Classic Chenin nose with pear, quince and lemon fruit. It has a pretty hint of hazelnut and flowers to add complexity. Round with quince and tangerine fruit tones that quickly turn to high toned mineral and floral flavors. This has a zesty, mineral driven back end. — 9 years ago

So beautiful, dark earthy notes, cigar box, smoke, turn forest floor, dark mature plums, Christmas spices. Open beautifully after 23 years. — 10 years ago

Superb. Powerful nose of cassis on a (finally, as these '07s turn) smooth and velvety frame of tobacco, black fruit and licorice. Every time I drink these beautys I wonder how I can justify paying 3x for the Pritchard Hills.... — 10 years ago

A near perfect rosé at a great price. I prefer this soft fruit tempered by a light floral note all properly and proportionately positioned against a mineral intensive rocky bottom as swift waters twist and turn their way downstream leaving one's palate clean and refreshed but laced with the memory of the moment😎🌀 - buy the magnum at my favorite local Morehead City, NC hang - Promise Land Market (thx sweet Janeen and Daniel for spinning some crazy sweet tunage!)! Find this place in all its realness, and drink this wine! — 11 years ago

Just as magnificent from bottle as it was in barrel, the 2013 Napanook is dense, powerful and brooding, with searing intensity and extraordinary balance. Lavender, plums, violets, licorice and smoke are some of the signatures, but the 2013 exudes finesse, power and intensity. Bracing and searing, the 2013 is going to require quite a bit of patience. If anything, this is an insane level of quality for the second selection. The 2013 could turn out to be a thirty-year wine. It is every bit that magnificent, especially if given some aeration.

This is a wine you can always rely on because it's consistently great each vintage. Save your Baudry bottles; I believe this has aging capabilities that will turn this excellent bottle into something even better down the road. Patience. — 10 years ago

Man, I love this wine. My 2nd time having the 2004, and it's just stellar. I wrote down cinnamon and sweet/pastry/tart (in a very good way)...and went to look at my old review, which said cinnamon and key lime. Well damn, how's that for consistency! — 10 years ago

9.1

Preparing to turn 40. That, at least, is the excuse. Usual DP style. Very dry with long finish. Somewhat tight though. Probably needs 3-5 years minimum and score could go up. Paired perfectly with smoked oysters. — 11 years ago
