Mild fizz and big notes of dark fruit. Blackberries, figs, and some light tannins. Definitely a more serious wine than what Meinklang typically churns out. Tasty. — 4 years ago

Stone fruits and good acid. Tastes like a pear tart. (But without the sweetness.) — 5 years ago
Lean and mean. 1st day had some pleasant reductive funk, day 2 had blown off. I’d compare to cru bojo, bough more savory/less fruit. 10% alcohol. Tasty. 👍 — 7 years ago

Beautiful pale salmon pink color with very fine, persistent, fast bubbles. Gentile strawberry and mineral nose. Crisp and dry with creamy bubbles and wonderful, fresh acidity. Soft flavors of red currant and strawberry. Finish finish is long, crisp and elegant. — 8 years ago

Funky very orange and pungent — 7 months ago
Quite austere, maybe a few years past its prime, nose redolent of Grenache, but palate very restrained, reminiscent of faded fruit. Quite tannic actually. J says you can really sense the “vielles vignes”. Very good but would love to try something newer, maybe a 2015 — 8 months ago
Easy drinking and pairs easily with a variety of food. Has a little zip to it. — 4 years ago
I loved this. Very concentrated. Kind of like that moment in the wine’s life before it bursts open and moves to the secondary stage. Tension. Would hold subsequent bottles to see where it goes. — 5 years ago
Nice and fresh, another bottle proving 2016 is better than 2015 to my palate in Beaujolais. — 6 years ago
Velvety lil Costco gem — 7 years ago
This wine is fresh with dark fruit and also some pepper. It is medium body not that much tannins but are very drinkable right from the start! It deserves this high rating due to its low price.
For fellow swedes I recommend trying (at least) one bottle (nr 2861 Systembolaget). — 8 years ago

Très joli vin de soif! Perlant, frais, et très agréable. Belle découverte... — 10 years ago
Dank, deep rose with classic Austrian red - blaufrankisch, st. Laurent, Zweigelt - notes. Plenty to mull over and also heavy enough for roasted/grilled meats. — 7 months ago
Richer style. Like a hug. Very brioche nose. Body and faint sweetness make this suitable for heavier foods or dessert. An aperitif not so much. — 4 years ago
Still youthful red ruby color. Mid weight on palate with slightly tart overtones — 4 years ago

10 August 2017. The Four Horsemen, Brooklyn, NY. — 7 years ago
Millésime 2015!! Magnifique! Matière mur, corps gourmand et élancé. Éclat aromatique passant par les fruits noirs, les épices douces, la liqueur de fruit. J'ai adoré. — 7 years ago
Fruit bomb!, funky underbrush, herbal, smooth tannins, medium medium plus body. — 9 years ago
Give this one a little time. But it may be THE (or one of certainly) benchmark wines for the appellation. — 9 years ago
