Floral 👃🏽 grapefruit, Apple. Good with sushi. NOT SWEET 👍🏿 — 11 years ago
1961. I comment it bearing in mind that it is an authentic bottle and many of us think of the contrary. Color is garnet rim, core almost ruby. Violet, raspberry, blackcurrant. So aromatic and the vivid if not juicy palate, feels like a Rioja crianza. Amazing depth of structure. Linear. Finish is broad. I'd say it's a 94 or 86, 89 if blind. Buy. — 12 years ago
Negramoll and Syrah, each vintage getting a significant change in cepage depending on quality. Fresh, assertive, and sexy; bold fruits and judicious wood. — 11 years ago
Inky dark color with a purple rim.
On the nose, Blueberries, figs, blackberries, spices, vanilla and black pepper.

Bold, big and full bodied.
Smooth, sweet and sexy on the palate, with blackberries, dried figs, raisins, black pepper, vanilla and herbs.
Long lasting finish with smooth tannins and black pepper. Excellent!! — 12 years ago
Excellent bottle. The 01 is supposedly a better vintage but im not sure when it comes to this producer. Clear, day bright, garnet and orange brick like color, medium - concentration, orange/peach rim variation, slight sediment, low viscosity. Nose: sound, moderate intensity, stewed cherries/strawberries/raspberries, floral, spicy and lots of dill pickle and slight game. A mushroom note as well. Palate: dry, med- body, stewed plums over ripe cherries/strawberries, lilies, dill, vinegar, leather, button mushrooms, game, mulch with some cedar and coconut. Very complex. Med- tannins, medium alcohol, high acid, long finish. Between the 01 and the 98 its a tough choice of which one to put in the wine cooler to store. — 12 years ago
Garnet with rim variation turning brick/terracota, corn on the cob, dill, molasses. — 11 years ago
Now this is a great wine. Dark in color, almost black with a purple rim.
Magnificent nose with blueberries, figs, plums, and herbs.
Sweet candies on the palate with blueberries, cranberry, dried figs, raisins, peppercorn.
Big, bold and beautiful with gorgeous legs.
Smooth and sexy long finish with bold tannins and ripen fruits.
Great right out of the bottle. After 2 hours in the decanter, chewy tannins on the finish. This is not my first, and definitely not my last. Very consistent from year to year.

Had the 2013 a while back, and I gotta say the 2014 is slammin'. Well balanced, quenchy, stone fruity, zesty. The force is strong for GB in Oregon. — 11 years ago
