Vanilla. Creamy. Needed a bit more air than other pinot's to settle down. Little acid, light on the tannins. Excellent for the price point. Well matched to pork loin chops, not as much with steak. — 4 months ago

Bought this as a future in 2017. Kept it stored since then. This is the first one we've opened. After an hour in the decanter, strong dark cherries, a little pepper. Towards the end of the meal, the fruitiness had mellowed a bit and the underlying cab franc shone thru. Very well blended with Merlot, Cab, Cab Franc and Petit Verdot. The good news is I have 11 more bottles to evaluate. — 7 months ago

Licorice. A little cinnamon and vanilla. Not overly dry. Thankfully not a fruit forward type of wine, this has character. Served with rack of lamb and brussel sprouts and it paired very well. — 2 months ago

8.9

A very good median priced Chianti. Acid, tannins (med, med-hi). Inky color, 13.5% alcohol, so bit of a bite. Capable of fighting with strong Italian dishes. Red sauce, frau diavalo. Tobacco, licorice. Good for the price ~$20. — 6 months ago

Can't really say one way on or the other on this. It was a 26 year old Bordeaux. It was corked. The cork came out in pieces and damp (but not stained?). It was an interesting experiment of a bottle that was given to me by someone that probably didn't store it properly. The color and smell was off. Taste was horrible. Glad I didn't pay for it. Unhappy that I tasted it. — 3 months ago
