I was really disappointed with this bottle beyond the smoke discussion; it was dull, medium bodied with some fruit and spice but no depth; nothing like a CDP, more like a cote du Rhône frankly. And not at the level of other Pott wines.

Flawed, not correct - Something wrong here. Will alert the winery. Keeping the cork on this one.

These chardonnays are awesome exactly three years old. Right up my alley with lemon curd and oil, ginger spice and creamy texture.

Drinking well with notes of mocha and plums and nice lengthy finish, done in an elegant style and certainly not over the top but hardly a 100 pointer. A victim of its own success. The increasing price point is a deterrant from enjoying future vintages.

Definitely more restrained and acid and spice drivern complementing the red fruit

Sangiovese really stands out, plums, berries, powerful, high acidity

Moldy drenched cork, bright red fruit but soft and virtually no tannins, nice acidity, pleasant but little to no depth

Wonderful aged barolo with a lot of typicity, tar, anise, red fruit, mature

this wine towered over the 2007 debacle - lemony, zesty, spice and honey with thick oily palate

Awesome wine, TRB nailed it; cornucopia of fruit, citrus, balance, length, verve and bright acidity

Still youthful and tight with a grippines to it, sour cherries and cranberries, lots of acid and persistence

lovely, coming into its own and more approachable, this wine expresses dark fruit, cherries, and coffee but in a more elegant way then most cabs

Drank better than my first bottle in october. Berries, plums, mocha, full bodied, a little drying on the finish accentuated by the oak.

let breathe for 2 hours - opened up with dark fruit of dark cherries, blackberries and currants, trace of herbs and subtle green pepper, distinctive and not displeasing. medium to full bodied, balanced tannins and flavorful - neither rustic nor overripe. well worth it.

took at least 4 hours to open up, initially was tight and had a 'stemmy' taste but later on the fruit blossomed, the tannins arrived and the greenness subsided. needs time.

softened a little but remains heavy, tannic and acidic; mint, herbs and chocolate predominate with short finish.
