Tasted this 2023 without food and liked it but had trouble with its acidity and austerity. Then later had it with a Lasagna and it was perfect. The acidity mellowed with aeration and its delicate herbal qualities came through. Light bodied ruby colored, — 2 days ago

This 1970 Bordeaux has no business being what it has become. Like a late harvest or better yet a fortified oxidized wine with a molasses color and initial texture that then thins out. All grapes seem to be going to Mecca at their own humble pace — 5 days ago

Bought this 2020 cru at $50. While in Cleveland. Was assured it was worth every penny it and it is outstanding. Crushed dark fruits including fig with spices. Juniper, pine, camphor oil, leather and bitter orange peel. Truly one of the biggest and most complex Moulin a Vents I’ve ever had. A wintry wine for roasted foods. Has easily another 5 years ahead of it. — 2 months ago

2024. Am tasting over several days and it is getting better and brighter unexpectedly. On day one was more flat and Pinot Grigio like. Now has bracing acidity with tart peach and underripe pears. About $36 a bottle — 3 months ago

Had zero expectations for this wine at a party featuring lost bottles from your cellar. It was like a raspberry preserve that you canned 10 years ago and still has the essence of that years growing season. An unexpected joy. — 5 days ago

Had this at a forgotten bottle in your cellar party and it was like visiting an elegant mountain resort that has not been taken over by a corporation. Old fading elegance — 5 days ago

So far my favorite Falanghina. Very distinct ginger and cinnamon notes with a just baked pear in mid palate. Full of salinity, with hints of the ginger throughout exceptional wine at $20 a bottle!!!! — 2 months ago

This 2014 took about a half hour to shed some of its bottle funk and open up to a very lithe, whispery and extremely seductive wine. Hints of classic dried roses, with a bit of herbs and “tar”. Delicate on the verge of fading but lovely. A sunset just as it slips into the horizon. — 3 months ago
