Held up well over the last 28 years! Took a gamble on some birthday wine and it payed off well. Prominent bricking and the cork obviously fell apart, but the wine maintained the rustic, leathery notes of age, with hints of black tea, overripe plum, and some lingering acidic energy, like a ripe strawberry with some dark chocolate. Medium bodied, with some leathery, smoky ash over the dark cherry like fruit, there’s notes of cranberry and strawberry compote still alive in here. The finish lingers for a while, fresh, but not acidic with tannins that only really started to show after a few hours of opening. Grippy, but well integrated. If the measure of a great wine is in its ability to last, this wine has earned the title despite poor storage conditions and lack of faith from its sellers. — 19 days ago

The Smokey caramel and vanilla from the Pappy Van Winkle barrels blends fluidly with a fruit bouquet and massive red and black berry bringing together a full bodied Grenache that is in a class of its own. — 3 years ago

Nose is quite dense. Blind I might guess California.

Big fruit for a Chablis. Tropical. Minerality is an after thought. Very delicious.

Poor typicity. Delicious . — 4 years ago

Brilliant. Especially with home made beef wellington. Never had a poor bottle from this producer. — 2 months ago

Golden yellow color, from a very poor stoney soil vineyard. Lemon and biscuits on the nose. It has very good balance between roundness and precision accompanied by sizzling acidity. — 4 years ago

The vintage was poor, producer is superb. Reflection and introspection leads me to regret. If you’re on a tight budget, don’t go here. In my opinion, the vintage presents too many fault lines to be addressed. — 2 months ago

Excellent young natural with mild fermented strawberry and light tobacco notes. We’ll rounded earth and fruit makes for a real treat. — 4 years ago

Delicious and spot on for summer patio lunch (grilled shrimp and creamy grits etc)…great volumous mouthful and generous stone fruit (peach) with just enough acid verve. Quaffable :) 13$ — 4 years ago
