Wow.. Shocking how good these wines can be when they are on. Wonderful nose of dark fruit, old glove leather and graphite. This was still kicking after 3hrs and shows how strong the vintage was to keep going so strong after 50+ years. — 8 years ago

Very young but lovely fresh apricots, peaches and pineapple. Honeysuckle and white flowers. What really makes this wine amazing though is the body. It's big and round the whole way through where so many Sauternes fall either in the middle or finish. Lovely. — 10 years ago

You almost need a sixties sound track when sipping. Nice, earthy smell and taste, like Woodstock. — 10 years ago

Neck fill and cork tight and sweet sounding when you pull it. You almost can tell if a bottle will be good by how the cork comes out. Juicy still with dark cranberry notes, pure of fruit and melted tannins and acid backbone. Love it as not sure how these 75's would have aged. — 10 years ago

Young Bonneau du Martray; just linear, oak though a big presence is layered, nose awfully restrained and fruit basically hidden until it evolves some more; try in a decade maybe two; so slight but so tight; acid tucked behind the wood too; an evolution to happen; great Corton; an even better site when I drove past this vineyard in May this year; #drinkFrance #drinkburgundy #côtedor #cortoncharlemagne #corton #bonneaudumartray #grandcru #domaine #2009 #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #France2016 — 10 years ago

Because when poolside on a rooftop over a beach in Mexico, just go for the familiar classic and be that guy. — 11 years ago

Read bad reviews of this wine when it was new. It has matured nicely in 2017. Nice smooth, big red. Tannins are way in the background and don’t make my teeth feel furry. — 8 years ago

This wine needed about 3 hours to release. Initially tight with uncomfortable medicinal nose which then totally dissipated. Drinking now next day and you get the age of fully integrated but not fading tannins. Nose has a delightful dark fruit and smokiness. Great fit of nose and taste, meaning - when tastes after smelling the experience is consistent and not jolting. I think the color purple in a subdued way. Very nice. Memo to self: decant and watch for sediment, and enjoy three hours later. — 9 years ago

Exceptionally wonderful to drink. Went perfect with the dry aged Liberty farms duck breast at Solage in Calistoga. A very fruity smelling drink that blends the best of coastal Pinot grapes. I would want a faucet installed in my house with this stuff coming out of it when I'm thirsty. — 10 years ago

A great wine when you analyze it. Integrated tannins, lush body, fruity, fully rounded, and velvety finish. — 10 years ago

The essence of ripe cherries and strawberries invade every nook and cranny of this wine. Extremely silky and smooth in the mouth which produces a finish that reminded me of the horizon when you are looking out from the deck of a boat, just does not quit. — 11 years ago

When the kid's a mess, bring in the closer. Still wound up, but everything you want from Morgon. Beautiful, bright, and alive. (Sans Soufre 'N' bottling) — 11 years ago

Great wine! Took about 45 min to open up but when it did... Wow! So amazed with still having black fruit flavors behind the cigar and moroccan leather! — 12 years ago

Good body, mouthfeel, complexity, all around awesome new world example. A touch high on alcohol when the glass warms up but major winner in my book. — 10 years ago

Well damn...when your parents pull out a bottle of champagne you'd NEVER expect them to have! This was immediately distinct...super smooth, sweeter than I'd expect but dry finish...no bite. Damn good! — 10 years ago

One of my favorites. I always keep a bottle on hand for when I am invited to a dinner party. — 10 years ago

It is my first day on this app, so I decided to rate this old bottle of wine I had two years ago with Florence. As it is profiled, 1949 is a great vintage and this particular bottle proved it is quite right, even though the bottle had a below shoulder fill. Brownish red color, silky, perfectly balanced, great long finish. Also, since 1949 is the year when People's Republic of China was founded, it added some emotional thing to the taste as well😋 — 10 years ago

An incredible complex layered Bordeaux blend, is better now than when I first experience it out of barrel. @winewatch @cheapwinefinder #WINE @Sassodoro @sociallybrenda @larrywyn — 11 years ago
