This wine has an interesting history. Please read the pro ratings. It was rather pricey and in my opinion - not great value for money. Yes, highly drinkable. Went well with faro, asparagus parm risotto and some filet tips. Everyone enjoyed. Somewhat fruit forward, somewhat juicy, deep red color - fine and everyone enjoyed it. However, you can definitely find something better at the price point that would satisfy and pair with food equally well if not better. Don’t mean to knock it - since I have 2 bottles remaining - but meh! — 3 years ago
Enjoyable. Love small batch high quality. Love oak barrel to soften tannins and create a better balance. — 5 years ago
Stunningly beautiful and perfumed nose that is distinctive Dujac. That seductive stemmy spice. The palate, although perhaps a wee bit less generous is pure silk. Regal texture and ultra lux mouthfeel with Grand Cru weight and intensity along with excellent precision and focus.
Black and blue fruit and pixelated minerals intertwine with Dujac whole bunch character along with a touch of cocoa on the backpalate and fine grain tannins, lead to a persistent and lifted finish. This is packed with tension and substance to age effortlessly for decades. Malco always a special wine. Baby Tâche ❤️ — 5 years ago
Barnyard and wet suede, and astringent high notes, on the nose. Sour tropical peels, pith, and unsweetened lime on the palate. Different, and difficult by itself. But sings once paired with salt, brine, and fat. — 7 years ago
Deep dark berry port on the nose, brown tint implying age, pretty delicious and elegant, but maybe a bit too much alcohol. — 7 years ago

Recommended by sommelier at Miller & Lux, steak and risotto dinner. Decanted for 30 minutes, then served over the course of 60 minutes. Lovely fruit. Smooth and fine. One of the top Pinot Noir's I have ever had the pleasure.
