First vintage of this wine, finished with a German-made glass closure, rich and complex, dark fruits, really fantastic Sierra foothills (2,900 feet elevation) Syrah, long, lingering finish, and, 14.9% ABV, yet not hot?!?! — 19 days ago

So on opening it was weird, kind of funky, not a lot of flavor. Put cork back in and sat in fridge for 3 days, pulled out and let warm up. Tasting great and classic gamay! Cherry, a bit of earth, some strawberry, good balance and some tannin. Would let this vintage rest in bottle for longer, maybe end of summer bbq. — 19 days ago

The label was in absolute tatters but all other signs appeared to be good with this bottle. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 1990 Grand Année Rosé pours a deep coral color with very little mousse that dissipates in the glass quickly. On the nose, this was funky initially so we tossed it in the decanter which freshened it up. After 30min, it was positively singing! Desiccated strawberry, crème brûlée, pink flowers, and fino sherry. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. This showed remarkable power which was so impressive. I can’t say I’ve ever had a Rosé with quite this amount of age but boy did it ever work. If anyone has any of these laying around; I might suggest giving it a splash in the decanter for 30min first. Drink now. — 2 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2022 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart orchard fruit: passion fruit, lemon, sea spray, white flowers, lanolin and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with a wooly texture and lovely minerals. Drinking now through 2037. — a month ago

Excellent with our Spaghetti Bolognese. Some of it is in the sauce as well. Ruby red with aromas of dark cherry, plum, blueberry, and a spice aroma. On the bud, smooth with a nice long finish. — a month ago
