Lush plummy fruit with dark cherry, some iodine and white pepper. A little bit of animal in the background. Very good balance and length. — a day ago

Rustic and funky and dank and fruity and perfect . Dark and earthy Mourvèdre, spicy Carignan and deliciously fruity Grenache all meet up in this truthful wine. Lovely. — 21 days ago

Biting! This is saline, limestone, some anise, a hint of stone fruit. I’ve never had a bland de blancs like this. There is no bread or yeast. It reminds me of chenin bland mixed with Chablis. Definitely awesome with food. It opens over time with a tiny bit more fruit (green apple) and herbs, but man is this razor sharp. Perfect over many hours on a warm afternoon/evening. 2014 base, disgorged 2018. Nondosage. — 14 days ago

100% Merlot, old vine. Lots of dark cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco leaf. Still developing but drinking well. Excellent pair with grilled Vacio cut. — 14 days ago

Big and round mouthful, dried cassis, tobacco. Some hints of bell pepper. Rustic but very well balanced at the same time. Deep and inky purple. Fruit is far back there, which is a nice change of pace for us Americans. Great with a NY strip on a Thursday night. — 17 days ago

Delicious, well made, value Bordeaux from a great vintage. Very giving right out of the gate but with two hours of air the structure really shows. Lovely balance. Black currant, graphite, pipe tobacco. Super drinkable now but will age well. — 9 days ago
