Good second wine from Nenin. Bold blackberry and graphite notes, a little leather and brown spice. There are also earthy undertones. Very pleased with this one. — 8 years ago

Awesome Chard. Balanced, complex, much more Burgundian in style than some Napa/Sonoma counterparts. Much more light pineapple, green apple skin on this one. — 9 years ago

Stewed plums, dried dark fruits with some dried cranberry. This is a great Roy. Less perfumed than the 2006 and more lushy than the 2009. Excellent wine. — 9 years ago

This has really evolved into an awesome wine. Nice warm berry notes, some farmyard but it blows off quickly, it opens up to a nice medium to full wine. Excellent drinking window. — 9 years ago
