It's been years since I've had this. 06 is singing right now- Dried plum, tobacco, tarragon, a touch of dried mushroom/stinky earth/old leather boot. This is such a distinctive Napa Red, and highly enjoyable. — 7 years ago
Ripe juicy red fruit laced with mulling spice, dried orange peel, and a slight leafy note. Silky smooth and persistent. — 8 years ago
By far best Chilean Chard I’ve had. Clean, salty, linear, correct, with a touch of lusciousness...impressive. — 7 years ago
Dank and slightly sanguine but with chocolate covered wilted raspberry, leather, and balsamic. Lovely! — 7 years ago
This is what I want in a Cabernet. Power (but with finesse), elegance (but with structure), ripeness (but with true varietal character), and a little bottle age for it all to come together. Enjoying this at the winery- Salud! 🇨🇱 — 7 years ago
My first time with the Fleurie, man was it singing. Macerated red fruits with gentian and camphor notes, more than a touch of Brett (but not overwhelming). It's hard to beat Cote du Py Morgon as one of my favorite wine, but I may like this even a touch better. — 8 years ago

Oh ‘13, why you gotta be so botrytis-y. (Yes, late rains, sadly). Under the gingery chamomile stuff, it’s solid Bougros. And not nearly as noble rotten as some. — 6 years ago
