of my dream wines to try. This btl came from the cellars of Mahler-Besse collection and was in perfect condition. Ruby red color, sweet ripe red fruits on the nose with eucalyptus, cassis, chocolate mint and exotic spices, had this cola thing going on with soy and caramel. So big, rich, opulent, sexy and young but fully mature. What can I say just a perfect wine in every way! — 10 years ago

Bon ok elle a déjà été mentionnée mais elle fait partie de mes préférées. Une petite brune ambrée avec un mélange boisé et caramélisé. J'adore — 10 years ago

This is pure enjoyment and concentration of beer. Makes you think that sometimes life just doesn't get much better and delicious than this. It is pure and refine, with delicious nuances and complexity and finess. 93 pts. — 12 years ago
