All the strength of a St Emelion merlot (70%) with the smoothness of 30% cab franc. Needs some air, but then nice balance of cherries, a little oak, some vanilla. Drinks well on it's own or paired with meat, maybe a bolognese, pizza, burgers. — 5 months ago

I am a fan of their work. This wine is so weightless, soft & gentle, it might float on water.

I met Toby Bekker in Australia who I thought his Grenache and Syrah wines were made in a Burgundian style. I asked him about his time in Burgundy and if that influenced his wines. He said, there he learned what not to take from grapes/wine. This is a shinning example of what he was taking about.

The fruits are perfectly ripe, floral & extracted. Cherries, strawberries, pomegranate, rhubarb tones, plums, haunting raspberries, light & softly layered baking spices- clove cinnamon, nutmeg & vanillin, understated red cola & licorice, excellent oak use-barrel powder, hints of dry herbs, understated dry twig, hints of grilled meats, notes of dry tobacco w/ ash, soft used leather, red flowers, red & pink flowers, excellent acidity and a well balanced, softly waking tension with grace and elegance on the two-minutes that lands gently on spice & earth.

Beautiful! — 7 months ago

Very pretty. Faded with a touch of balsamic. Poised and pretty. Very light but complete. Pristine for a 50 year old cab — 5 months ago

Clear, pale ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary aromas of bananas, tart cherries, and violets; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, low tannins, medium alcohol, light body, and pronounced primary flavors of pomegranates, strawberry jolly ranchers, and clay pots with a medium finish. This wine is exactly what it should be. Cheap and cheerful. Overall, I rate this wine as good. — 6 months ago

昨日のお誕生日ワイン。鴨に合わせてガメイ種。ワイン見聞録福袋のひとつで市中価格は税別4900円とのこと。ほんとはもっと果実味が豊からしいのだが、夏場のヒートショックにやられたのかそれほどでもなかったのが残念。

We had two bottles both excellent. No specific notes but textbook complex and elegant NSG with a lot of concentration (but not over extracted) thanks to very old vines. Great stuff. — 6 months ago

(En Magnum)…One to live forever, but with proper aeration it’s plenty giving, perfumed and seductive with a powerful, vibrant and structured palate with killer Grand Cru density and stunning length that seemingly never dissipates. For the long haul! — 7 months ago
