Lunch in Yountville for my wife’s birthday (decorum prevents discussing numbers, though I can’t even count that high!?!?) — decanted off the sediment, intense bacon fat and smoky notes, wine is in amazing condition, great on palate, really shows that rustic Cornas character, super long finish, really a spectacular Verset Cornas, cheers to Noel Verset!!! — 6 months ago

The nose is typical with cherry, Raspberry, hay, Cola, even... This is quite welcoming. The palate shows some matter and a great acid drive. There are cherry notes dancing all along the acid drive, some width and some nice, a tiny bit thicker than usual mouthfeel. Some lively tannins kick in in the rear before a fruity finish with some salty, meaty touches in the end. This is a beautiful Julienas and I'm glad I have another bottle to leave on the side for a while. — 3 years ago
9-Liter! So powerful, it’s fresh, slight apple caramel tart with a touch of cinnamon. Pear (just ripe) brioche. Beautiful structure, so long, palate just stunning. Exceptional, — 6 months ago
