An impressive Cabernet Savignon from Paso. All the boldness I want with flavors of dark cherry and oak.

Surprised and delighted with this one!! — 12 days ago

Une belle bouteille que ce « simple » Sonoma Coast provenant de 4 vignobles de la région, Flowers que j'ai connu grâce au livre 1001 vins. Un nez bien agréable de beurre, mie de pain, amande et chèvrefeuille. La bouche est intense, longue avec une bonne acidité malgré un certain gras avec du beurre. — 5 months ago

It’s a night of first year consecutive decades, 90 & 80. Enjoyed in reverse order

From the same technical team as Leoville Las Cases.

Another great Clyde Beffa direct purchase from the Chateau or Negociant.

Still ripe older Bordeaux fruits with smoothed out lead pencil. Blackberries, black raspberries that lean into pudding, black plum, darkest, cooked cherries, raspberries edges, baked rhubarb and hues of poached strawberries. There is nothing that bites back. Dark chocolate, smooth mocha, caramel, soften baking spices-clove, nutmeg, cinnamon & vanillin, old tobacco w/ ash, used leather, dry top soil, limestone powder, black licorice to anise, dry river stone, fresh & withering dark, red flowers, amazing, rainfall acidity and a well; balance, structured, knitted and smartly polished finish that lasts 90 seconds.

Steak slow cooked in the oven at graduating low heats and then seared at 1300 degrees, 30, 30, 30 & 30. .

“The Truth is Inside” is an expression about the very bottom of a bottle of wine. Tannin soaked & it never lies. Typically the best part of the bottle. 93 that lands 94 in truth. I always leave two-three inches of wine in bottle just because it is always slightly better than the rest of the bottle. It is more concentrated. — 3 months ago

Fairly simple and straightforward, I wish this wine was more gutsy than just appealing to taste soft and more fruity. Shows hints of what could be though so it is true to Syrah character. — 4 months ago

Very nice surprise for me given my expectations were low for this generic high priced Burgundy. But we were aurprised by the generius red fruit, cherries, nice depth and volume, good acidity and silky tannins with a decent finish in terms of length and flavor. Well balanced and even if the price tag is high, there was some wine in there. Gorgeous. Our son’s dog named “Pinot, (yeah we are passionate about anything that is Pinot) seems to appreciate also.

Une belle surprise, mes attentes n’étaient pas hautes pour ce Bourgogne générique mais le vin nous a surpris par sa profondeur, son fruit rouge généreux, cerises entre autres, sa matière, un beau volume, une belle acidité et des tannins soyeux, une finale de belle longueur pour l’appellation. Très bel équilibre et bien au-dessus d’un simple générique. Bien sur c’est pas donné mais au moins il y avait du vin. Très jolie bouteille. 91-92
