  This wine needs lots of air. I would consider opening this the day before and leaving it in the cellar. Or double decanting this wine hours before drinking. My own experience after 24 hours and drinking what’s left of 1/3 bottle highlights how much more refined and balanced the wine was on the 2nd day!

  Holiday Wine Party at Tom & Bruna's (Edina, MN): Ok coolest wine I have tasted this year. Color looks like a 50 year old wine. Wow dried flowers, floral, crushed pepper, Garrigue, anise and earth. Super complex wine and polarizing.

  I’ve had many vintages of this one. This is one of the best. Absolutely gorgeous now and will stay like that for many years

  Oh, that Reynaud nose. White pepper, strawberries and raspberries, bitter garrigue, hints of dried fruits and an earthiness. Medicine cabinet, cough drops, mint. With air comes sweet, Burgundian cherries and sweet licorice. The nose gets even warmer, more hospitable, candied, divine. Rich mouthfeel, but lifted. Warm, but cool and bright. A wine of antinomies. Cherry liqueur, strawberry and raspberry, warm lingering sweetness. Medicinal herbs, dusty pepper. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

  Dank piney herb jams smothered in strawberry pulp. Governed by fossilized tars and pungent roots.
