Black and blue berries, earth, tobacco. Layered beautifully. Power and elegance in harmonious balance! Has so much more to go! Wish I saved this opening for about 10-12 more years! Makes me fall back in love with CA Cabs!!! — 7 years ago
Brambly red berry fruits. High acid and untamed, a wild expression of #pinotnoir #nzwine — 7 years ago
I can't name any other white wine producer anywhere in the world that would top @Jean-Marc Roulot for me right now. This wine is so elegant, so finessed, it's waltzing on the palate. Sensual, confident and mysterious at times — I couldn't wish for more. — 8 years ago
Very tight at first, after an hour or so the nose began to burst with citrus flower, baking spices, Pineapple, and vanilla bean. Very soft and subtle on the palate with orange zest, and apple pie spice. After four hours this baby ended up being one of the best of the night(in a powerful line-up)

A very good beer that is extremely floral, appropriately. — 7 years ago
2010 vintage. Medium golden hue. On the nose, deep concentration of aromas. Waxy, canned apricots, white pepper, white flower, cream and hazelnut. On the palate, medium minus acidity, medium plus alcohol, full body and concentration. Longish finish. Very good. Would probably wait another 2+ years to reach another level. Drink now until 2022+. NB: serve chilled, as becomes fat as gets to room temperature. — 7 years ago
The wine of tonight is Conn Valley from Anderson's Vineyards 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon estate reserve!!! Ka Pow! The color is opaque and the legs are thick, slow, and dark! The bouquet is fresh berry pie. My palate aeration of this wine is very smooth with no harsh alcohol nose burn - its my own thing I learned from Maximilian Riedel. The initial palate is raspberry and a huge spice attack. There is oak in the long finish with a buttery chocolate smoothness that quickly turns into a dry finish leaving you thirsty for more!!!!! I love it. This is almost to good to drink with food, but a big thick ribeye would explode with flavor following this one. I just wish it were cheaper. — 8 years ago
Thanks to a good cork, still alive, with a super bouquet, although a bit faded in the mouth. Wish I was in as good shape! — 9 years ago

Holy tannins Batman! Grip, strength and depth. Bacon that is cut through with razor sharp tannins. This wine definitely has not peaked at all. Wish I had a couple more bottles. — 6 years ago
