Drinking great. A delicious Barolo. Ripe but firm structure with acidity and . finely grained tannins. — 5 months ago

Needed an hour to open up. I really enjoyed this wine. Very well balanced. Finely grained tannins that after an hour softened. Not sure if it was the vintage, the bottle or something else but it had a pronounced lavender or even curry aroma. It made for a very interesting wine. — 6 months ago

Love it. One of the most interesting Grenache I’ve had. A rich strawberry, guava core with a lingering cigar ashtray finish. Very well balanced. — 3 months ago

Cork fell apart into little pieces trying to open it, and the initial whiff was a very unpleasant barnyard. I was skeptical, but the wine soon became a gem. Ticks off the BLIC with ease. Would give it higher than 9.4 but the Brett was a little bit of a distraction. — 6 months ago

Terrific wine in its own right but certainly a great QPR. Dark cherry core, black currant leaf, forest floor, toasted wood with intensity and a long finish. High but refined tannins that are perfectly balanced with high acidity and a bright fruity core. — 5 months ago

2012 vintage. Silky and layered with a lot of secondary and tertiary notes that make for a complex and long finishing wine. .. dark cherry, dark plum , chocolate, espresso, toasted wood, white pepper, dried flowers. My first experience with Armand Rousseau. Would have liked a little more acidity or firmer tannin to provide more structure. Perhaps an extra warm year at the site. — 6 months ago
