That feeling you get when you open a wine that is in just the right spot…

From our perspective, that is where this Bernard Dugat-Py is at right in this very moment. It has a beautiful balance of fresh black cherry, red currant, kirsch, violet, hibiscus tea, and anise next to clove, cardamom, forest floor, peat moss, fig paste, and mushroom notes.

The palate is singing with bright acidity balanced by the expressive aromas and flavors, medium, fine-grained tannins, and medium alcohol (13% ABV). It has a lingering finish. What a beautiful wine!

It is the 2010 Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin “Cuvée Coeur de Roy” Très Vieilles Vignes, coming from very old, organically-farmed, and low-yielding vines, adding to the concentration of aromas and flavors. It comes from the village of Gevrey-Chambertin in the Côte de Nuits. — 10 days ago

3.0. Dark purple Bordeaux, up-front fruitiness but a bit flat on the palette, with pretty smooth finish. On sale for $9.99!, regularly $12.99. — 5 months ago

Took a bit of a gamble given the rep for being very long lived. Opened t-8 hours and decanted 3+ hours. Still quite closed. You can get a sense of the depth of the fruit on the nose but overall it is veiled. The tannins are serious. Would never have guessed Beaujolais- one to let rest for many years. — a month ago

100% Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark red/purple color. Beautiful aromas of black cherry/currant, black tea and leather. Fruit forward palate features black cherry, blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate, black licorice and Asian spices. Perfect touch of smoky vanilla and minerals on the long and lingering finish. Powerful, complex and rich, but in perfect harmony. Nicely integrated tannins and beautifully structured. Thank you Petey P. for sharing this incredible bottle. — 4 months ago

Lovely nose of brambly red fruits, red berries, huge minerals, cranberry bog and strawberry. Really lovely nose that is very layered and ethereal. Terrific power and depth while remaining elegant and classy. Chewy and ripe tannins that are barely sweet and so much energy and length. Big cherry and berry fruit on the palate slathered in minerality. — 5 months ago
