This was nice and rich with heavy legs. Paired very well with my seared venison loin. Lots of blackcurrant, sweet coffee, cherry and raspberry. Good tannin that holds on (even after a two and a half hour decant). The wine keeps a good acidity even with its very round and full mouth finish. It needs a rich meat to accompany otherwise it may feel too Shiraz/Ribena to drink on its own. — 7 years ago

Needs to be served at the right temperature. Ours was over chilled and improved significantly when it warmed. Paired well with both the red hind Tartare and my foie gras. Light with nice body. — 7 years ago

Had the 2103 at Villa D’Este. Excellent. 14% by vol but surprisingly light and smooth. Highly recommend. — 7 years ago

I really liked this. Went well with my turkey scallopini piaziola. While very light, it has faint tannin and nice Summer fruit. 100% Gamay and works well with good olive oil and light garlic. Easy and quaffable and lightens up further when left in the glass. This won’t compete with heavy red meat or strong spice but works well for a good light red. — 7 years ago

2012. Very nice but a little light. Good legs but I needed something rounder with more bottom to compete with the duck. Nice Beaune but needs more body. I decanted for two hours in advance. — 7 years ago

Had at the BDA/BISA function. December 12, 2017. It’s very nice and similar to he Chateau Ste Michelle Eroica (not quite as good). Good sweetness with a dry finish. Will work with spicy shrimp, tamarind glaze or chili jam. — 7 years ago

Had it at Beau Rivage, Jan 2018. It was good but it cost us $65. Lighter than I was expecting. I was pairing it with beef Wellington and grilled lamb chops. In reality it needed something rounder with more fruity bottom. This was more like a light Pinot with Sangiovese overtones and light tannin. — 7 years ago

Wow. Went perfectly with my Christmas Eve New York Strip with truffled paccheri & Cheese. Soooo smooth but with great tannin - very necessary for the marble in the meat. Huge cab grape. Little bit of blackberry and a lot of chocolate. Yum. Note: I decanted two hours in advance. — 7 years ago

Really good. The steel casking takes the butter and oak away to leave a very clean and fresh finish. This has Chardonnay flavour with Pinot Grigio feel (not quite so sharp or bitchy). — 7 years ago
