Had trouble with getting the cork out as it broke and had to push it inside. After decanting through cheesecloth straining cork pieces the wine was light smooth and went down like water in a good way. I had expected more power but the lightness was refreshing. Flavors of lemongrass and light citrus but not at all tart. Delicious

Perfectly balanced and enjoyable with swordfish. Clarity of expression, wonderful color, clean and flavorful with an appropriate finish for a commune wine.

Super creamy. Nothing really distinctive about it, but we enjoyed this wine immensely...drank in the 60 degree range. Not sure this goes anywhere from here and would drink if you have them. Not one I would search out, but glad to have had it nonetheless.

Interesting bottle that has been in the stash for a few years. Have to say not overwhelmed on opening, perhaps too cold?
It's big though and full bodied. Incredibly spicy yet clean and not cloying from the oak. Good acidity.
Really good burgundy fruit, slightly smoky, very rich. Very primary.
A little linear though with none of the subtleties I would expect of such a wine, aged well with this pedigree.
Hmmm - too young ( i think so) or too generic!

The wife likes these cold...it just kills me! Give this baby some air and let it warm up a bit and give it a try. Much more open, fruity, and giving.
