Every vintage I’ve had has been spectacular. The cork looked 2 years old. The wine was still tart and the tannins had softened and smoothed out. We had this elk and that paring worked very well. A delight in every way. — 4 years ago

Sheer delight. The nose is hibiscus and ruby red grapefruit. The mouth is a complex and grippy adventure with grapefruit, red papaya, lychee. This is not a NZ Sauvignon by any means, despite those notes, it's a serious thinking wine to sip for days with or without food. — 9 years ago

Yes yes yes.

This has lots of wonderful flavors: it's crisp and refreshing, with asian-pear notes and even a hint of smoke on the finish. Very complex and delicious.

We drank it for a toast — much to everyone's delight. We also paired it with a gnocchi and Brussel sprout dish, full of parmesan and lemon. This is a wonderful food-friendly wine. Don't limit your enjoyment of this to toasts: make a whole meal around it! — 3 years ago

A true delight, with strong tastes of peach, nectarine and apricot. Definitely on the sweeter side, but is definitely a dinner wine. It paired nicely with seafood. — 8 years ago

The 2012 ‘Laurene’ Pinot Noir by the talented Veronique Drouhin is a stunning effort at now seven years of age. Very pretty red rose petals aromas connect with shades of peat moss, white truffle shavings and black fruits, with smoky undertones that round out this fantastic nose. The palate has an incredible combination of freshness and richness, with gobs of minerality. The balance imparted is gorgeous, as vibrant minerals collide with ripe red cherry, guava, teaberry and cran-pomegranate flavors. While a delight to enjoy now, this is only starting to come of age.

Second red in flight two for the Bordeaux Master's Class at Heart's Delight with all wines from Pessac-Léognan.

Deep and dark ruby red. Layered nose with tobacco, red cherries and some floral characteristics. Well integrated medium tannins (6.5/10) for being so young and medium plus body. Dark palate with spices, black currants, dark cocoa, bark and leather. Long and dry finish. Drink till 2032. — 9 years ago
