Ahhh!!! Can't think of a better N/V Rosé champagne to toast Bastille Day! A little fun fact, Napoleon celebrated all his victories with Moet & Chandon and always at Moet & Chandon. Happy Bastille Day...Frenchmen & Americans alike! Happy 100th! Cheers! 💥 🎉🍾 — 8 years ago
Bought at Raymond in Napa. Straightforward fruit profile. Good everyday cabernet. I was a sucker for the label, but wine was definitely drinkable. — 9 years ago
Smooth sweet and cheap — 9 years ago
Great fruity taste without it being overly sweet. Add some OJ and you've got yourself an amazing mimosa! — 10 years ago
Paired with strawberry Napoleon. — 10 years ago
Looks like tea... Sweet grapes and bitter oak... Very rich in taste and full bodied. Smooth texture and the longest drying finish ever. Amazing! — 11 years ago

Woo hoo! Excellent 12 year old Armagnac. — 7 years ago
Full and delicious: peach, white flowers, some musk. Honey. Unique bitter bite on the finish. Yes, Napoleon loved Ligurian Pigato. — 7 years ago
Violet nose. Cherry, tar, beautiful tartness and very fine tannin. Lightweight frame but doesn't slouch it might be like a Napoleon complex wine. Beautiful fruit presence but an underlying savoriness gives seriousness. — 9 years ago
Wonderful hop balanced pale ale - has the thin mouthfeel of a session ale — 9 years ago
Loved it! Would definitely try again. — 9 years ago
Smooth, round, long, oaky — 10 years ago
Given to me as a gift 12 years ago and just finishing the bottle now so not a huge Cognac fan. However this final tasting I could pick up the nuances of pear skin and apple over the alcohol. Starting to see why people pay serious money for ancient cognacs. 17.5. — 10 years ago
Delicious fruit on the nose, medium body, nice heat. — 10 years ago
Delicious! Reserved only for those who have the right palate. — 11 years ago
My father-in-law is the only other person in my family who enjoys drinking Sherry. We put a dent in this fantastic bottle of Hidalgo "Napoleon" Amontillado this afternoon. — 11 years ago

A horrific day is coming to a close. This beautiful 2006 champagne is consoling. Fresh crisp apples with your typical champagne aroma. As Napoleon said: In victory you deserve champagne, in defeat, you need it — 9 years ago
Amazing colour and depth.
Interestingly different to its Hennessy equivalent. — 9 years ago
Never been a dark liquor kinda gal, but this is quite tasty. Cheers! — 10 years ago
Thick and unctuous, prune napoleon of pickled cherry, acidity driven with the the right balance of fruit n thick tannins, unusually ready for a Taurasi this young, great example , i would drink it with a boar or goat ragu' or a piece of Testun next time — 10 years ago
This is a review of the Napoleon, not the XO.
It is, however, a match for the XO of the big brands. A tremendous depth of complex flavours and remarkable smoothness.
This is fantastic value for money - a really classy cognac. — 10 years ago
Crisp, acidic splash of Semillon//Sauvignon Blanc bright and refreshing paired perfectly with SoundSide's beet & turnip Napoleon smothered with freshly cracked local Blue Crab:):)! Righteous! — 11 years ago
Named after an old general that fought with Napoleon — 11 years ago
