A lovely hand blown pre-coop bottle. A seriously dense wine! Nose is a little closed but opens up in the glass to reveal apricots, honey, marmalade, soaked sultanas, christmas pudding, and layers of complex floral notes. There is some acidity at the back but it's the sweetness that kicks you in the mouth; a dense, viscous, almost creamy sweetness that just hoes on and on. Perhaps that's my only criticism; that the sugar is a bit overpowering. There's great depth though, and it easily carried the alcohol, despite achieving what's likely to be 18-19% (not stated in the label, which simply reads "SAMOS"!). A phenomenal surprise and one of the best fortified wines of my life! — 9 years ago

Wonderful pear, honey and apple blossom notes. Initial sweet fruit approach with a cooperative acidity that glides the flavors across your palette.
Bright green apple intertwines easily with hits of orange/lime zest and candied melon.
Really fun wine! — 10 years ago

A Rose to imbibe with the in laws! We had a good conversation over this Rose that was made from this organic cooperative. Beautiful and bright; this 3 liter box under $30 was perfect! — 11 years ago

Garnacha y Carignan. It's made by a cooperative of local producers, and the price is very interesting: €8,50 at the wine shop. Very good. #DWCC — 13 years ago

We'll see if Delectable can figure out the name of this wine - I had to create it on CellarTracker. Made by a social interest cooperative in Costers del Segre, just west of Barcelona, this blend of Cava grapes (Chardonnay + Macabeo) is focused and beautiful. A swirling array of flavours, largely not fruit-based -- talcum, buttered popcorn, rubber, varnish, baked pear, cinnamon, mineral, celery -- yes, I swear, all in the same wine -- then scorching straight-line acidity on the back end of the palate that carries the wine through into a long, herbal-tinged finish. Somehow takes an intense approach to a fairly neutral set of flavours. Stunning. — 13 years ago

A solid go-to for rosé champagne. Cooperative made, tart cherry and a hint of toast. — 10 years ago

A solid and deep Corbieres from the small and unique cooperative of Castelmaure. Earthy, herby with scents of warm bush, thyme and dry leaves. Dried figs and spices complete the picture and add character. Full-bodied, rich and deep on the palate with fine and ripe tannins. medium acidity. A wine for food. — 11 years ago

Exuberant and full bodied blend of local Gros Manseng and other indigenous varieties from the much lesser-known South West of France. Forget all those CH's and SB's and submerge into the unknown! Dense-rich-textural, fresh, complex and aromatic.
It has what is probably the most engaging and surprising wine label I have come across.
A part of the exciting portfolio of Producteurs Plaimont, the biggest and most successful cooperative of the area.
