2016 drinking great in 2022, had time to settle down and still show zing and fruit. Outstanding effort from a really good winemaker and pioneer. — 2 months ago

2009 is ironed out and plush, red fruits at the front and a long aftertaste. Worth waiting for - patience pays off! — 2 years ago

2020 is a perfect drinking window, all the red fruit is still bright, with some nicely soft edges. Stellar example of South Africa cab franc. — 2 years ago

2012 shows a great blend of Etna grapes, orange in color. Be prepared for a lot of floating remnants in the bottle, easy to overlook after the first sip! A real slugger, plan on a second bottle. — a year ago

Bound to please for the price, zingy with enough body to stand up to sushi and fried chicken. — 2 years ago

Disgorged Jan 2019, so a young bottle in 2020. Extremely enjoyable, light in a good way, with floral rose notes. Lasted about 15 minutes - a real drinker. Paillard delivers a consistent style, elegant and approachable. — 2 years ago

Nice bang for the buck, a bunch of red fruit and the right amount of orange wine sour (don’t hate the description- it’s refreshing). Love the producer, can’t go wrong with this Grand Cru. — a year ago
