So good after five days. Enjoyed initially with pizza and then compost salads thereafter. Not my favorite cuvée; Terriors is but this is good — 5 years ago

A rather dry, lightweight, yet fully-flavored zin. I detected green pepper at the end of my first sip, but none thereafter. I had no idea zin could be this easy to drink! The lovely Doug at Farm Bloomington tended this for me. — 7 years ago

Penultimate bottle! With perennial thanks to D Beckwith for the tip. Owing to its age, it shows best from 30-90 minutes on opening. Thereafter it gets sorta wide without further revelations or complexity, but there’s a kind of mineral sweet spot with cool Japanese umami notes and I’m consistently impressed by the showing. — 7 years ago

Smells like a perm at first but baking spice Washington apples soon thereafter. — 8 years ago

Took about 90 min decanter to open up but excellent thereafter. Strong fruit on the nose, nice acidity and smoky on the palate. — 8 years ago

WOTN-> this absolutely crushed it tonight. Destroyed it's competition. Thank God that I poured it after the Jarvis. No one would've wanted to drink the Jarvis thereafter. Everything that you've come to expect from an incredible Celia Welch wine. Bravo!!! If I could post a picture of a mic drop in right now I would!

@Robert Takahashi This evening was awesome. My brother & sister in law treated us to a phenomenal dinner & we all thoroughly enjoyed a wine that none of us had ever tasted thanks to my long distance friend @Ron R !! 2003 Calon Segur was the WOTN. Decanted 4 hours prior to tasting. Soft & elegant. Crushed dark fruit, mineral & light oak. 60 second finish. This was the 1st wine of the night. All others had a lot to live up to it thereafter. They were good but this Calon was indeed special. Even the restaurants Sommelier agreed with me. He ranked the Calon WOTN, RUDD 2nd and Backus 3rd. . Elegantly awesome! — 9 years ago

A nice Grande Cuvee by Krug. I didn't get to have much of this at all. I do remember that this one had a hair pin trigger on it! I let it breathe for a bit. This one had a nice straw colored hue. Lots of lemon and some nutty characters. Was going to come back to it. It was set down when greeting a guest, and gone very soon thereafter. I remember great fruit but thinking this one probably is still too young. — 7 years ago

Very good but the Jarvis that I️ uncorked immediately thereafter blew it away! — 8 years ago

2010. Opens brawny, even after a good decant. But soon thereafter there appears a wine that is cool, sleek, elegant all the while being powerful, concentrated, and balanced. Seven years in it clings to its primary self, reluctant to age. Tannins are soft and I imagine will only get softer. Long, long finish. This is a special wine. — 8 years ago

Closed for business for the first couple hours and was still slow to unwind thereafter.. Rooted in an old world style. Violets, earth, worn leather, dried black cherry, dried citrus peel and a touch of smoke. — 9 years ago

Our local COSTCOs list this for $9.99, $7.69 on "special". A good Pinot value @ list, it WAY overdelivers @ $7.69. Moreover, I'm guessing improvement over the next yr -- and maintaining for a couple of yrs thereafter. My only criticism for this VERY low end Pinot: The lingering finish may well always be on the "faint" side. [Drunk over 3 days.]

Toffee and maple aromas stand out in this Colheita. Flavours of biscuit and toasted pecan emerge thereafter. The finish is vaguely like vanilla. — 6 years ago

Coche to kick of the long weekend! Lots of tension, exceptional purity. Opened slowly but blossomed thereafter. — 7 years ago

Started strong out of the gate, but fell flat shortly thereafter. Nothing spectacular here, IMO. — 8 years ago

Dark red in color. Stewed fig, cherry pie and smokey nose. In the mouth the tart fruit, rhubarb and smoke builds from the start through an oaky finish with moderate acid lingering long thereafter. I'm wishing now I'd sat on this bottle a few years more. It is luscious and bold now, but a little tightly wound. Someone please invite me to drink the 2013 five years from now. — 8 years ago

Drinking wonderfully with two hours decant, though was even more expressive several hours thereafter. Serious cru bojo made with an obvious Burgundian hand. Everything in balance and far more refinement, structure, and complexity than a typical cru. Recommended at $30 retail. — 9 years ago
