My favourite Cotes de Bourg wine & after having the yummy 2010 & 14 recently I wondered if a 19 year old top vintage @ £98 would hold well & yes it sure didly 😉 88 points from Parker 🤣 but not worth it’s hefty price tag 🤑

Quite tense&powerful and with the Morstein mineral bite. Great balance between the surprising sweetness to the fruit (peaches & passion fruit) and the steely acidity with a touch to spice in the finish. Drinking very nicely. — 8 years ago

Ah, €8 at the local Coop. It's delectable. Bright fruit, summer cherries, a little spice, but not heavy on the tongue. Overall a gorgeous wine with simple pasta, pork, and just drinking while watching a great spy flick on a chilly winter's evening. — 8 years ago

Yup that's poor Flick with his tongue stuck to the flag pole in a Christmas Story. Perhaps, the best Christmas movie 🎥 🌲 🎅. Another family tradition since it came out. As for the Muga rose, beautiful strawberries, cherries, watermelon, touch of tangerine, nice grainy chalkiness, good presence minerals but not overdone, really nice acidity and round, fresh, ripe, full, polished finish. Don't pull a Flick, it'll ruin your wine palate. — 9 years ago

This is a very great wine to share with a nice fire, some ski socks, long johns and a movie. I chose to watch "Taken 3" while I drank it. Great flick. Anyhoo, my good friend, Ali from Pakistan gave me several bottles as a wedding gift (he's a tech wizard from the Bay Area who does Crossfit). I am hoping he visits me soon so I can enjoy it with another human being. All in all, a very fine wine! — 10 years ago

Smelled like a blueberry filled swimming pool complete with chlorine initially, but after an hour of splashing around, notes of mint, black currant, licorice and cedar emerged. Black currant continued through the palate, with a blueberry-grape bubblegum dip-n-stix flavor amidst a toasty oak and tobacco with cinnamon. Basically a hearty but smooth, round-tannin romp in the concrete pond! Put on your purple polka dot monokini, because this sultry little vixen is right out of a Russ Meyer's flick, and she can still beat you to death with her ample fruits! You know you want it! — 11 years ago

It surprised me. It’s got a tropical herbaceous thing. Like the tropical cocktail with just enough herb garnish to cut through whatever juice is in it. And bone dry. Do I have a metaphor for this...let’s see it is a movie that’s starts as a chick flick and then has a deep message but then still has a happy slightly cliché ending, and you’re okay with it. It’s the 13 Going on 30 of Chenins. Hop on hop in like the bunny on the bottle. — 7 years ago

Lady fingers dipped in dark roast coffee. Dreamy, sensual. This wine reminds me of that mesmerizing guy in my college class who pulled a paring knife from his backpack every Wednesday evening at 7:00 and cut slivers of apple, flipping them from the knife tip to his mouth with a sexually suggestive flick of the tongue. The softest of porn, pornographic in the Victorian sense. And a happy discovery for me — Trader Joes sells slutty wine inexpensively by cutting out the wine pimp. — 8 years ago

Christmas dinner. Paired nicely with the upset toddler and the Pixar flick while the grown ups got to eat. But the glass travels, so I was content. — 9 years ago

Dark ruby red, almost black at its center. The nose is bold and alluring with aromas of cherry, prune, vanilla, cinnamon, brand new cedar chest, and the occasional flick of black table pepper right to the back of the nostrils. Medium bodied with solid structure but still smooth and lush. Flavors of blackberries, plums, mint and pencil lead. It finishes with plums, mint, and some big tannin. — 9 years ago

Volcanic unfiltered milky warm nights in a bottle. A cloudy ripe look in the glass and a saturated feel in the mouth, it gets more acidic in the nose and pungent in the jowls as it sweats. A server in Bones restaurant Paris pointed out that this was one of their wines that some people liked and many people felt ass too much like rubbing alcohol on the nose. Seeing as how that's my favorite wine and the Sardignia label was my immediate go to, my thought that's it's much more like a luscious milky grape juice for the mouth, childlike and happy rather than the dominant acid I generally like, should be considered next to the expert's thoughts that it was a dominantly sharp flick in the nostrils. This is your warm, dirty Paris night of your younger travels--no filters, a slight sunburn through the nigori haze, and a lot of laughter. A memorable serve. — 11 years ago
