Nose is rich, ripe orchard fruits, sun-warmed slate, brioche, and nuts. Palate is razor-sharp. Full and decadent, all the while walking on a tightrope. Finish just don't quit. awesome stuff. — 10 years ago

Just delicious. Just starting to veer over into aged character. At first opening, very little fruit but blossomed into golden apple. Lush. Tightrope balance in a pretty dress. Great with whole fish. — 10 years ago

So, so, so good. Exactly the right amount of RS and screaming acid. 200-pound barbell on a tightrope. Oozes Chenin-y power: baked apples, beeswax, salt, honeysuckle, aged cheddar, and crushed white stone. Pinguets at the hight of his powers in a stellar vintage. Hope there are more in the pipeline like this. Demi-sec is my favorite style from the house and probably the most age-able table-wine style, as the Molleux are too sweet for anything but cheese, in general. Drink from now until the end of time. — 10 years ago

From the private stash at Vérité another Pierre Seillan wine that captures his innate imperative to march to the beat of his own drum. Tannat, CS, CF and Malbec with a spritely nose of citrus and dark cherries (made me think of a Chianti) but bright and good-tangy, perfect for hot-sunny-day Rose that actually walks the tightrope between red and white like the greatest Wallenda. — 10 years ago

Does an amazing job of walking the tightrope of new/old world, fleshy fruit (pear, quince, pomelo), with just enough acid to keep it in balanced. A bit of nutty bitterness at the finish-- what it needed..,. — 10 years ago

This wine has rescued my taste buds from several recent lackluster wines - it is absolutely delicious! A blend of 8 varieties including Bobal, Grenache & Cab Franc. This wine is rich, luxurious, headily aromatic, deep, darkly fruity and balanced like a tightrope walker. Find it, drink it, love it! :) — 11 years ago

Fantastic NZ Sauv Blanc! Attractive light green; gooseberries(!), grapefruit, clean apple cider, with a faint hint of green peppercorns, cooked sage, and line zest; stunning acidity and tightrope balance. Could drink this every day! Absolutely fantastic with grilled lobster and monkfish. — 10 years ago

Straw yellow & medium viscosity. Tropical aromas & racy acidity punctuates notes of under-ripe peach & lush pineapple. Walks a tightrope of ripeness & lean crisp fruit, enhanced with a mineral finish. — 11 years ago
