Verging on hot Italian, in that sour cherry sundried tomato red pepper sandwich topping vein. Not without development, primary fruit alive, still a little boozy/alcohol/glycerol on finish, on reflection—though to be clear, 13.2% on the label. 10-acre vineyard planted to cabernet in 1945, merlot added in ’83. — 10 years ago
Nice blackberry aromas, fairly oxidative and a touch of VA. Seems like a longer period between topping and it has added a nice micro oxidation to softens the tannins so... — 10 years ago
Barrel fermented (neutral) for 10 months. Deliciously full bodied with subtle citrus aromas and lots of acidity on the palate. Tastes like a key lime without the meringue topping. — 11 years ago
Savory brownie with a blackberry compote topping, Rich but quick to finish, savory lingers but the full finish isn't quite there — 11 years ago
Full bodied. Great for topping off a meal — 11 years ago
Just bottled after almost 9 years in barrel without topping. The most sherry-like wine I've had without adding any distillate. Harvested with high sugars but very light and extremely savory. — 12 years ago
Got a bottle at the ranch before seeing white Christmas. So good with my filet with truffle butter topping! — 12 years ago
Because why not have a beautiful red wine on a Monday night. Paired with ribeye topped with chimichurri and baked potatoes, and a summer squash bake w/ a Parmesan Romano topping. Just what I had in the house. Decanted to help this young blend breathe. Bold, flavorful and great finish. — 9 years ago
Absolutely phenomenal!!!!
Love, love, love...
Excellent aroma. Like a big spoon of creme brulle...the only thing its missing is the crunchy flambe topping. Really smooth..
This ones a keeping. Getting a case next time — 10 years ago
Dark, full, sexy. Requires food. Consumed with a ribeye and raw egg yolks as a topping --it held up and had presence throughout — 10 years ago
Holy botrytis! This thing reeks of noble rot--practically dripping with ooey gooeyness- candied lemon peel, bruleed grapefruit, grandma's ambrosia salad (Midwestern family, sorry!)- there's definitely some wet mossy earth in the background. Palate is medium sweet and richly savory-flavored, almost like a saffron syrup, or perhaps a passion fruit Creme brulee with an almond topping. Needs some foie or stinky ass blue — 11 years ago

Truly sent from the underworld. Light doesn't actually penetrate it. Syrupy sweet, coffee/chocolate notes like someone boiled down a stout into a dessert topping followed by aggressive bitter hops. The 17% abv is masked nicely until it gnaws away at your esophagus a few seconds later. — 11 years ago
I'm partial to Spanish wines and this is no exception. It can stand alone as a solid Tempranillo or it an be (as I discovered last night) the rich topping on a very refreshing mixed drink. — 11 years ago
Infused w dark chocolate. Wonderful w cheesecake w strawberry topping — 12 years ago
Lean, mineral...oxidized...yeast cap in barrel- intentional evaporation (no topping off) so geeky and so yummy. — 12 years ago
Goal of the day: be a good, thoughtful, giving partner to my husband who is 45yrs young today. Lots of kid duty, lots of cooking (which I love, twist my arm) and topping the day off with steaks, potatoes and leeks au gratin (leeks, I love you so), and a gorgeous David Abreu masterpiece. Love love love it. #beanetgiver — 10 years ago
Textbook Corton in its best shape. I am genuinely surprised by this bottle — Bouchard overdelivered and jumped higher than usual, especially given a messed up 2011 with drought and hail — fantastic rustic, bloody iron ethereal nose, full of eucalyptus, ripe red fruit, menthol and richer fresh flowers, pure joy to just swirl and enjoy the aromas. Gorgeous deep ruby color, tea rims and minor legs on the bowl. Lively tannins, very playful and fun, topping gorgeous palate of young cherry, mint, dry strawberries, some pretty oak and very earthy overall tones. Very much in love with this, especially since the expectations were low — I got this bottle as a last minute grab at CDG Duty free. Yes and yes. — 10 years ago
Great with pizza and cherry pepper topping — 11 years ago
Jura feeling in Cali... Beauty!!! | Chardonnay aged for 2 years in non ouillée barrels (no topping) | From dry-farmed Chuy vineyard planted in the 70s | 2010 The Scholium Project Chuy Chard Nelligan Road Ranch — 11 years ago
It's the flagship wine of Rivetto family. Elegant and noble one. Smooth, velvet, quite friendly tannins, deep flavor, aroma reveals all kinds of berry tones with black cherry topping, it gives soft chocolate in a long aftertaste. It is so nice, but we can wait a couple of years, it will only get better.) — 11 years ago
If you order wine with your pie at Pizzeria Mozza, this is the one. Dark purple, but light in texture. Let it breathe until the pizza arrives, then enjoy how it amplifies any topping that the restaurant is serving. A knockout! — 11 years ago
So good! Taste like ice cream topping! — 12 years ago
