Sweet notes of pineapple, smooth as silk, unoaked (I believe), a barrel full of fun Chardonnay monkeys. — 8 years ago
Still very “alive”, with a full on invasion of Sea Monkeys and a ton of CO2. That wasn’t the case with the previous bottle. Put the cork back in and left it in the wine fridge. We were out on night two, so didn’t try again until night three. At that point the cork popped like a Champagne bottle, but the sediments had settled and the CO2 abated. The wine was now what I remembered, with nice minerality and the unique flavor profile from the six grape blend. Score based on nights 3 and 4. — 8 years ago
Yes? Super green. Greeny tart unripe stuff. Again, against my advice not decanted as long as i would have done under normal circumstances. Not my circus, not my monkeys. A bunch of good dirty notes, i suspect it would have been an excellent example in either 10 more years, or an additional 40 min in the Decanter. :/ — 9 years ago
If someone had never tasted a Napa Valley Cab, I would happily pour this for reference. It's bold and great. I'm enjoying the balance of ripe, dark fruit with tasteful oak additions. There's a hint of eucalyptus, and pleasant leathery tannins. I personally would take this over Silver Oak or Heitz with my ribeye, and that's not just my wallet talking. $50 well spent.
Listening to Arctic Monkeys, again. — 9 months ago

I was very excited to try this and was not let down. The first word that comes to mind is “scrumptious” (which is weird because I never use that word nor do I know anyone who uses that word). Really graceful and beautiful. I would pair this with two tickets to an Arctic Monkeys concert 😉🔜👀

Really nice. Reeeeally nice. Just a touch of oxidation, but still quite lovely. Again against my advice poured from bottle and not decanted. Truly better after a tonne of time, but whatcha gonna do. Not my circus, not my monkeys — 9 years ago

Tis the season for soul warming Languedoc reds. This was the basic faugeres, carignane/Grenache/cinsault blend. Soft and mellow, black cherry fruit has maybe dried out a little, slightly brown even, but still there, plus olives, herbs, some subtle brett. Is it more fun than a Barral of monkeys? Not quite but a nice drink — 6 years ago

Definitely fresh and fruity. It's light and sweet also. Kind of a pineapple sweet taste. And smooth. — 9 years ago
