A huge wine. Lots of dark fruit and a hint of cassis on the nose. Still tannic and dark - lots of time left. Worked well with game meat and Cornish hen. — 5 years ago

Stunningly good cool climate SB. Crystalline and pure, zippy and intense minerality. Great weight, styled like a classic Sancerre or Pouilly Fume. Long elevage. Chestnut and acacia. Vineyards sit on the slopes above apple orchards. Very steep terrain. Phoenollically ripe. Delicious. — 7 years ago

One of my very favourite producers. Quite dark colour in keeping with its youth. The nose is a bit shy, and a bit boozy - at 14%abv it’s no lightweight but the alcohol is more pronounced on the nose than the palate. Opens up to lashings of red and black fruit and very true to type and terroir, fairly long finish. Perhaps I’m spoiled, but the 2014 isn’t for me in the same league with some of their other vintages (09 and 10, for example), and the Bannockburn is not in the same league as their single vineyard bottles which I’ve been fortunate to try recently (Cornish Point and Calvert Block). A very fine wine, but not as great as I remember. $53 at NSLC Port. — 7 years ago

Couldn't decide whether I like it. It's quite sweet when chilled but when warmer became quite cognacish. Smooth and very full bodied. Went beautifully with the Cornish hen — 8 years ago

9.1/10 Colours of plum and auburn through the light. Taste and nose is orchards. Predominantly apricot. Classic Bordeaux. — 6 years ago

This was amazing. I’ve never had anything like it. The story told to me about this liquor is that the fruit comes from old old orchards on or near the Chave estate. Apricot trees used to be a big crop for the region a long time ago! this is a sublime drink — 6 years ago

For our thanksgiving dinner at home. Asian flavored Cornish hens. Complexity. Small bubbles. Fruity but not too sweet. — 7 years ago

Omg, Becky, look at that Graves. It’s so full and lush and after decanting for a while it gets so ROUND 🍑 Like whoa 😲So, so delicious. Ripe citrus and melon with notes of cream and curd. Like summer in the orchards with friends and pastry. — 8 years ago

Fantastic! Earthy and well balanced... Needed a little time in a decanter but opened up brilliantly. Chosen for us by the MS at the Stafford, Gino Nardella, for courses of Cornish lamb and pork. Loved it. — 9 years ago

Good, tart, pear and citrus, moderate leesiness. A very solid Cornish champers. Might seem severe next to a Veuve a liquor and a bit simple compared to a Fidele. — 9 years ago
