Only a few sips left. Pairs well with air and probably fatty foods but I only bought one bottle so just enjoying. so glad I don’t have to share. — 6 years ago

I was so close to opening some 2016 Beast today, but went old schoolStunning Northern Rhone Syrah. Beautifully balanced, very smooth on opening. Even better the following day (half bottle each time). Even at £15, good value, courtesy of Tesco. — 9 years ago

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Amount disgorged: 16,388 bottles in October 2008 - Dosage: 4g/l (No Reserve Wine)
Winery Notes:
"The 1990 Vintage is a blend of 17 different Crus, all classified as Grands and Premiers Crus.
Black grapes make up two thirds of the blend: 56% Pinot Noir, from the Montagne de Reims and the Grande Vallée de la Marne, and 11% Meunier, from the Premiers Crus in the west of the Montagne de Reims.
The blend is completed with 33% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and, to a lesser extent, from the Montagne de Reims." — 5 years ago
San antonio bobs steak and chophouse. Darioush was better at that pricepoint. Nuttier and spicier than darioush. — 7 years ago
Deep red cherry with earthy finish. Classic Loire/cab franc. Excellent on opening. — 9 years ago
Earthy, terroir nose. Opened nicely. Palette- enjoyable , long finish, medium tannins . After one hour, improved, earthiness is a nice change from Napa cabs. — 4 years ago

Not quite as yeasty as a rose champagne but quite lovely to celebrate an anniversary — 6 years ago
Aromatic, charred red bell pepper. Extracted, dark, serious. — 7 years ago
This will only get better with age and it’s already terrific. The biggest takeaway for me was the lingering taste of hot chocolate mix; subtle but undeniable. The bouquet is stuffed with cedar shavings, the dark fruit is strong but not obnoxious and the tannins coat the tongue, rather than attack it. — 8 years ago
Wonderful balance of sugar and acid with distinct and delicious apricot. A meal in itself — 9 years ago
