Interesting. Reminds me of those little wax filled bottles of liquid candy that I used to eat as a kid. — 6 years ago

Terrific, full-bodied Wine from a classic Gigondas grower (Yves Cheron is the owner of Domaine Grand Montmirail). Irony, meaty nose with roasted herbs and blackberry extract. Bulky in the mouth, with rich, intensely minerally dark flavors. Long finish with youthful but soft tannin. Tad more acidity and this would have been off the charts. — 7 years ago

Paid only $26 in 2016 This wine is outstanding. “Flavors of cassis, cherry, raspberry, and bright pomegranate are intertwined with beautiful crushed rock mineralogy...” - SommSelect Their recommendation to wait to drink between 2019-2021 was spot on. — 4 years ago

Dynamic wine showing a confident and seductive tension of opposites. Garrigue, leather and barnyard dust plays very well with lavender, red berries and black pepper. Displaying noticeable VA and traces of brett, but Old World charm wins the day as this wine really comes together after about 3 hours to reveal silky tannins and supple structure. Very complex and terroir focused bottling that can be enjoyed for less than the price of a typical Côtes du Rhône, making it a true bargain. — 6 years ago

This is massive and needs some air and a few days of being open. We'll revisit tomorrow. — 7 years ago

Dark Ruby with sweet dark fruit aromas and herb spice, a blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre. On the palate dark berry fruits with coffee & cacao on a dusty tannin structure. Lingering finish ending with herb notes. — 7 years ago

Earthy, rich, complex it was perfect timing to open the bottle - nice and mature tannins - even better to taste it on over Gigondas in the Dentelles de Montmirail — 9 years ago

Inky ruby. Assertive dark berry and cherry compote scents are complicated by suggestions of candied flowers, spicecake and licorice. Concentrated yet lively on the palate, offering sappy dark fruit and candied violet flavors that fan out slowly on the back half. Shows very good energy, increasing sweetness and steadily building, chewy tannins on the persistent finish. All concrete. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2020)

Viognier, from cool and high-altitude reaches of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Asian pear, acacia and just enough tartness and pucker to let you know this isn’t bruised, hot-climate, picked-too-late stuff. Impeccably balanced, long, graceful. I’d put this into a northern Rhône tasting anytime. #domainesaintamant #rhône #viognier — 5 years ago

One of our favourites! Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah. So week made you do not notice the 15%. But you DO notice the price. Afraid we cannot afford more. — 9 years ago
