1992; Dark red; nose of intense blueberry w/ menthol and cedar; ripe cassis and BlackBerry fruit attack w/ bit of sweet tobacco and white pepper, perfect structure and balance, bright and lush at the same time; much better than its tight youth. — 11 years ago

Showed lots of youth and vigor, but also the lovely burnish of age. — 12 years ago

Brian Zhang

9.1

Power followed by grace. Slightly hot showing youth. Raspberry and granite. Certainly classy, but worth the price of admission? — 11 years ago

Nicholas Livingston

9.2

Good grief! Even in its youth this was remarkably balanced with woodsy fruit for forest and a resinous fragrance. Camphorous Barolo with plenty of flex and play. — 11 years ago

2008 Gonon was a favorite upon release. After a few years, the secondary notes of earth are starting to take over the pure lift that it initially had in youth. Still an incredible wine, but fading just a touch at the moment. — 12 years ago
