1999 vintage. Some frequent guests brought this in and were worried about it having held up. In my experience, this decidedly, old-school producer needs more time than the average bear to come around and show well. Nice fill and great cork. Decanted and tasted after 20 minutes. Throwing a bit of sludgy/powdery sed but very manageable. Slight amount of funk on the nose that blew off within minutes. Wine was a tad flat at the onset but gained strength in the decanter/glass with more oxygen. The fruit, thankyouforasking, was just dandy. Tannins, while still evident, were functioning more like an omniscient narrator. Ridiculous, deep, like just bottled color to this wine. So ridiculous, had to check several times with different lighting/backgrounds to make sure it wasn't my imagination. Beautiful, older premier cru red Burg experience. 9.14.25. — 9 months ago

Amazing wine! An appellation close to Châteauneuf-du-Pape and a lot cheaper.
Raspberries, blueberries, herbs and cedar. Lighter bodied with lots of tannin (Barolo-esque?) and acidity. Paired with carbonara and it was dandy 🥰 — 7 years ago

The medium-dark wine has a concentrated nose of cranberry, cola and black tea. A note of tar also pokes its head into the scene. The palate is lovely, a bit on the weighty side as California Pinot is wont to be, but dark, delicious and a dandy match for a grilled pork chop or lamb. The expected cranberry flavor is riper, more like cherry, and the full mouthfeel is satisfying. Its acidity is perfectly refreshing while the tannins are purposeful yet manageable. — 8 years ago

Rhône Valley Rose’ blend of Grenache (50%) and Syrah (50%). Light pink color. Abundant aromas of strawberry, raspberry and white flowers. More raspberry fruit on the palate with additional flavors of strawberry and watermelon. Well balanced and quite crisp. Just a bit of heft. Interesting bottle design. Appreciate you opening this one, Chris B! — a year ago

An aging dandy with just enough fruit left to dance in the palate — which makes it after my heart. Earthy, leathery with cherry and raspberry and lavender and bit of olive on the long finish. — 5 years ago

I didn’t have high expectations for this value #lodi #zinfandel. Blackberry jam aromas dominate. In the mouth there’s the expected rich briar fruit flood but it’s quickly followed by nice acid structure, dark chocolate and coffee notes mid-palate, faint warming spices and tongue-coating tannins on the long finish. It is unexpectedly quaffable and a dandy value at $11 from #wsjwineclub — 6 years ago

11/18 disgorgement, 2.5 g/L dosage. Pure, structured and not at all a rosé Champagne for the dandy set. Framboises, cranberries, wet stones. Elegant, silky mousse. — 6 years ago

Not only is it a dandy of a malbec but it quickly became a favorite to cook with as well. It has pleasing subtle tar notes and tastes like an old-world wine. A little on the dry side. Would buy again. — 7 years ago

A Barolo and a Pinot meet at a bar. Who wins? Who cares...they became friends and made this dandy of a combo! Thanks #kermitlynch — 8 years ago

Happy Easter y’all!
I celebrated by opening this dandy Gevry! This bottle marks the most I have ever spent on a single bottle ($75).
With the social distancing set in place I (un)fortunately had to drink this one all on my own. I would have rather shared this with others who would also appreciate it…but here we are. I won’t complain about drinking good burgundy all by myself LOL

This wine was extremely funky at first with lots of earthy notes: wet leaves, dirt. The nose became fruitier as it opened up.
The palate was smooth with lovely tart cherries. It lingered on the palate for quite a while.

A nice wine to have on a quarantined holiday and Monty Python & the Holy Grail on tv! — 6 years ago

Has so much potential. It just needs time. Huge tannins. Just a little time will smooth them out and this will be dandy. — 7 years ago

I finally get the volcanic funk references. Clean flavors with clarity rarely seen in a red. From a visionary wine maker. Thanks to Kyle for the chance to taste this dandy. — 9 years ago
