Delicious wine with a peppery finish. Goes great on its own or with a meal — 5 years ago
Bright deep red flavor medium body not fruity but fruitful mouthful...nice, will buy again. Notable winery w/great top flight wines but this stands on its own...surprisingly, almost better on Day 2. — 6 years ago
Heavy on the Grenache and Mourvèdre in 2014. With a backbone of deep fruit Syrah and inky cinsaut to round it out — 7 years ago
When you bring your own wine to he Hyatt. Deep in flavor, with a velvet soft finish. — 8 years ago
Held its own through the back half of a classic nouvelle cuisine menu at maison rostang. Excellent wine with hints of tobacco, spice and mineral despite the protein and fat heavy second half. — 8 years ago
Although I find that La Closerie generally needs some bottle age to fill out and come into its own, LC19 is already showing fabulously flaunting deep, powerful layers of ripe orchard fruit with smoky minerals, toasted hazelnuts and exotic spices. The palate is impeccably structured and concentrated with a satiny texture and vibrant energy that gives way to a long mineral inflicted finish. Pinot Meunier from the master, it just can’t be matched. This is the best release since LC13. — 3 years ago
Amazing what some cellar aging does to an already great wine. Firm tannic structure is still present, as are the vibrant dark fruit notes comprising this vintage. Definitely softer from the Merlot in the blend, while remaining a powerful Cabernet in its own right. — 4 years ago
A rich dense Cab Sauv. Great flavors of cassis, dark cherry and vanilla combine for a wine that’s good with a meal or on its own. — 6 years ago
Had on a random Sunday with Richie - very light and refreshing - smells great — 8 years ago
Decent red table wine. Enjoyed this with lasagna and was good on its own as well. — 8 years ago
Loved this. A full bouquet of roses and citrus and red fruit and sweet spice. Assertive on its own gentle with pork. Well balanced. — 8 years ago

Decanted for 24 hours so that it could open up as it’s so young.
Incredible flavour, complex, red fruits but not too bold and some nuisance too.
Time will serve this well. A winemaker who dances to his own tune and making great music. — 4 years ago
Estate dates back to Crusades & Scottish navigator, George Smith, owner in the 18th century. Followed by M. Duffour-Dubergier, Mayor of Bordeaux, then Louis Eschenauer, a famous wine shipper. In 1990, Daniel & Florence Cathiard now own estate. Blend of 60% Cab Sauv & 40% Merlot, dark berry aromas, herbs and earthy spice. Palate is complex with cherry & currant flavors, pepper, tobacco & cacao notes. Soft tannins, rich and full, lingering, earthy, mineral ending, needs a bit of time. — 6 years ago
Wow, enjoy on its own. Full bodied, currant flavors with a lil smoke on palette. Yummy for a Fall eve — 7 years ago

In the hottest summer since forever, Enderle & Moll Spat rose is the solution to my Texas problem. This works for when I want red and red doesn't want to work. It's the heart and soul of German Spat with the ability to quench thirst. A cool dip off Liason, with more texture and thicker concentration.
It doesn't look like Rose'. It looks like 20 year old Barolo - crimson with browned edges. Awesome cherry laden notes. Fresh bing - dark to stain your fingers. And candied cherry too - like Ludens cough drops. And mint and menthol. And that texture - this is 13.5% ABV, but not syrupy the way Bandol rose's can be.
It's own exceptional thing. Drink at cellar temp. — 3 years ago
