Great value Larose @ £60 that’s ok now but time will definitely help to soften the dry tannins into a 😈 - leave 5+ years 😉

Still drinking like a baby. Very shy in the nose initially until we decanted a bit and opened up. Lovely bouquet of black fruits, chocolate, tobacco, leather and earth. Amazing wine but will be even better in 5-10 yrs — 9 years ago

Having failed miserably at our 2015 new years resolution to drink up our aging cellar faster, we're glad we still have some of these around. Shy at first but then becoming fuller in the glass, this was an excellent hamburger wine tonight. With Alex in Oakland 12-17-2015.. — 9 years ago

1982 Showing elegantly. Like a gorgeous woman that is beautiful to look at, but when you take her out and treat her with the respect she deserves she opens up and shows complexity and layers of beauty. Perfectly balanced and slightly shy. Intoxicating aromas of perfume and spice with a lingering finish that rewards those lucky enough to experience her. — 10 years ago

Shy citrus nose. Citrus and apple favors. Lots of stones/flint. Excellent acidity. Long finish. Still young. Great wine, now priced beyond reason in my market. Glad to have several bottles still stored. THIS IS DIDIER NOT SERGE. — 10 years ago

Where the Savoy was open and singing, the shelf is still the shy little grape (juice). Needs coaxing, but the stuffing is there. Really good juice. — 8 years ago

From magnum, this was a bit muted and restrained with a shy nose of red cherry, blackberry, allspice and mint notes. Lively entry with Sangiovese’s austere tannins. Red cherry, cranberry and cassis fruit in the mouth. Lacked the density I expected. Paired really well with the wild boar ragu and pappardelle. — 7 years ago

As good as this is now I think it still needs a few more years for the oak to mellow. Not a shy wine, very modern and flashy. — 10 years ago

Sonoma coast Pinot. Not a shy wine, full bodied and very smooth. Tuck Beckstoffer offering. — 10 years ago

A bit wound up on nose, still smoky with fresh blackcurrant and elderberry, pine bough, tangy orange and tobacco leaf. Very woodsy, but also quite shy...palate is hugely mineral and mouthcoating, touch of spice, monumental and fresh, long length. No doubt quite excellent, but not showing its arsenal today...wait 5 years at least if you have such patience! — 10 years ago
