Rustic tannin, high acidity, reminds me of Italian Sangiovese blend — 8 years ago
First brewing for this abbey of St Wandrille in the north east of France, very nice soft beer with a beautiful ginger "ambrée" colour. — 8 years ago
Pleasing but tight red fruit on the nose, cherry and cranberry most notably, told me that this should be a wine that I should be drinking some time in the next 5 years. But my sister's birthday was reason enough to crack this open and pair with coq au vin. — 9 years ago

Searing acidity. Green apples,
Meyer Lemon and hints of white flowers. Palate-cleansing, refreshing Chardonnay with true complexity. Oak is virtually undetectable. Lovely wine. — 7 years ago
Tonight we have opened the 2009 Chateau La Tour du Pin. This is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. This property was owned by Antoine Mouiex from 1947 to 2006 when the owners of Cheval Blanc purchased it from the Mouiex family. The name was officially changed in 2008 from La Tour du Pin Figeac to Chateau La Tour du Pin. The same Technical Team responsible for producing wine of Cheval Blanc is now in charge of wines at La Tour du Pin. I am inclined just from this fact alone to be keeping my eyes on this Chateau. If you are a fan of Cheval Blanc this is where you can get your bang for the buck.
On the nose there is vibrant aromas of wonderful black fruit, black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant and licorice.
On the palate is good black fruit, black cherry, blackberry, black plum, green bell pepper, herbal notes and nice minerality.
The wine is medium to full bodied with medium acidity and smooth medium sandy tannins that is well balanced and has a pleasingly long finish. I am truly enjoying this wine that is brightening up my weekend. Please be safe and have a continued great weekend. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 8 years ago
Rolle aka vermentino. Very assertive upfront expression - big nose for a white (corn?), slight sweetness. Lychee, white peach. Stole the show in a vermentino night vs Antoine Arena & Yves Leccia. — 9 years ago

Weird and wonderful. Notes of apple, honey, pineapple. Medium bodied and unctuous. Sold as reminiscent of Condrieu, which is pretty accurate. Great value — 10 years ago

like a classic syrah it’s full bodied but still tastes like berries and is perfect for any kind of casual evening i.e. slumber parties — 7 years ago
You can go wrong with Bordeaux this was great. — 9 years ago
Starts off round and fruity and a little saline, then in comes lots of lovely acid, sour apple drops, zingy long juicy finish. — 9 years ago

Another great rosé for light snacks! A little on the dry side for my taste, but still a nice find that I'll repeat! Really lively and crisp, this one surprised me a little - really turned a fairly bland, black-pepper linguini experience around! — 12 years ago

Wildly unusual beer. Almost flat. Nice musty nose and sherry barrel character. Like a mix of the good dog and an amantillado sherry. I think it’s unique and awesome, but mixed reviews from the losers I have to hang out with. — 7 years ago
