Wine of the night for me and probably the best wine I have had so far this year. Remarkable balance at this stage, with dried fruits and cocoa throughout. An elegant finish that even had a little bit of tannin still present. Just fantastic! — 9 years ago

This is the 2009. Love this stuff. Black and red fruits on the nose with a deep, smokey, nutmegy nose. Palate is balanced with mouthwatering acidity over chewy tannins. Baked pie sweetness adds to the experience. Long finish. Excellent wine. Delicious. — 10 years ago

Sweet, buttery, reminiscent of a lightly oaked chardonnay, with the crisp green apple notes of a Riesling. — 11 years ago

First, a person has to pause and realize how lucky they are to drink this wine from 3L. Thanks Clyde for opening. This is in a perfect stage. Such evolution, length, balance, structure. Love the lower 80's alcohol levels. It's rich, lush and near perfect. Dark cassis; ripe and resolved blackberries, dark cherries, black plum w/skin, mixed berry liqueur, tobacco leaf, leather so soft you would wish it as a pillow cover, dry pebbles, dark rich earth, perfect acidity and a rich, elegant, ripe dark fruit finish. In 3L, this wine still has 10-15 years. — 9 years ago

13.7% alc.
The nose is starting to show a hint of age that doesn't really translate to the palate which is still juicy, fresh and vibrant.
This should be in prime drinking window for the next decade.

Entering that stage I love in champagne. The macaroon, toasted brioche notes that older champagne has, while still having vibrant acidity and bubbles. — 10 years ago
