Mmmmm. Smoky, earthy, rich, dense, smooth. Tea, raisins, tobacco notes, reasonably integrated structure with some heft. Nothing like a good 15 year old Aglianico with the mouthfeel and finish of a young Amarone. — 21 days ago

Simple Vermentino, good with the avocado and langoustines, not particularly special otherwise. — a month ago

Comparing both side by side. Left is Dijon 777 clone and right is F105 German clone. They are same year, same soil, same wine maker, same process. And uncorked and poured simultaneously. Color is almost identical. But flavor and aroma is really different. The 777 opened faster, is more aromatic, brighter cherry, a bit floral. The F105 is deeper, earthier, and has a different fruit characteristic, not sure what it is though. Sour cherry with a hint of balsamic? — 2 days ago

Opened 3 years after the last one, same vintage. Opinion relatively unchanged mostly,yawn, but less forgiving today. Grape juice. — 21 days ago

8.5

Earthy rich deep red and black berries, strong but well integrated tannins, tea, walnuts, long finish. Acidity. I think there is a bit of vanilla in the cocoa on the tail but my wife said find someone who will confirm that because she couldn’t. This has many years to go before prime time. Unfortunately only opened an hour before we drank it, because, whoa, towards the end of dinner we were flying. All early notes above are suspect. — a month ago

Very round, strong oak spice, vanilla. But still decent acidity cutting through. Excellent with the takeout Chinese but not a wine for on its own at this time. — 16 days ago

I thought I got a hint of apple compote with a light cinnamon. On the tongue it was persimmon and maybe acacia honey, but not too sweet. A good shot of acidity cutting through and minerality. — 21 days ago
