Very powerful and intense. At 17 years amazing density and freshness. Honeysuckle, lemon, minerality and real drive and zip but still balanced and rounded. Delicious. — 9 years ago

Just brilliant. All round smooth and easy. A little pepper but mostly rounded black current and plum with a hint of oaky dryness. — 11 years ago

9.6

Lots of nutty character. Almonds and creamy hazelnuts come to mind. Bruised and oxidized red and yellow apples dominate the fruit. Dusty chalky minerality drive the wine. Great bubbles! — 11 years ago

After 10 years this is absolutely fabulous. Throw the French or English kings of cheese at it, and it will match them nobly — 8 years ago

This is wonderful. Bright and fresh. A dazzling midpalate with Cristal sweetness, lemon, a steely drive. Powerful and beautifully balanced. Great stuff with decades ahead of it — 8 years ago

So much potential! The first out of my six that I bought prearrival, and opened to soon. Great dark fruit and drive to cut the ribeye that we enjoyed, but the best is yet to come foe this claret! — 12 years ago

My first introduction to Shiraz. It was really good. Flavors of black berries, coffee, leather and chocolate. Smooth tannins after 30 minutes of decanting. — 8 years ago

8.9

A bit of CO2 at first but the bubbles go away after a while. On the nose : a bit of honey, peach, hay. Interesting and profound. The palate is wide and full of fruits, the acid backbone is a bit overwhelmed except at the end where the acid backbone comes back to drive the palate to a moderately long finish with peach. Cool wine ! — 8 years ago

Migue Gustavo

9.5

Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, pomegranate and sweet tobacco.  Multi-layered flavors of red, blue and black berry fruit, plums, cherries and a hint of blood orange underpin subtle layers of exotic spice and toast.  Fine tannins and balanced acidity drive a long finish. Very Good. — 9 years ago

Conrad Green

Lovely drive and zip at the front. Crisp and clear. Delicious — 9 years ago

Aaron Tan

9.2

Sure did make an impression. Big, rich, textural, stunning acid drive. Pears, apples, limes, and layers of molten honey! Likely some bot even - hints of it on the palate. Utterly delicious.

Add notes: Domaine des Roches Neuves. Biodynamic focus. L'Insolite - 80+ year old Chenin vines, clayey-limestone, sandstone and flint subsoil. — 10 years ago
