CVed 10/2/19 prior to NC trip. Dark Ruby color and first a hint of funk that blows off followed by layers of dark cherry earthy aromatics that evolves in glass over minutes. Surprisingly fresh and complex lively texture with long finish. A winner. Too bad only bottle from JR at $68. Wow. Opened 9/10/21 Deborah (Leila) visit. Exact same profile! Yum. Really opened up after an hour. — 7 years ago
CVed 8/28/17 3 Pinot comp. Chorey 2003 2001 and Jura. '01 with floral and Forest notes classic red Burg medium body and finish that's a bit on the light and elegant side. '03 seemed closed off Leila says has fish scale notes that to me is dustiness and mushroom and there's more heat and energy. Would split the difference between two. Opened this 2001 9/13/17. It's very tasty. It's maybe best not to get too focused on comp and just drink and enjoy! Went well with the slowed cooked beef in soup. — 9 years ago

Intense aromas of dark fruits, ripe dark cherries and spices, wood. Amazingly round and warm with soft hedges. — 3 years ago
Just at the edge of too much oxidation. Nice golden color but got that hints of sherry nose and notes of oxidation on palate. However went quite well with the garlic and spicy shrimp by Leila! Waited too long and got bit of preox. — 6 years ago
Good new world style Zin but not overblown. 15ABV but not too hot on palate. Can taste the wood but reasonable. Long finish. Interesting nose of ripe berries currants and savory note (burnt salmon skin? From Leila). be great with meats. Only 300 cases or so. Two days later tasting even more balanced. First day under gas. Second in Eto. Working out great. — 7 years ago
Wine dinner 6/10/17. Golden amber color with tropical floral and honeysuckle notes. Very sweet and honey on palate. Long finish. Paired really well with cheesecake and also the chocolate almond cake Leila made. — 9 years ago
Sweet so lovely with Leila in Zurich — 13 years ago
Beautiful Riesling. Gorgeous golden color. Gentle breezes of sweet Riesling notes of fruits and stones followed by caressing textures and lingering finish. Yum. Actually too yummy to go with the Mary revised Leila curry chicken that was less spicy than thought. — 4 years ago
First encounter with this unusual grape from Muscadet region. Kermit Lynch import. Thought Alsatian due to bottle shape. Nice medium yellow color and floral stone fruits and chalky nose fading to asparagus (according to Leila). Lucious profile carrying through to palate with firm texture to long acidic finish. Great with the salmon and leeks. Too bad only bottle AA 13. — 6 years ago
CVed again second time 9/7/17. Same note on nose. Leila hit it on head. It's dill! And stone fruits and hay. Carries through to palate and finish but with an acidic steak. So interesting for a forty year old wine though library wine and color is amazingly young looking with beautiful golden hue. That biting finish however makes me want food. Very long finish. Finally opened 7/25/18. Still an amazing wine. That dill note perhaps due to cellar aging for so long? — 9 years ago
John says: "ooh yeah that's what I'm talkin about. That funky sour finish"
