Le viole le rose e la bella vita. A smile in the face wine. Sexy, at the same time bold but elegant. Beauty wafting out the glass. — a day ago

Great red blend. Pairs with steaks or as an easy drinking fireplace and cigar wine. Be careful or you will drink an entire bottle yourself!

Fruit bomb toned down after an hour (aerate). From there on kirsch and stewed fruit, subtle herbs and firm acidity as a counterweight. A fantastic coudoulet, outpacing many cndp’s. — 4 years ago

This wine gives new meaning to the Dutch expression “Dikke Sjaak”. Warm red fruit, cherry bomb, a hint of broth. — 16 days ago

2003 vintage. Also recently tasted 9.26.23 (9.5) and 10.14.23 (9.4). First bottle was sexy, voluptuous and the usual Cos with all the baby fat, even after two decades. 2nd bottle much leaner (9.4) and w/o the baby fat...more minerals afoot. Decanted and immediately tasted, also after 30 mins and after 2 hrs. Massive sed thrown. This bottle in between worlds. Some baby fat, some minerals-still damned delicious and doesn't suck. 10.22.23. — 6 months ago

My last of a three pack, and this shockingly drinks almost identical to my last bottle over four years ago.

Lovely deep red in the glass with bricking around the rim. Fig bar, sweet black cherries and tobacco aromatics. Ripe red and black fruits on the palate...not over ripe, but definitely sweet. Channeling more of a cherry liqueur and concentrated mid-palate as it ages. Close to fully integrated. Quite smooth and still a lot of fruit playing a primary role, but it’s not getting any better. More sexy than intellectual (nothing wrong with either).

I’d imagine this will hold in this window for another couple years and then decline, but I didn’t expect it to hold in this same window for almost five years. Drink up. — 4 months ago

Jesus says this is the bomb. Tar and rose petals on the nose. Red fruit, bit of tobacco and graphite round it out. — 4 years ago
