Start of the holiday season. I’m kind of disappointed with this. It came offf as flat almost boring. Just a hint of lemon but mostly bread. Age was not kind to this. — a month ago

Definitely a wine that needs to be served closer to room temperature than the fridge and let breathe just a bit. Complex bouquet comes alive as it warms with key lime pie, caramel apples, white flowers, and Chantilly cream underlaid by chalky marl aromas. Awesome, but then again, you expect that in this price range from a premier cru. — 2 months ago

Purplish in color with a reddish rim.

Nice nose and medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing raspberries, red cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Single Vineyard Mourvedre from Bandol is rich and fruit forward. Elegant and easy drinking.

Already delicious, although still very young, and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.

Nicely balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 85% Mourvèdre, with Grenache and Cinsault. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Crisp, citrusy and with great acidity and freshness. This is one of the best and finest blanc de blancs from an independent grower we know: Rodolphe Peters does truly great champagne. — 3 months ago

Wanted something to go with carnitas tonight. Not sure if this will pair well, but it is very tasty. I stole a premature sip while the meat cooks. Lots and lots of berries, tart, blue and red. I smell Syrah. Bright acidity, medium tannins. Terroir, stone. It feels a little Old World.

Love this champagne. I think my last bottle of it

A lot of finesse and very smooth. Drinking from a red burgundy glass.

Has a nice consistent sweetness to it that is balanced by a citrus flavor such that it’s a pleasant sweetness and not sugary.

Delicious — 6 days ago

Lovely, sweet mature fruit (dried redfruits), there might be a touch of Brett (but less than the 1995 Beaucastel I posted last week), suave and complex on the palate, lingering finish, excellent Chateauneuf-du-Pape at its peak!! — a month ago

It’s that time again- the NY wine spectator event.
Always a great event except this year that did not have several of the first growths and they upped the price!! Bad combo!! — 2 months ago

v18. Wow! Extremely good! Soft orange blossom and fusel oil nose. Luscious Granny Smith apple and lime zest fruit. Bright, long, crisp, slight effervescent and oily finish. Enjoyable! — 2 months ago

Used the Durand on the cork - soaked to the edge. Decanted for 2 hours.

This wine had some gaminess. Smooth. Fruit was a bit wild and overpowered by the savory flavors.

Paired well with the chicken skewers and onions. Needed complex flavors in the food to pair well.

Good but quite a bit below the Beaucastel — 2 months ago
