Apricots, honey and a touch of citrus. — 5 years ago
Light yellow-gold. Fresh orchard and pit fruits on the deeply scented nose, with notes of musky rhubarb and smoky minerals emerging with air. Deeply pitched poached pear and nectarine flavors show impressive power and are lifted by notes of chalk and ginger. Packs a serious punch but manages to come off as elegant. Finishes very long, with a strong jolt of minerality and slow-building leesiness. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2013) — 7 years ago
Estate had prior succession problems & split into 2 with original Clos L'Eglise (Rouchut family) on one side and Clos L'Eglise-Clinet (Mauléon family)on the other. Clos L'Eglise has a wine-producing tradition spread over several centuries. A blend of 80% Merlot & 20% Cab Franc, 100% new oak, wonderful warm aromas of fruit & spice. Cherry & Strawberry flavors, with notes of cinnamon & nice energetic mouthfeel. Firm tight tannins that are beginning to open but should continue to age well. Put on Must Try list — 7 years ago

Winery located in Alba, the Piedmont region was founded by its namesake in 1881. Great Grandson, Pio Boffa, continues the tradition of innovative wine making. Ruby with dried red fruit aromas and herb floral scents. On the palate sour cherry & raspberry, cinnamon, toasty nuts, licorice and herb notes. Full soft tannins bring fruit to lingering finish ending with earthy mineral. Wonderful! — 5 years ago
Throughly enjoyable Cabernet from Napa Valley. Their website states that this is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Truly impressive if that is the case for the 2010 vintage. Deep, dark fruit...almost like dried plum with hints of stewed blackberry. Strong tannic backbone with slight acidity. This is drinking really well right now but could go another 2-3 years. Really opened up after about 30 mins. — 6 years ago
Use a big glass. Incredibly aromatic. So tropical - more expressive on the honeysuckle / pineapple side of things. Actually less mineral / acid than I prefer but this is quite good. — 7 years ago

Very nice example of Sancerre. Well worth it; from Chez Foushee. — 5 years ago
Bright lemon zest, golden apple, pineapple, with secondary shortbread and guava fruit notes. Fruit forward with hints of toast and yeast. Palate hits with soft tropical citrus and orchard fruit, developing into a round mid-palate and driving acidity to finish. Length is above par and evolves. Minerality tingles on the palate. Excellent QPR from #winetext. Happy New Year!! — 6 years ago
