Aged in glass carboys, Le Cigare Volant Réserve is as fresh as a just-picked daisy. The nose full of ripe red fruit shows a touch of spice, while the palate seems even more youthful and exuberant. That’s something I might expect in a wine produced just last fall, but this one was made five years ago. Cherries, raspberry and blueberry cover the fruity side, while leather, spice and earth handle the savory lifting. It is an amazing wine, one of my favorites for the four vintages it has been produced

Alluring dusty red nose, hint at menthol. Complex fresh berry compote, energetic long palate. MGSC blend. Lesson in the power of glass aging. @bonnydoonvineyard Cigare Volant Réserve 2011 still young and full of promise

Very interesting. These have another gear compared to the normale. Who would think that aging in 5 gal glass carboys could give you this level of elegance?

Bright flavor and soft yet present tannin structure. Tasty wine but not right for the meal.
