A terrific elderly bottle of Gigondas. All earth, herb, and mushrooms, with fruit taking a backseat at this juncture. Not at all tired. Still energetic and lovely. — a month ago

Nose initially reticent, some reductive notes, peach and apricot in the background. Fresh, green apple, balanced acidity. Delightful wine that should benefit from a couple years of bottle age — 5 months ago

Light golden color. Honey and beeswax nose. Surprisingly fresh palate. Balanced, excellent mid palate length and finish. A lovely Chard from a venerable estate known for making wines made for the long haul and this proves it — 4 months ago

Delicious lemony, beeswax, lanolin nose. Super fresh at almost a decade and will surely be brilliant for another 10. Great acidity balancing medium richness. — 6 months ago

Terrific Zin that walks the line perfectly between ripe fruit but not overripeness. Red and black fruit, medium bodied, bright. Should evolve nicely for several more years but delicious now. Had with grilled BBQ chicken and that was a home run. — 5 months ago

Wonderfully fresh for 20 year Shiraz. Meaty, dark fruited, wonderful balance. Will surely go for several more years but hard to imagine that it could get better than this. — 6 months ago
