I really don't rate wines, but this was special so I just slid the thingy up into the 9s. A bit richer and polished than Sancerre I'm accustomed to. Excellent. — 9 years ago

At home w grilled steak salad - a weeknight. Bought this at release many moons ago, this is the old Copain Syrah 14.6 alcohol, but at this age and integration the whole cluster takes this to an interesting place for me. — 10 years ago

Local for us fortunately. The pickled elements always make me think white wines - even for beef dishes.

Better than I expected. BYO's this at Roux, Seattle. Still alive on night 2 which I think is saying something for a 20 year old St Joseph. — 10 years ago
