A little fuller than I would expect from this grape bit still tasty and enjoyable! — 3 years ago
2020 Christmas gift from neighbors. Rick and I both like it a lot. Fuller than most pinot noirs (good thing) but lighter than most cabs...closer to a blend. — 4 years ago
A medium garnet color with a wide rim. Classic Barbaresco nose of dried roses, cherries, and dark chocolate. Absolutely gorgeous on the nose. This is one of those producers where you just know that it’s going to be good. A fuller bodied Nebbiolo that’s dancing gracefully at the moment. Ripe tannins that do need a bit of air before the fruit can be fully uncovered. Silky smooth on the tongue and just plain delectable. Touches of leather and dried herbs to go along with the oak, stewed plums, and more cherries on the palate. Chocolate mousse and tobacco follow on the long finish. This can definitely hold up a for several more years but I wouldn’t blame you for opening now. — 5 years ago
Chateau de Manissy, Tavel rose, Cuvee des Lys. Salmon rose coloration. Very pretty color. On the nose, red berry, cherry and florals. On the palate, red berries, strawberries, minerals, florals, nice fuller body and full mouthfeel. — a year ago
Very dark ruby coloration. On the nose, cherry, strawberry and toasted oak. On the palate, it mirrors the nose with the fruit, oak and some vanilla to round it out. Medium to fuller body and well balanced. Smooth tannins and a medium to shorter finish. A nice easy drinking wine at this price point of $25 at total wine. — 4 years ago
Initial overtones red fruit on the nose that suddenly shifts to undertones of menthol, bergamot and menthol. Fuller bodied than you might expect. Raspberry and cranberry tartness and purple flowers like lilac on the palette. You feel the 14.5% a bit but still a great wine. — 5 years ago

2004 vintage. Decanted and tasted after an hour. This was fuller and more complex than any of the other < 2010 Marcassin (Marcassin Vyd) Pinots I’ve had lately. Big, staying power. 3.5.24. — 8 months ago
