Transparent garnet in the glass. Black cherry and cedar on the nose. Firm velvety tannins rule the palate of black tea and black cherry. Dark anise finish. — 11 years ago

Dark purple -- near black -- in the glass. Graphite and dark chocolate on the nose. Firm tannins on entry. Dark chocolate, blackberry, and graphite rule the palate. Plenty of life left in this, but very satisfying right now (after a good decanting). — 11 years ago

Best Napa Cab I've had since 1991 vintage. Why can't this style be the rule rather than the exception? — 11 years ago

2011. Really serious Chablis. The ripeness, noble reduction and oak here are all really intense and dialed in. Entering the beginning of what will be a really charming adolescence. The only downside is that it tastes kind of like great producer 1er cru Puligny. I'm not the first one to say it, but a great example of the rule that Chablis' 1er crus are often more "true" expressions of the place than the GCs are. Really delicious and a great value, but missing the green salinity and lithe, sinewy structure of some of its "lesser" relatives. — 11 years ago
