3/6/2009 - Bryan wrote: 92 pointsThis wine was not decanted and the aroma of soft strawberrys, spice and cherries float gentely into your nose; palate was exceedingly "round" and/or full with soft red cherries, berry and strawberry and soft tannins and spice with a nice aftertaste. Acid was well balanced. |

12/27/2007 - Bryan wrote: 93 pointsI love this wine as I have been a buyer since the 2002 vintage (which I scored a 95 along with RP etc.) the 2004 was passed through an aireation device into a decanter for 1 hour the nose is intense with ripe dark fruits, tobacco, oak and spice on the palate the wine is vicous and soft with bing cherrys, rasberrys, and other dark fruits, dusty spice akin to Rutherford dust like component and well balanced and a nice long finish; cheers to Mark Herald and Hestan vineyards. (nice bounce back from 2003 vintage which I rated 89-91) |

3/2/2007 - Bryan wrote: 90 pointsDrank from 1.5ml that was purchased and picked up from winery. I agree with Mr. T as this seemed like a French bordeaux; very soft with subtle fruit but not much going on with seconday flavors or attributes. just Ok to good. |

2002 Bressler Cabernet SauvignonSt. Helena more |
6/16/2006 - Bryan wrote: 93 pointsOpened and did the bottle shake method. The nose was full of candied fruit , oak, blackberries, black cherries and spice, with the fruit, oak and spice very nicely integreated into the wine with a soft mouth-feel (not a coating) and a nice finish--nicely rounded-- 93+ |

2003 Gemstone FacetsNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/12/2006 - Bryan wrote: 92 pointsThis wine was decanted and vigerously swirled and left to open for 1 hour. The nose was muted but after an hour revealed nice spice, darker fruits, subtle oak all brought together on the palate nicely (round) nice soft mouth-feel and again Paul makes an excellent second wine. This wine could evolve into 93+ with further ageing. |

4/25/2006 - Bryan wrote: 93 pointsBeautiful wine, very dark in color almost PS like. Nose of dark fruit and cassis with nice red fruits and some toast some lovely "dust" with a definate appearance of a Howell mnt. or Stag's leap appl. ; on palate this wine is awsome with fruit taking "front court" but not overly sweet, a balanced wine with a powerful approach but a sexy side and nice finish---93 (wife rated this a 94 and really loved this) |

4/25/2006 - Bryan wrote: 93 pointsThis wine was extrodinary with purity and clarity that is typ. of white Burgundy. Drunk from 375ml in reidel Montrachet stems. Awsome nose of citris, grapfruit (when warmer), lemon zest, strong caramel and butterscotch with light mineral and soil components. The palate was soft and balanced with all the flavors cascading down with the caramel and butterscotch taking front and formost with an exceedingly long finish 93-94 (firm) |

3/25/2006 - Bryan wrote: 90 pointsI love this wine maker. Earthy and thoughful vintner and family. This wine's nose expresses the terra very well with citrus, and lemon zest, stone and oak and smoke and balanced. Not as round and lush as a Grand Cru but for $30 a great value 90pts. |

We were the guests of Olivier Leflaive , for a day, where we started the day at his "table du Olilvier Leflaive" where we enjoyed a lunch prepared around the numerous white Burgundy wines of O. Leflaive. We have been in contact with his direct shipping agent to the US and we have had 3 cases of Grand Cru's shipped directly to our home. |
