Lovely spicy Cab Franc aromas and flavors, soft tannins, drinking beautifully tonight, every time I’m lucky enough to drink a great Bordeaux growth I remember how profound these wines are, the 1985 in magnum was better, but this is super fine and very suave for an ‘86!! — 18 days ago

Clean, pretty, but quite tart Oregon Chardonnay, probably needs a little aging to tone down the tart acidity, good. — 20 days ago

9.2

Medium-dark purple color, dark fruits (cassis, dark berry) still pretty youthful with loads of tannic structure, this wine may last longer than me, from the early days when I understand this cuvée had press wine in it, I just wish my dear friend George was still here to share this with me!! — 11 days ago

Ripe, red-fruited Grenache, minerality, still shows some structure, but drinking very well tonight, the first Burle wines I’d bought since the 1989/1990 Gigondas which you were so fine!! — 16 days ago
