flawed
AWFUL experience. Cork completely disintegrated. We opened a 2007 BV Georges de Latour later this same year with the same problem, and a third bottle that my dad opened (from 2009) cracked in half but luckily the wine was still potable. I emailed BV directly with a receipt showing it being purchased directly from the vineyard in 2010, yet BV will do absolutely NOTHING to make this right. Will NEVER purchase a BV wine again.

AWFUL experience. Opened Christmas Eve and the cork completely disintegrated. This is the 2nd bottle of BV that we opened this year with the same problem, and a third bottle that my dad opened (from 2009) cracked in half but luckily the wine was still potable. I emailed BV directly with pictures and explanation, along with a side-by-side of a 2007 Anderson's Conn Valley bottle that was purchased around the same time and stored along side the BV and opened on the same night with NO problem with the cork. And BV will do absolutely NOTHING to make this right. Will NEVER purchase a BV wine again.

Ben contacted us and has now sent us a new vintage of Georges de Latour for our troubles. I only wish customer service had done this prior to having to spend time on negative reviews.

Delicious, I don't typically enjoy Brunello, but this was delicious. Plenty of mature fruit on the nose, smooth but tasty finish.

Complex, robust dark fruits, after being open a few hours the finish rounded out nicely!

Very dry sparkling pinot noir. Was generally well liked, although definitely not a good value for the price point.

Full bodied cab, needs an hour or 2 to open before tasting its potential. Complex finish, like this wine at the price I got it at.

Slightly sweeter than expected but a very tasty accompaniment to a delicious meal at our favorite restaurant. Bright fruit notes with some spice up front and a smooth finish. Different from most other Zins...more like a cab blend than a full Zin.

We enjoyed this wine over a nice meal to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The wine paired nicely with the scallops and was fairly simple and mild.

As always with the wines from nakedwines.com it was a very decent wine for the price point of $6. Would pay up to $12 for it. Other than that, not much to write about.

Drank with my Dad and brother. My dad says, "this wine reminds him what a good bottle of wine tastes like!" A nice, dark red with hints of dark cherry and chocolate.

Very enjoyable rich cab with pasta dinner for my brothers birthday. Not overly fruity but bursting with flavor and very smooth finish.

Extremely dry red that we drank with Passover dinner. Did not enjoy it much as I tend to like fuller bodied and slightly fruitier cabs. For a kosher wine, was decent but I would not buy again.

Pleasant but young. Could have benefitted from opening up at least an hour. Somewhat heavy. Will hold the others for at least a year.

Very good. Full body. Private should have decanted for an hour or two for the full effect of flavors.

Pretty freaking good! Very smooth from start to finish. Ruby color. Dark cherries and plum. Not very tannic or earthy. Slightly sweet but in a good way.
