Dark wood trimmings, dead flowers, lots of medieval energy in this one. Blackberry and black plum with hints of clove and cinnamon on the nose. Very earthy and mineral with a nice grip that begs for food. Layered and complex. — 4 years ago

Located on the outskirts of the medieval town of Saint-Emilion, at the southern foot of the slope. A blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Cab Franc &10% Cab Sauv, aged in 60% new oak, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruit accompanied by cedar & spice. The palate shows fresh ripe dark berry fruits, cacao, tobacco and espresso notes. Well balanced, perfect tannins, a joy to drink but cellar until 2022 for a better experience.

Fleshy and exotic - this Echezeaux tastes of macerated blood orange peel, ripe cherry pit, pomegranate and medieval spices. What a pleasure to taste this DRC, one decade after its birth. — 8 years ago

Fascinating wine, so rustic and earthy, 180 degrees off the "bling" concept of champagne, this wine goes to a subterranean place, goes back in time, back to some medieval or Roman time of folks close to the soil, folks who know of the plants, the moon, the rhythms, this wine is deep. — 9 years ago

Well deserved rating! This wine has a peppery aroma upon opening, but once it airs, pure chocolate in both aroma and taste. Smooth tannins with a lovely body to it! — 5 years ago

Opulent. Imagine yourself eating at a table with all the dishes that you’ve eaten over the course of life. It’s a long table, like medieval style; all the trimmings, all your friends with you. This is a wine that stands up to that night. It’s enveloping. The lights go out and this shines. — 6 years ago

Chateau is located in the Minervois region of France’s Languedoc, midway between Narbonne and the Medieval town of Carcassonne. Deep rich red with aromas of dark fruit and forest notes. On the palate plum and blueberry flavors, little spice and toasty oak notes. Big firm tannins, medium finish, savory, ending with mineral and fruit character. — 7 years ago

Fascinating, natural, old world, rustic, medieval, cab. Doesn't resemble a cab, and once I got over that I loved it. — 8 years ago

Tempranillo and 10% Syrah from vineyards in Tudela de Duero and aged for 16 months. Mauro was created in the 1970's by Luciano Suarez, specializing in the restoration of medieval monuments, and Felix Choque, cousin of Mariano Garcia, the former winemaker at Vega Sicilia. Flavors of raspberry and cherry some leather and earthy pepper. The wine had good balance with oak on fine tannins. Lingering finish ending with earthy tones. — 8 years ago

Well rounded, almost sweet (on colour, nose, and palate), and well-tuned. Butter, apricot blossoms, hint of vanilla; balanced and slightly pungent - like the cutlery at a medieval banquet: not clean, but coherent. — 9 years ago

A classic Italian white named after the medieval village of Soave. The varietal is Gargantua which flourishes in the rolling vineyards surrounding the village of Soave.
This fragrant white has elegant hints of Myer Lemon and Passion Fruit. Finishing scents of spring grass and wild flowers with a great acidity and a dry saline finish. — 4 years ago

The label reminds me of one of those medieval times places but if they served this I’d certainly brave it. — 7 years ago

The Mullins family made their first vintage of Balo in 2009, after several years of selling their fruit. Following a string of all-star winemakers (Jason Drew and Anthony Filiberti, Alex Crangle is now at the helm, crafting tremendous Pinots from their estate property. The 2015 offers a juicy and broad expression of this middle sector of the Anderson Valley. Concentrated and pliant black fruit flavor - huckleberry, ginger, black cherry, sarsaparilla, and tarragon - it tastes medieval in its primal, earthen tones. — 8 years ago

An order of Carthusian monks first found their way to Scala Dei in 1194 at the invitation of Alfonso I. The name "Scala Dei" means "stairway to heaven," and a visit through these transportive ruins remains a critical first stop if ever visiting the region. While monks no longer work the cellars, the Scala Dei wines remain solid - and often a relative value in comparison to those who've arrived in the last half century. Prior is Scala Dei's mid-tier of their three Priorat reds. High octane flavors of licorice, pepper, black plum, violet, and blueberry find balance with spicier, more elegant tones of sandalwood, rosewater, frankincense and gingerbread. While 15% abv, you’d never know per the bright acidity and chalky tannins - yet there remains, a warming medieval intrigue that conjures romantic images of hearthstones and velvet. A nice showing from Priorat’s pioneering monastery. — 8 years ago
