Very nice! Classic Cab Franc. PnP. Dark red color. Nose of dark cherries and bell pepper. Pretty big wine with lots of depth. I enjoyed it. — a month ago

What a big luscious Chardonnay. Great nose, big flavor and long smooth finish. It’s doesn’t get any better than this. — 2 years ago

Really dig all of their Syrahs I’ve tried. Felt like a gamble buying a bunch of wine based on a podcast ad but this one paid off. — 5 years ago

Held up well over the last 28 years! Took a gamble on some birthday wine and it payed off well. Prominent bricking and the cork obviously fell apart, but the wine maintained the rustic, leathery notes of age, with hints of black tea, overripe plum, and some lingering acidic energy, like a ripe strawberry with some dark chocolate. Medium bodied, with some leathery, smoky ash over the dark cherry like fruit, there’s notes of cranberry and strawberry compote still alive in here. The finish lingers for a while, fresh, but not acidic with tannins that only really started to show after a few hours of opening. Grippy, but well integrated. If the measure of a great wine is in its ability to last, this wine has earned the title despite poor storage conditions and lack of faith from its sellers. — 3 months ago

Took a bit of a gamble given the rep for being very long lived. Opened t-8 hours and decanted 3+ hours. Still quite closed. You can get a sense of the depth of the fruit on the nose but overall it is veiled. The tannins are serious. Would never have guessed Beaujolais- one to let rest for many years. — 2 years ago

Wow. Premiere Cru Volnay from 1986! A gamble if a purchase and boy oh boy was it singing. Really pretty with character without some of the negative decay aspects. Beautiful color and weight. Smiles all around. With 4HHM for Sunday gravy. — 3 years ago
