Dark ruby, semi-transparent, dusty cherries in turned Earth, bramble, pepper, flowery violets and exotic spices. Med bodied, impressive balance & bearing - this was regal, an aging Aristocrat that has seen the best days recently slipped by. Still w/reservoir of fruit juxtaposed w/secondary elements. A beaut — 3 days ago

This was just gorgeous - so elegant, so much style, and I believe this will only improve w/age due to impressive concentration & balance. Ripe black & red fruit, whirlwind of tertiary notes - just kept evolving. Smooth, finely grained tannins & suave acidity. — 11 days ago

See previous note - impressive longevity on this Sicilian SB: honeyed oxidative notes, lemon curd, gooseberry, bit grassy and then when it warmed up: the telltale spearmint. What a treat, really unique although starting it’s inevitable decline. — 14 days ago

Showed much better than previous note: inky, generous blackberry, mocha, tobacco leaf, black cherry, cassis on nose, with herbs & pepper accents - impressive complexity on the aromatics for sure… big fat mid-palate in need of sturdier tannins. Kinda fell over all the place, but in a delicious decadent way. — 6 days ago

$8.95 close out - All Time QPR, this is a legit wine, plenty of polish, bursting w/flavor and not showing any signs of age (yet) — 11 days ago

Not bad, thought this was white Rhône but it tasted more like Languedoc, tart fruit, linear, nectarines & green apple, kumquat, some lime, very refreshing & cohesive — 10 days ago

Tad disappointed - great nose, but this lost a lot of body & primary flavors — 10 days ago

Just delicious! I’ve had great luck w/Savoie wines and this was no different: pours extremely dark, inky, opaque, brooding taking its time to unfurl black & red fruit w/depth, earthy w/a hi tone note along with licorice and forest floor. Big mouth filling broad across palate, gobs of fruit but all fit into sturdy tannic frame. Well cut - a Country Squire — 13 days ago
