Slightly reductive at first but upon opening and I’m speechless. Just an absolutely incredible wine I don’t think I’ve ever had one like this before especially not at 14 years old — 4 months ago

😱👏🏼👏🏼🤯🤣!! I’m speechless...dark shine red. Notes of red berries, oak, mint, leather and kind of earthy flavors. In mouth, great acidity and velvety tannins, mineral, red berries, little touch of vanilla from oak aging, complex, extremelly pleasent, fresh, easy to drink and with long end in mouth.

Speechless…
Guigal La Doriane meets Aubert Ritchie and then back to Chapoutier l’Oree.
Monumental wine showing mesmerizing notes of tropical fruit and flowers. Deep, rich and intense. Pine-Apple and papaya, firecracker, ginger and candied lemon. Such an impressive and heavy-handed wine… yet Its fantastic acidity makes this is so complete, so hedonistic, so cerebral….
Just great.. 🤙🏻 — 5 years ago

Phenomenal wine...my first exposure and almost left speechless. Flirting with perfection with peaches, honey, salinity, acidity. Beautiful color and truly an experience in a bottle. — 6 years ago

My mind was blown!! As close as your getting to get to first growth at an insane price! PnP and reminded me of Haut Brion. Dusty, earthy, and smokey with some tar. Velvet on the palate with an insanely long finish. I’m speechless and in somewhat disbelief!! — 8 years ago

@delectable This is a Texan, not a Californian; Texas High Plains AVA to be exact. I'm speechless after this effort... insane character and uniqueness. Has it's own definitive style without losing the soul of Sauvignon Blanc. This is straight up radiating with energy.

My girl wanted in on this review. She's got a way with words that is one in a million 😜 So, here is our combined effort:

"Now featuring: The Green Elixir. Wisps of kiwi swiftly enter the nasal passage on command. Over-ripened sweet cantaloupe charges through leaping over fresh Bosc pears. Similar to walking through a field of freshly cut grass on a midsummer Sunday morning. Upon walking through the renewed grass, you will come across loamy soil, enveloped with sandy silt. Dandelions magically pop up along the adventurous route dancing lazily in the breeze.

Taste consistently bathes, not lingers, but bathes on the palate. Anyone ever kiss a lime rind? Experience it now with The Green Elixir. Sour, yet makes you yearn for more. Granny Smith apples frolic throughout the tastebuds. Heading towards the end of our adventure, straw begins to make an appearance and wants to join in the fun. At the peak of the completion of our endeavor, a special herb comes out to play. Lemon Basil pleasantly surprises you to make sure your finale is more than grand.

*Medium-plus acidity and Medium-minus body

💚🍏🍐🍈🥝🌿🌳🥂"

I rediscovered this Domaine in Beaune at Dilletente. Never drink these wines in the first 10 years Lolo said…they need time….He was right. What a wines when they are mature. Speechless. D’Auvenay style and even quality. — 2 years ago

World class … baby-butt smooth at 55 years old. I’m speechless… gob-stopped…struck dumb…just a drop of good spring water to splash the tart-apple nose straight up your nostril. Pie spice, cinnamon, tobacco- pouch, dark brown sugar… then a blast of rounded alcohol that threatens to leave you breathless before it blasts its way to the back of your throat. Plenty of weight, oceans of complexity, and long, smooth ribbons of chocolate crusted caramels. Simply wonderful on this early winter evening.,, — 4 years ago

July 2016 disgorgement. Bright clean notes of rhubarb and wild strawberry with sweet biscuits. Amazing focused mousse and lingering finish. Complexity keeps drawing you back and the aroma keeps morphing into something new. I am almost speechless but honored to pour this for my guests for New Years Day. — 8 years ago
