Baked pot pie with blueberry topping. Needs air to settle. A phenomenal interpretation. — 5 months ago

Nose has ripe blackberry, blueberry jam on toast, seasoned oak firewood, over-ripe plum and moist cinnamon.

Palate has semi-dried blueberry jam, over-ripe black cherry, cedar shavings, moist leather and blackberry concentrate. Very long finish, heavy on the palate, slightly astringent, nose has notable alcohol. Decanted +4H, more time appreciated.

Suggest holding this bottle until at least 2024+, hopefully it settles some more. Expected maturity 2028-33, in proper storage.

Paired to medium-rare burgers with the best ground beef we can acquire locally at this time; Kinderhook Farm (Valatie, NY), I love thee! Lettuce from our garden, BBQ sauce from our garden (2020). Tomato topping needs to wait another 1-2 weeks, this year things seem slower than normal. Southern Berkshires of Massachusetts 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pairs well with one-day old brownies. 😋 — 3 years ago

Impressive. Apples, peaches, and citrus on the pallet topping it off with great acidity - Chablis-esque. A total value for $17-$20. Drink now! — 6 years ago

2018 vintage. More accessible than expected, given past, sporadic vintages tasted. Should prob give it a 9.7 just for that damnable wax topping finally saying bye-bye. — a year ago

Oxidative style, nutty, spice, orange peel, round mouthfeel and bright tangy acidity. 2-years in barrels without any topping or racking. — 5 years ago

This is a pretty big wine. Rich velvety plums came to mind and blackberries that reminded me like something from a high end dessert topping. If that makes sense. Smooth finish that did linger nicely. Did not have an opportunity to decant and because of the guests was limited to one glass. I would like more time with this wine to see how it developed after a bit of time. — 6 years ago

100% Savagnin made in ouillé style (topped up, non oxidized). In fact, this is Tissot’s only Savagnin ouillé, as most of their Savagnin grapes go towards the production of Vin Jaune (aged under flor, without topping-up). Complex, mineral, very tasty. Long, saline finish — 2 years ago

Hand harvest, selection during harvest, pneumatic press for gentle extraction on whole clusters, indigenous yeasts, no sulphur, must settling for 12 hours, ferment in the tank first then transfer to 228L used barrels with malo. Infrequent topping up without sulfur, on lees in old barrels, 18-24 months at least. Lemon curd, yellow apricot, ripe pear, round leesy texture, dried white blossom, white cherry, mushroom, medium acidity, pronounced intensity and length. 13% abv. — 4 years ago

Sous bois, mature red fruit, elegant with a tad short finish. Controversial as usual regarding refresh - topping off. Would be good on it's own but overshadowed by other bottles in the tasting. — 5 years ago
