OK, match made in heaven -- my wife's homemade chocolate pate (RICH) and 2007 Dr. Parce Banyuls "La Coume" in split -- not as memorable on the wine side as the VV bottling, but chocolate pate is great as always (raspberry sauce on top). — 11 years ago

Perfect for a Bourgogne, serious yum factor and gulpability. I wrote in VV since this is a VV but was not labeled as such. — 11 years ago

Vinho Verde Cru! About as good as it gets for me from VV #Portugal, Aromas and flavors of lemons, straw, orange blossom, minerality with clean and ample acidity. # — 11 years ago

Great purity, just a bit taut right now. Should resolve nicely. There are some deep, leafy, earthy aromatics. Oak is judged well. This has nice freshness to it. Definitely on the rustic side. Jenna thinks it's "dirty and dusty like licking the floor of a primitive structure." It is very hot to her as well, both nasally and to drink. The wine Polaner calls blood orange on this bottling and Camus' other VV Savigny bottling. He is completely right we both agree. 85 year old vines. A solid value for the cellar. Jenna says the quality of this is like unfiltered Honest Tea to clean and bright Steaz. This is a touch more muddled at the moment with a bit of bitterness but I am confident this will clarify and integrate nicely with time. Old school for purists. Jenna says it's "minty and herbal, fennel or anise." Definitely anise/fennel. Some balsamicky older barrel aromas and also nuttier newer oak aromas, too. Good balance. This really does have some soil aromas to it. A touch hot (alcohol) right but I imagine it will cool down with some time in bottle. — 12 years ago
