Disagree with AG on this one. We really enjoyed this tonight. Plump, full, rich and delicious. — 6 years ago

Severe cowshit on the nose. I shud have decanted this, but I’m impatient. Barnyard plays out on the palate, too. This is tannic, yet sweet. Structured, with a weighty mouthfeel. Superb finish with notes of cedar, roasted almonds and black cherries. This will be singing 3 years from now. If you like power and exuberance, give Eneo a try.

1 hr. decant & was ready to rock with my Duck 🦆 Dinner 🥘!!! Happy that Gary Pisoni put La Tache cuttings in his dirty underwear in 1983 prior TSA Bullshit & grafted onto vines in his Santa Lucia Highlands vineyard. This “Poor Man’s” La Tache is always Smokin’ great! AG says 95 Points & his review is point on in relationship to the wine. Cheers 🍇🍷👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 — 4 years ago

AG nailed the notes for this wine, so I won’t duplicate. But on the nose and palate, I also detect kirsch liqueur, hints of licorice and anise. This wine has not moved since it was bottled. It presents with purity and power. Easily possesses another 20 years of runway ahead of it. Sheer ecstasy in a glass. My favorite Rhône producer. — 6 years ago

Sour cherry. With plenty of air this gains weight and the tannins are more present. Not as good as AG’s first rating (93) and not as bad as the second rating by AG (87). — 5 years ago

AG gave this 88 pts, indicating that it was overripe and pruney. I get none of that at 12 yrs of age. Nice grip from the tannins and acidity. Quite Burgundian despite its 14.5% abv. Long finish. Really good. — 6 years ago
