Starts out exotic then the backbone kicks in then the ripeness of the vintage fleshes it out and weighs it down a touch. After open for a bit seems the more vivid exotic spicy bits faded back a bit under its own weight but still really nice. — 8 years ago
Gifted to me by one of the folks who made it. quite nice freshness and just enough of the animal side to satisfy. It gets a but trippier and heavier on the finish but I’m going to enjoy it with some pulled pork in a moment, and it was free :) — 6 years ago
Really special delicious turkey cooking treat John and I picked up at a visit to the domaine racing through France a few years ago. Lovely, deep, satisfying and taut. @delectable cuvée #738 — 7 years ago
Kept this in the cellar forever was afraid it’d be over the hill but no still really fresh savory pretty and evolving in the glass emerging then closing up then emerging again. Cool to check in on it after so many years. @delectable this is the Hirsch vineyard not ferrington. — 7 years ago

Pretty and savory also a bit of lacto funk which doesn’t wander too far into the farmyard for my taste though I’m sure I’d like it better if it were better settled before bottling. Refreshing with some killer Oaxacan mole — 5 years ago
