12/25 wine was nicely resolved after 15 years. Big, rich, dark wine. 89 — 7 months ago
Light gold with a hint of green; explosive nose initially flinty and smoky that then speaks of Puligny; rich, silky, round palate with ripe pit fruit and almost tropical notes with fine balancing acidity and finally a hint of oak. Impressive. — 2 years ago
Stunning. Everything tied together beautifully after a couple of years in bottle. Delicious stuff!! — 4 years ago
Exceptional chardonnay with the latent power of a GC burgundy, but with salinity and tannic grip. Beautiful nose with reductive gunsmoke, apple, and baking spices. The structure is the perfect fit for the intense and powerful flavour bomb: lemon merengue pie, smoke, tangerine, all in perfect balance. The concentration and length are world class. As long as I can remember of ANY wine I have tasted. World class for A$90 — 4 months ago

Wonderful Long Island Bordeaux-style red blend from a winery that no longer exists. Blend of Cabernet Franc (50%), Malbec (25%) and Petite Verdot (25%). Dark ruby/purple color with just a bit of fade on the rim. Aromas of black/blue fruit, granite dust and intense lavender. Flavors of black cherry/currant fruit, blueberries, leafy herbs with a mineral backbone from start to the end of the very long finish. Touch of a pleasant phenollic funk. Medium bodied and well balanced. Silky tannins and quite complex. This bottle aged nicely. I miss visiting the “tasting shed” at this winery. — 4 months ago

Cab Francs from Long Island are always special - but this one is simply amazing! Smooth on palette with a satisfying finish. Buy a second bottle! — a month ago
