Dark fruit, meaty slightly, some red peppers too. Palate is soft for a young Alliet, open knit, nice fruit and tannins that are approchable, the balance is good and the elegance is there already.

Beau vin très ouvert et assez approchable déjà, fruits noirs, poivrons rouges et un peu viandeux mais à peine. Bel équilibre et des tannins agréables déjà en jeunesse, très bien. — 3 years ago

Just love this wine, great value, can’t get enough! Belle Pente (bell-pont') means "beautiful slope" - for their 70 acre hillside vineyard & winery site in Willamette Valley. Bright Ruby red with aromas of red fruits, herb spices and hints of blossom notes. On the palate strawberry and cherry flavors, slight sweet undertones, herb notes and smooth tannins. Well balanced on a long finish ending with mineral herb notes. Nice!! Great value. — 4 years ago

Citrus peel nose. Orange / tangerine. Soft and giving on the palate and creamy on the palate. Elegant. No heat on the finish. Probably the best expression of VS Cognac I've tried. — 9 years ago

Dark fruit, a touch oaky still but still a medium bodied wine, fruit forward with tannins that have a nice texture and some richness to the palate. Very nice QPR.

Fruits noirs, mures, boisé pas tout à fait digéré mais une bouche de corps moyen assez avenante avec un beau fruité assez riche, bouche savoureuse avec des tannins qui ont une belle texture. Très bien pour le prix. 89-90

Magnum of 87 D'yquem drinking well now; reflects the soggy harvest conditions though the 200 ha site on the top of the hiil escaped most of the drizzle to ripen this more dilute but easy drink; not lacking sugar, just botrytis intensity; says winemaker Sandrine; deep not long; #sauternes #dyquem #sémillon #sauvignonblanc #bordeaut — 9 years ago

Wonderfully evolved, Time to drink over the next few years - fruits very pretty & the raw natural character of this Grand Cru site is starting to tenderize. All in proportion - fruit earth wood acid tannin --- but it's time to drink them up. — 7 years ago
