Some fruity and interesting things on the nose. Flavors are very nice. Easy. Like taking money from a bad, drunken poker player, or taking a nap after a hearty meal of stew and warm bread. A go to French red. — 7 years ago
This is in such great shape. Violet, dark plum, underbrush. Very poker. Gorgeously in place. — 3 years ago
Photo from file. 2004 Vintage. The cork just disintegrated but somehow the wax top saved the wine. Poured it trough a stained into decanter and then was wine of the night at poker. Drink up but have a strainer and decanter ready. Perhaps an ah-so twin blade cork puller would have done better and will try that on future bottles of this. It trumped a 2012 Saxum Broken Stones. — 6 years ago
Poker Night bottle #2 — 5 years ago
Poker night with the guys. It’s not quite the same as the real thing, but it’s the best we got right now.
The musk of soil. A sort of fresh sea vitality.
Nice medium body, fresh carbonation. Complex notes of lemon rind, grapefruit, mint, and guava. I can’t decide if the rice vinegar kick at the end is good or eh. — 5 years ago

Like a stack of poker chips, layers stand symmetrical and equally distant of fruit, spice,, salinity, minerality, and soil, gorgeous blend that shows terroir through the cepage! — 12 days ago
