So Im inebriated right now, drinking alone as usual. Just made a fortune in Bitcoin..so fsck it, French wine in Bangkok right? Earth, mushroom, black fruit, choc, vanilla, and a hint of vagina. Med tannin, med acid, served at 60F. La Cosa Nostra resto in Bangers, solo. Excellent Cab Sav. I fucking love France right now. — 7 years ago

6.8

My first Sauternes, so safe to ignore this review...its just for me. Light straw color. Notes of floral and floor cleaner. Tried the classic pairing with Roquefort and Stilton. I get the pairing, but this wine just wasnt for me. A bit disappointed, as I've heard so must about Sauternes. — 8 years ago

Very grapey when poured right after opening. Was better a few days later. Very dark, near black. Uninspiring, boring. Probably ok with cheeses or cheesecake. Wont buy again. Found in Pattaya Thailand at Friendship supermarket. Limited options here. — 7 years ago

9.1

Excited about this one. Light-bodied, clear rim, translucent. Alcohol on the nose (13% abv), along with black cherry, earth, lemon, orange. Tannin is medium-minus, acidity is medium-plus. Very pleasing. I do think the acidity is a bit overbalanced. — 8 years ago

This is a Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo blend...No Garnacha (Grenache) in this wine. This is a dark, full-bodied, med- tannin, low acid, spice, cinnamon, chocolate tobacco, black fruit. Another value wine..get what I can get here in Thailand. Not a country for wine. Would definitely hav this again. — 7 years ago

This is a left bank Cab, good deal for $17. Med acid, med tannin, not much complexity. Good for picnics, as a gateway red. Will perhaps get better with age. — 8 years ago
