Stewed cherries and plum skins. A ton of acid. This one could run for years more... — 10 years ago

2004. Like visiting an old friend. Found this when I went to scanned labels for CT inventory. Quite tasty. Great Grenache fruit up front. Not a ton of heat. Well integrated. Smooth. — 11 years ago

Very good, but not a ton of structure and body. — 11 years ago

Picked up a ton of tannins on the finish since bottling. Let 'em rest for a year or so. — 10 years ago

Duke. North Carolina. The hints of Tobacco Road hit me like a ton of bricks. — 11 years ago

I don't have a ton of experience with this style of wine, but I'm so glad it exists. The rancio/fresh fruit qualities are almost perfectly balanced. I'd gladly pick it over 90% of tawny Ports in the same price realm. — 11 years ago

A very intriguing bottle from the strangest of vintages. Dom. Chev. Blanc is flat out one of the greatest white wines in the world, and they produced a honeyed, full bodied drink that took quite a while to open, and showed no signs of age. The acid seemed low (no surprise for an 03) and the finish was not endless like it usually is, but the wine had a ton of breed none the less. I think it was best with the inventive scallop tostada that we had as an appetizer. — 11 years ago

Waiting on the 2010s. Laurence got plenty of ripeness out of this vintage, just with a bit less density than 2010. Grilled herbs, cocoa, and iron with its ripe fruit. A ton of iron minerality on the palate suggests this one may be deceptively built for the long haul. Tannins are big, long, and silky. Very compelling and distinctive — 11 years ago
