Very lightly ruby colored; great nose of dark fruit, fudge, coffee, liquorice; balanced and long in mouth with a treasure-trove of interesting aromas. Had with the Voksepp's with cheese-platter. Great! — 9 years ago

Purchased this 2008 Owen Roe Syrah about 7 years ago from Atlantic Wine, a sort of innocuous wine merchant in North Buckhead Atlanta. I do remember it shared a building with an upscale outdoors outfitter (Yeti, Patagonia, North Face, etc...) along with a large Goodwill Store/Donation Center. I always kick myself for not going in that Goodwill, and imagine it was an treasure trove of never used luxury camping gear. Instead, I opted for whatever mix of First Growth Bordeaux was in stock at Atlantic, which inevitably left me a bottle short of a 10% discount, thus resulting in this purchase, and later to be stashed away in the back and bottom of the cellar. I had completely forgot about this ghost bottle until tonight. Despite the wax seal, I still was slightly concerned that it might be past its prime, so I pulled the cork... An exotic, but pure cacao that’s pleasantly unforgiving, and cautiously allows in some lush blueberry compote, along with finocchiona rolled in fresh cracked pepper with thyme, tarragon, and lavender. Could certainly last another 5-7 years, but it’s too stunningly beautiful now to resist. — 8 years ago
A little late night game changer! A lost pearl in the faraway treasure trove of forgotten beauties in Oz! Thanks #IPOB for another epic tasting of fascinating wines and melange of great personalities! Need to round it out with the old school sucker punch; Verset! — 10 years ago
My first Cabernet Sauvignon from Morlet Family Vinyards—I've only been lucky enough to taste and have been dazzled by their sublime Chardonnays. That said, the 2010 Mon Chevalier didn't disappoint, displaying classic Knight's Valley character, it's a treasure trove of cassis, black currants, incense and sandalwood, tar and menthol. Black pepper and spice box. The palate is a layered as the nose, with a dark-fruited succulent core framed in an understory of fine, mouthcoating tannins. 15.0% ABV — 8 years ago
Loving my trove of assorted 98s. Still so fresh, crunchy and lively. Savory cedar. Gorgeous for an improvised Monday steak night. — 8 years ago
Rich, oxidative, lively, lovely, intense orange zest, butterscotch. Mineral. I love Molyvos. A few years ago they switched their list to 100% Greek wines. A treasure trove. — 9 years ago

I was totally surprised with the complexity and depth of this wine, at such a reasonable price point. It's a treasure trove of vanilla and dark berries. As it opens up, there are pleasurable layers of cocoa and tobacco. I'll be picking up a few more bottles. — 7 years ago
