Fantastic super Tuscan in the beginning of its window. Grip and tannins are still there but very well integrated. Classic Italian nose and taste profile of dried herbs, leather, on a backbone of dense red and black fruit. Brings the funk, as it should, and a great find at the Weston rd Lcbo — 10 years ago
Enjoying this great bottle of Ch. Grand-Pontet 1998 Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé with Steve & Ashley Mandy at Restaurant Colette, Lincoln Rd. Miami Beach — 11 years ago
The first of 3 bottles from a tasting gifted to Nellie. Medium ruby in color; cherries, cedar, and tabacco on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like eucalyptus, red currants, and red plums with a long finish. It needed to breath for about 30 minutes. I bet it would be great with a little more age as well. Nellie likes it. I do too. — a year ago
Well, it took me an extra day to fully enjoy it, also too in order to make vanish the clear sensations of the 2 pinots I drank just yesterday and the day before which were delicious
Unfortunately I keep comparing them
Day 1: Felton Rd was so much fleshier, even a little hot. I know it had to be different, but in the comparison it definitely lacked elegance, harmony and enjoyment. Though it had personality
Day 2:another wine, fully enjoyable, very defined, focus, pleasant. Not hot anymore. Still thousands of kms away from Burgandy, like it should be (but also so apart from others Central Otago pinots)
More than decent after taste — 7 years ago
2006 Liger- Bel Air La Romanee Burgundy. Date night at Rd. Decanted 30 min before leaving and decanted again at table. Def got better in the glass as it is so young. K noted to decant for a couple more hours next time. — 9 years ago

Great value! Founder Andrew Murray’s Vineyards is a 200-acre site, about 1,500 feet above Foxen Canyon Rd, inland portion of the Santa Ynez Valley, making the vineyard the highest in the county. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre, "Tous les Jours" means “every day,” shows dark red with black fruit aromas and complex spice notes. On the palate, blueberry and black cherry with spicy cedar notes and some oak, Soft tannins, long finish. Very nice, did I say great value! — 6 years ago
