A little toward the semi-sweet but still a crispness and great lychee fruit throughout. — 4 years ago
Rich and beautifully balanced — 6 years ago
Perfect on a warm night outside. Complex and crunchy but very easy to enjoy. — 7 years ago
Aromas of fruit compote. Strong tannins, vine, but fresh. — 8 years ago
Combines a lot of wine profiles in this blend. Fruity without being overly sweet. Healthy amount of tannins. Reminds me of a Barbera d’asti maybe, but with a Syrah mouthfeel. Andre Mack knows what he is doing. — 4 years ago
The 2012 Cathiard Aux Reignots (along with Malconsorts and Petits Monts, my favorite 1er cru Vosne vineyard), is much more masculine and dark fruited than the MG. Really a great side by side. There is some reduction and prevalent new oak, but there is just such depth and structure to this wine and it’s destined to live for the long haul. But unlike how reticent many 12’s can be right now, as the reduction dissipates, it offers a great deal of pleasure. Reignots is really a special vineyard. — 4 years ago
Initially heavy on the tart cherry and cola flavors. Over an hour, the acidity mellowed and this became fuller — 6 years ago

No. 2 in the Vosne Romanee bracket. Some spirity oak notes. A sweetness to the palate with drying fine Tannins. Re- tasting:- Not quite up to the others in this bracket in terms of weight. A little alcoholic and clumsy in this company. My least pointed at 95 points but still a Gold Medal! — 8 years ago


Slightly oxididative nose. Fine, almost creamy bubbles. A bit of lemon tart. — 8 years ago
Weirdly, tomato jam, apples, and even reminds me of a peppery arugula.
Refreshing. Zippy. Stay with me here — the Gatorade of champagne in terms of quenching thirst.
The taste buds seize up, stand up straight. Bouquet translates to taste with a bit more pear and still a welcome subtle pepper quality on the endnote. — 4 years ago
Nose of cranberry, cherry candy, black pepper and mint(?). Bright and juicy on the palate with tart red fruits and a touch of spice. Good acidity and a kiss of tannins.
Just what the doctor ordered for a summertime red. Lovely stuff. — 4 years ago
Very good white wine. Doesn't have that artificial taste some whites do. — 4 years ago
Half bottles make for a wonderful treat. Fall yellow fruits and just a touch of toast. — 6 years ago
The estate dates back to the Crusades, and Scottish navigator, George Smith, the owner in the 18th century. He was followed by M. Duffour-Dubergier, Mayor of Bordeaux, and then Louis Eschenauer, a famous wine shipper. In 1990, Daniel and Florence Cathiard now own the estate. Dark plum red with dark berry fruit aromas, herb and spice from young Cab vines. On the palate complex sweet black fruit flavors and cacao notes. Firm tannins, rich and full, lingering, mineral ending, unlike the ‘10 wait a few years. — 8 years ago
Perfect with grilled seafood — 8 years ago
It's been about 10 years since I last tasted this, this is the 12/06 disgorgement and while the bead is barely detectable, the sap has remained, so what you have is a very vinous, juicy champagne that needs more time for the sweetness to taper off. The nose is pronounced intoxicating white truffles, sherry and agrumes, with some anise that I get from Beaufort. For now i say hold. — 9 years ago

What a saga to get this delivered to me in NJ. Worth it. Love Andre Mack. Love his winery. Love this wine. — 4 years ago
