Misty, in yo' face raspberry jam, leather and barnyard campfire of lavender/rose cuttings. Many, many years left on this one. — 8 years ago

Pleasure to drink. Wish it wasn't so expensive. For a 16 yo drop, this was showing good energy. Reductive when open, then it was all that soy and mushroom on the nose, some delicate fruit - almost somewhat ripe - on the palate. Solid finish, with a still present acid. Can't say I could taste the Vosne terrior though, perhaps a result of age. — 8 years ago

This the third time I've had this in the last year and it shows beautifully right out of the gate. The wood and fruit are so interestingly and well melded at this point. Oak moves to cedar on the palate. Definite alcohol lift in the nose still and you can feel it the nostrils but not obtrusive...indeed it's actually a promising hint of what's to come on the palate. Dried cherry and stone fruit tastes on right away. Slightly mentholated. Definitely picking up distinct vanilla undertones on the nose and palate but not over the top. Satisfying medium tannins. Soft mouth feel but with really good/balanced structure. Perfect finish in line with what preceded it. Just a great fucking wine. And for the price? Getcha some! Can't believe this is still just around and available (not telling where!). Not for those who don't want wood in their wine but even here what you think will finish moderately chalky moves to soft-ish tannins at the perfect time. So many riojas are over top in the wood category or just so out of balance one way or the other. Everyone has heard of Rioja but have you really had a good one? Here's your chance without breaking the bank. I'd put this one up against the best or at least those considered the best. Maybe lacking a LITTLE finesse to be world class but damn close (can you use the word finesse with Rioja??). Drank in gulps with parmesan dusted NY style mushroom meatball mozzarella pizza from Peppino's in Athens, GA while watching Parenthood with my 17 YO daughter (who also pronounced the wine delicious). What a Tuesday night...thank you sir may I have another. Anyone really disappointed with this wine has WAY more money than me and is a spoiled brat. Geek out. — 10 years ago

Feel like funky is too easy of a word for this wine, but it works. Funky/stinky nose, earthly funk and big red fruits on the palate. Definitely got my attention. Fun wine. And biodynamic too. — 7 years ago

Yo G. Apparently the name was inspired by the Big Lebowski, which is a great movie, and the wine is really good in its own right. Condolences on Indians but they had an awesome run. Hope allis well with Gibbs clan — 9 years ago

2nd time after 3 years of waiting - decanted two hours - I am not Rocky but if I was I would say "Yo Adrian" this is great - Give this wine a little time in the decanter and I promise you will have Smiles - a bit of breathing softens it and it is damn good- rich black fruit - great smell - it is ready to drink now and improved from three years ago - so if you got it - drink it now and promise you will smile — 9 years ago
