2013. Valerie and I really liked this. Smooth, tasty, jammy. But the second time we didn't like it as much. Then the third bottle seemed good again. Our uncertainty with this wine made me be reduce it from 9.3 to 8.8. — 8 years ago

Lovely. Tropical fruit, honey suckle, pear with just enough off setting minerals. Almonds and fennel. Mouth coating and high viscosity. Long finish. High geek factor, perfect for Valerie. — 9 years ago

2014. Valerie and I had this at The Restaurant at Convict Lake. Really liked it with out ribeye. It opened up nicely, bold; not a guest wine. Only $36 at the restaurant. — 8 years ago

Worthy of its reputation. Truly perfect. Even @Valerie O'Shea and@Nancy Dwight might switch from burgundy. — 8 years ago

2013. Valerie and I had it with spicy chicken and squash. Noticeably dry. Bought two at Bevmo! probably with 5¢ sale. (2014 is no good.) — 8 years ago

I did not know about Baba au Rhum until Valerie corrupted me. They left the bottle on the table and she poured more rum into the cake. — 9 years ago

2013. Bought at Whole Foods. Valerie and I drank at Matt's birthday party at Peggy's and Matt's house. UPDATE 9/2016. Needs to breathe then gets better. Not as memorable this time. — 8 years ago

A cornucopia of tropical and white fruits on the nose and palate. Great viscosity in the glass and in the mouth. Long, long finish. A wonderful wine complementing roast chicken on the BGE. @Valerie O'Shea was a happy girl. — 8 years ago

Bacchus Valerie. What a treat! Complex farmhouse mix aged in oak, apparently with grapefruit. Really much more sour than a typical farmhouse. Grapefruit is strong on the smell, but first taste is almost sauerkraut. This is awesome — 9 years ago
