Seems he nailed this vintage. Best bottle I can remember trying from this producer. All the oxidative notes are now fully integrated. — 7 months ago

Clean, authentic Loire character, excellent density and proportion, controlled vivacity, forward but has a good reserve, transparent without exposing too much. — 7 years ago

Amazing. Golden color, stinky nose, delightful mouth feel, honey/syrup flavor that lasts forever. Paired with a remarkable grapefruit and ice cream dessert from Le Cinq that was custom made for this kind of wine. — 7 years ago

A balance of fruit and non-fruit aromas... black cherries, subtle nutmeg, slate.
Light but rich on the palate with the same fruit and spice flavors as aromas, some soft but present acidity hits the tip of the tongue, and soft but present tannins linger. Complex and delicious. — 2 years ago

Fortunate enough to taste this lovely wine 11 years after its vintage and it was singing. #napa #pnv Only 5 cases produced. “This wine showcases our 200 acres of estate vineyards by using a blend of the five classic Bordeaux grapes from five landmark Napa Valley appellations. Deeply fruited and elegantly structured, this wine combines nuance and power for a classic bottling. Our Premiere Napa Valley bottling showcases rich texture and deep complexity. Aromas of ripe blackberry, Bing cherry, clove and star anise leap from the glass and balance a dense palate of black plum, cassis and toasty cocoa with a smooth finish framed by dusty tannins.

Intense mineral, a surprising hint of strawberry. The fruit is pretty fat, given how tight and acid this is. — 7 years ago

Not my kind of pinot, but I must admit I quite enjoyed this. Kinda like Denis Mortet Mes Cinq Terriors. Dark fruited and mineral inflected. The Rossignol Trapet 13' village stretches quite a bit of power, but is well-balanced by the saline backbone and just the right amount of acidity. Blackcurrant, dried florals, earthy, mocha, some spice. Quite supple, silky tannins. I would say - excellent value! — 7 years ago

Outstanding, as long as you let it breathe at least 30 minutes. Great, complex flavor, with nice oak finish that makes it full and long. From WSJ Wines. Tasted 22 November 2022 — 4 years ago

Jasmine, quince paste, spiced pear, lemon curd, pineapple sweetness, punchy. Touch of lemon pith at end, but tons of juicy acid. Creamy / lactic. Chalky minerals. Layered, delicious, weighty.

Number One wine of a five wine blind tasting with 5 different grape varieties.

What a beautiful wine. The nose is complex, elegant with violets, white pepper and some animal and slightly meaty scent. The wine is gorgeous, powerful, complex, dark fruit that is lush and velvety silky tannins on a tremendous finish. 93-94

Premier vin facilement lors d’une dégustation à l’aveugle de cinq cépages à la maison.

Un nez complexe et magnifique de violettes, poivre blanc, touche animale et viandeuse. Une bouche complexe aussi mais tellement avenante, puissante mais gourmande et généreuse avec une superbe texture, belle longue finale. 93-94 — 6 years ago

An unfiltered Chablis that was exploding with lemon and butter notes. There was bruised pear and green apple in the background. I’m definitely going to scoop up the last few bottles. — 7 years ago
