Just so pretty, inky in decanter, immediately sported intoxicating notes of cherry, red currant, incense, herbaceousness, bell pepper, leafy greens, musty, earthy, just a whirlwind of aromas at once Bordeaux like with a whiff of southern France. Med weight w/generous extraction & concentration of flavors, secondary flavors really shine making this fantastic food wine… just enough acidity to keep things moving thru generous finish. @Andrew Holod this is one of the estates I visited - great QPR as well. — a year ago

Love this cuvee from Boussey. Stunning nose. So elegant and pure. Haunting florals, cherries, floral and ripe but so detailed. Gorgeous. Licorice. Whirlwind. Great aromas. Juicy and sweet with lovely intensity. Great tannins and refined with a nice rustic hint on the finish. Excellent and compact. — 4 years ago

Pax wanted to pay homage to the southern Rhône valley and he did a damn good job doing it. Whirlwind of Plums, Blackberries, cranberry sauce, fresh cracked pepper. Nice long, acidic finish — 5 years ago

This was just gorgeous - so elegant, so much style, and I believe this will only improve w/age due to impressive concentration & balance. Ripe black & red fruit, whirlwind of tertiary notes - just kept evolving. Smooth, finely grained tannins & suave acidity. — 2 years ago

This Palo Cortado is delish.
Refined, polished, lots of lacquer, wood, secondary flavors. Oranges, nail polish,
a whirlwind of sensory delights.
20° I think and you’d never know, till later.

It has been a whirlwind for three months but, things are starting to slow and the full force of our favorite season is taking hold. So enjoyable that means Champange. Ahh...I’m only kidding myself, it’s always a good time for champagne.

Tonight the BSR is throwing a lot of peach & tangerine along with lean fruits of; black cherries, strawberries, watermelon & cherries. And...always the razor sharp, grippy, powdery, deep penetrating chalkiness. Perfect, lively, acidity and nicely polished, balanced finish.

Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah!!! 🍾🥂🎁⛄️❄️🎄🎅 ⭐️

2018 vintage. Vacation wine!!!! Very welcome in the face of continued uncertainty after such a whirlwind year and a half. Tart cranberry, crabapple, unripe cherry, lime, autumn leaves, dust, black rocks, rosehips, tea. Great alternative for Burgundy lovers. — 3 years ago

Holy underwear!! This. Wine. Rocks. So good on so many levels....Bright and powerful. Yolky but with a swirling whirlwind middle and finish. Vibrant but quite smooth. It has a complexity with a number of flavors - sweet fruit, stony minerals and great grip. Had this with some baked halibut steaks and it was a beautiful experience. — 3 years ago
