Much softer than the #leslarmes #cuvee with med intensity and a fragrant nose. The body was medium and shy with some green tannins poking out. Less fruit and more meaty, floral, and mineral notes. Med finish. #littorai #pinotnoir — 8 years ago

@RidgeVineyards '06 Santa Cruz Mtn. Estate #Cabernet blend --56% Cabernet, 42% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. Red currant, cardamom, vanilla and licorice and toasted oak. Velvety and Bordeaux-like. Sweet tannins. Needs at least an hour decant. This is a beauty! #RidgeVineyards #cuvee — 10 years ago

Fun nose but what a disappointment on the palate. The nose was full of everything one would expect from #coterotie from a light vintage. The palate was super austere and dried out with no fruit to round out a very tannic wine. The standard #cuvee 2008 #cluselroch I had at #elevanmadisonpark was so much better. — 9 years ago

Sous voile #cuvee Wonderfully complex nose full of a balance of fresh and oxidative notes. Christmas in a glass. The palate left a lot to be desired. The structure and vibrancy were light and the length was very short. #jura #francoisroussetmartin #voile — 9 years ago
