This is why Montalcino is where you want to go for your Sangiovese. Muscular, earthy, and masculine without skimping on fruit. Packed with dark fruit, blackberry bramble, and an absolute ton of rainbow and black peppercorns. An elegant Italian heavyweight in dark black shoes. — 9 years ago

We first tried a bottle of Celestins in a restaurant in Gigondas some years ago, and for me it was a WOW Wine. Had this latest bottle on Sunday with Roast Pork. Medicinal to begin with which blew off. Barnyard aromas - horse manure. In hindsight this could’ve been Brett but the overall impression and tasting was impressive and memorable. Glad I have 3 left. Showing a medium to full bodied palate. This is textbook CdP in the old school genre. The tannins are silky and sexy - a liquorice note together with saddle leather. Henri Bonneau passed away in 2016 and the wine making is now carried out by his son, Marcel. A visit to his archaic cellars was keenly sought after and rarely granted. Mould all over the walls, rickety stairs light bulbs dangling from the ceiling and a floor which stuck to the soles of your shoes was how one visitor described his experience in the cellar. Nevertheless this is a CdP up there with Rayas and the top Cuvée from Beaucastel. The blend is usually 90% Grenache with the balance made up of around 4 or 5 different varieties. — 3 years ago

Kick-off your shoes, pour a glass and relax. Warm and delicate, well balanced and smooth. A great wine for every occasion. — 5 years ago

This is a sexy, massive wine. Decanted over candle light....the color is like a dark shade of ruby red - the wives are calling it Dorothy’s ruby red shoes in a glass!! Massive fruit. Earth, some cedar and faint hints of green pepper. The finish on this last so long. Just crazy good. — 9 years ago

Such an amazing wine.
This fino one day decides to not be, loses it flor and has a flirt with Amontillado..
N:cherries* ( my 26 yr daughters)Shoe polish, caramel candy.Nut treacle.oh so many constantly. Changes
Upon changes. Some petrol.
P: Feels a bit dying upon entry, sharp and luxuriously sapient and enveloping, leather shoes, oils that will always provide mystery.Caramel, Chalk, treacle…cobblestones.A beautiful thing to imbibe. 20°

This is hazy, just as the label advertises, and just delightful. Would pair amazingly well with a curry of some sort. Bright and delicate, the hops are quite well-balanced. — 5 years ago

Very nice aglianico. Dry. A little barn-yardy. Some cherry fruit. Not an easy drinking crowd pleaser but I think that’s what I like about it. With food. Dig it. — 8 years ago

Ok I get it, this is an exact replica of Gonon's St. Joseph but let's be honest, those fruity island wine characteristics still come through like a clown at the farmers market. For the money? Definitely in a bout against Gonon it's holding its value...just ever so slightly. — 9 years ago
