Bright red fruit flavors with lush tannin. This wine can enjoyed on its own, with friends, on a sunny day. Or with rich duck confit and bbq'd red meats. Can't beat the price. -wine batman — 9 years ago

Mouton Vertical dinner. This was one of the best 86 Moutons that I have tried and certainly worthy of its Perfect rating. Deep dark color with its soaring nose of red and black fruits, sweet cassis and Asian spice, cedar, mint and vanilla, a monster of a wine but tonight very complex and aromatic, almost sexy showing great intensity on the palate. — 10 years ago

I love this red wine. To me, it goes well with maybe chili or taco salad. — 13 years ago
Black cherry pits, grape concentrate, cola, eucalyptus, graphite, bay leaf, tobacco, tar, tarragon, cedar. Excellent acid/smooth velvet tannin balance, juicy/silky texture, deceptively full bodied, long smoky/herbal slightly peppery finish. Decanting strongly recommended, texture and nose developed beautifully after 1 1/2 hours. — 9 years ago

Still a young monster! Decanted for 3 hours, and still could have handled more. Nice fruit wrapped in spice and leather. Big tannins, but perfect with a steak. Great acidity. — 12 years ago

Huge. Phelps Insignia doesn't hit the ethereal heights of the best '70s Eisele's for me, but I find it more consistent. This '77 is a monster but still classic. — 10 years ago
Big, big pinot. Monster fruit, good acidity, medium finish. Doesn't get much better in my world. — 10 years ago
