Perfectly sound nose of aged, classic cab. Flavor is a little muted, might be the bottle but not as alive as a '77 Mondavi Reserve from June — 10 years ago

Um yeah... #BOOM status granted for this at the #yulwinethrowdown . 81 not the best of vintages and wines are reportedly past peak but this first growth was not. Very interesting flavour profile, certainly secondary characteristics but structurally still pretty sound. I was glad to find it still alive and in my opinion had many more years left before the big decline. Awesome privilege to have tasted. — 11 years ago

A black hole. Classic nose of cedar, currants and cigar box. Medium body in the mouth with dark fruit, minerals and a wall of tannin. The eternal question of who will win, fruit or tannin. — 11 years ago

Another orange white, this time made without the use of sulpher - sound familar? Classic wild acidity here with some rose petal and other floral components dominating the nose. Very perfumed with a copper-like minerality. Totally different than what most will be used to. — 11 years ago

My jam. Varietally sound with a little more depth of fruit. — 11 years ago

Taste semi dry, hints of minerals, grass and citrus fruit. Love it. — 11 years ago

Earth, spice, berries just jump out of the glass. Sound like Parker? If I do it's maybe due to the Martini I just finished, Gin of course and Blue Cheese stuffed Olives. Spice, cola and big fruit on taste with a great finish. On their mail list maybe should think about ordering some more. — 11 years ago

Bear claw (Aran's call!) in a glass with fried little fishes. What does that mean?? It smells like sweet bread with cake frosting and almonds with notes of briny fried fish skin. That may not sound good to some, but it's fucking worthy bubbly made from Prie Blanc. — 12 years ago
