Rich and ripe version of the Cannubi Boschis. Dark red fruits, tar and spice hit the plate and sustain forever. Still as fresh as a daisy. — 8 years ago

Bottle variance! Last one was bit maderized but this one was showing much better. Soft mature ripe fruit of peaches, compote and bread yeast toast. Enjoyed it. — 8 years ago

2005 vintage, 500 ml bottle. Forward style of Barolo if not quite international or modern. Nose of tar, spice, leather and some earth. The palate has vanilla (has probably mellowed with age), dark fruits, and mellowed tannins. Good acidity to cut through the fat of the large cut prime rib at Metropolitan Grill in Seattle. Not enough earth to really play with the cedar plank wild mushrooms. I've had older Fontannafreddas and they seemed much more modern in style. The waiter noted that around the mid-2000s they began to change. Would be interested to see if this continued. — 9 years ago

A fantastic bottle of wine! Huge ripe sour fruit and a wonderful 75 second finish that has a hint of plum, licorice, tar bubbles! If you find this wine put it in your cellar for 40 years if you want, it's got that kind of backbone — 12 years ago

Roses, tar and strawberries on the nose. Such an interesting wine! Unripe black plum, licorice and firm tannins. Needs at least 5 more years to be amazing. — 7 years ago

2005 vintage. Seductive nose, much lighter body in color and in the mouth, acidity higher. Tons of rose petal and tar. Finish was only weak point - thought it was a bit too tannic and spicy — 10 years ago

Crazy good for this price range and will get better with age. Still a bit tight at first so needs at least an hour in the decanter. Tobacco, tar, rose petals, cherries and grippy tannins. — 11 years ago

Nose of the night and nicest surprise. Tar and roses led dark red, still fresh juicy fruit. Refined, nicely layered secondary stuff going on. Just beautiful and has at least 5-10 years to go. — 9 years ago

2011. "La Bolorée" - a tiny parcel of 100% Pinot Blanc. April 2015 disgorgement. This wine is more proof that Bouchard is making some of the most intriguing and exciting wines in Champagne. — 10 years ago
