Vintage 2000 / old orang gold colour. Granny smith smell, brioche, very vital and energetic. A treat. #champagne — 7 years ago
Vintage 1990 - yellow golden colour, very vital. Beautiful smell with quince dominant, also impressions of honey, ananas, Turkish Fruit, hay, quite complex. This #cheninblanc is mouthfilling with (now at the age of 28 years) dominant bitters with a toffee-alike aftertaste. #Vouvray that delivers! Actually, I was surprised/shocked to find this bottle in the cellar corner. I do not keep my demi-sec thát long. Beautiful starter of saturdaynight diner with wild boar paté. #loirewine — 7 years ago

Grabbed another bottle! Wine bears the vineyard named to honor the Red-shouldered Hawks and other birds of prey that play a vital role in sustainable farming practices. Bright yellow with aromas of tropical fruits and sweet floral scents. Aged for 14 months, 75% in new French oak and 25% in stainless. On the palate melon, pineapple and peach flavors and hints of citrus, subtle yet complex and well balanced. Lingering finish, savory, ending with mineral tones and toasty oak. Outstanding! — 7 years ago
This is drinking really well. A lovely nose with kirsch, a herby sage thing and meaty, lively red fruit. On the palate young and vital. Lovely bright definition- vivid and powerful. Heat in check. It's young but much better balanced than a lot of 07's with great Pegau funk. Excellent and a good way ahead — 8 years ago
Chamomile, poached pear, acacia, pain grillé, mushroom tea, quatre épices, baked bones. On the downslope, but still quite vital, as all the oxidative elements are still in tension and balance. The Martin brothers rank with Corsin, Janin and Cornin as the very best growers in the Maconnais. — 6 years ago
These three were bright, vital and loaded with life. Served blind to a table of 11, the closest guess of their vintages was ‘13-‘15. They have such a long life ahead - 2004, 2005, 2006. — 6 years ago
Easy drinking gem. — 7 years ago
From Magnum this was stunning Mountain Cabernet!! Dark with little color change- complex and full dark fruit flavor and a very long finish. Perhaps the best Cab I have tasted in more than a year. 42 years and still young and vital. Have a few more and will share them with friends...🍷🍷🍷 — 8 years ago
