This finished in Cognac barrels. It offers a much drier expression focused on wood characteristics. Savory and firm this would be good with some pate or foie. — 4 years ago

The wines was perfect! It aged so well and showed richness of aromas such as tosted, vanilla, ‘sous bois’, mushrooms, dried berries and figs, and a hint of eucalyptus
The tannins are so velvet, the acidity is refreshing yet and the finish is delicious!

Very good wine!

This bottle was opened several hours prior to dinner. The 2001 Riserva pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe Morello cherry, red flowers, leather, black tea, and a lovely mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, slightly savory and super complex. A textbook Brunello Riserva that leans on the more elegant side of the spectrum. A fabulous pairing with lombo di agnello. Drink now with patience through 2041. — 6 months ago

Big fan of the savory, mineral, muscular, classic expression of this c-h. 85% Syrah 15% Roussanne. Needs time. Tight and restrained. Black olive, iron, plum, earth notes on a salty, mineral frame. Intense and wound up very tight. Very evocative, lovely. — 9 months ago

Very nice Sauternes with delightful balance of fruit, flowers, sweetness and unctuousness, plus sufficient acids to bring it all together. Quite a delicious sipper. This was the very last bottle of Sauternes I could find at my local BevMo in Santa Monica, and it was just a half bottle at that. I should really go back to the Wine House or Wally’s for my wine purchases but this tells me how under appreciated Sauternes is in the U.S. A pity.
I enjoyed the 2019 vintage with homemade chicken liver pâté on toasted brioche. — 5 years ago

Like a deep, spicy apple cider, full of punchy acidity and fragrant, fresh fruit notes that make this a truly distinctive experience. — 6 years ago

Near perfection....smooth butterscotch, carmel, cream with just enough complex apple and cinnamon spice on the nose. Medium body with a finish that lasts for minutes. My wife’s birth year and it’s nearly as impressive as she is. Worth every single penny!!! — 8 years ago
