I don’t drink too many Spanish wines but I liked the blingy label and it turned out really good. Paired well with a grilled pork loin and grilled veggies. TGIF! — 5 years ago

Echézeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2009

Robe rubis foncée brillante
Nez assez réservé avec une fruit rouge assez mat et qq notes d épices et de bois mais immédiatement classe et de grand cru de pinot noir .... mais ou?
Bouche dense mais fraîche et cristalline avec un développement en longueur tirant loin quelle énergie
Incroyable pour l année et le vigneron je trouve
Un 95/100 ce soir mais il est très loin d avoir tout donner10 ou 15 le sublimeront
Merci Stef👍👍👍👍

Château Bellevue Peycharneau

Bordeaux Contrôlée 2015

An award winner every year, Chateau Bellevue Peycharneau is an extraordinary wine produced from a 37-acre hillside vineyard on the far-easter border of Bordeaux, near Bergerac. Deep purple color, Intense, expensive nose of red cherries, blackberries, toast and licorice. Riche and concentrated in the mouth with silky tannins and a nice long finish. Enjoy alone or with steaks, pork loin, turkey and cheeses. — 6 years ago

Nicolas Rossignol

Santenots Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Belle surprise que ce vin. Très axée sur la cerise et des épices comme le poivre qui amènent même la famille à croire qu’on pourrait être en Cote-Rotie. Je ne l’étais pas mais je comprends les commentaires... c’est assurément plus facile quand on a vu l’étiquette ! Une bouteille très agréable d’un producteur loin de la spéculation — 7 years ago

Oppenlander Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

9.2

Light & mid red fruits, smoke, grilled meats & dry red roses on the nose. The fruits are; dark cherries, cherries, cooked strawberries, dry cranberries, black cherry cola, reductive pomegranate, grilled meats, smoke, baking spices (vanilla & nutmeg), brown crushed volcanic rocks, dry roses, light oak, nice acidity and an elegant swirl of all of the above on the long beautiful finish. Nice work Toby. For those reading, a Pinot to acquire and a winery to follow going forward. Great pair with pork loin w/ fruit. https://www.google.com/amp/s/johnonwine.com/2015/06/11/spotlight-winery-phillips-hill-winery/amp/

Wow. Le vin se peaufine avec les années. De loin la plus belle bouteille à ce jour. Il y a de la matière, de la puissance. La grenache se fait bien sentir. C’est sexy. Délicieux — 5 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 1991

Ce vin a clairement connu de meilleurs jours. Il était cependant loin d'être mort. Sur un profil certes tertiaire, mais avec un fruit rouge résiduel et une belle harmonie d'ensemble. Fort agréable sur 3 heures, du premier au dernier verre. — 5 years ago

Rubis claire
Nez délicat suave et frais fruit rouge et floral
Bouche délicate aérienne que j aurai place par la fraîcheur et l élégance sur chambolle
Très loin de certains vins du domaine qui sont puissant et large parfois avec une emprise du bois
J aime beaucoup cette délicatesse effet 2011 peut être 👍👍👍👍

Les Cabottes Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2013

Loin du typique Chambolle en finesse. C’est du sérieux ce vin.... fruits noirs, encore austère et un elevage encore présent. Je dirais qu’il faut attendre mais pas certain qu’il sera meilleur... — 7 years ago

Nota Bene Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2018

Big tannic monster that will mellow after being cellared. I’ll lay this one for at least 3-5 years. Lots of ripe red fruits and chocolate that will pair nicely with grilled lamb loin chops. — 5 years ago

Drank 9/4/19. Paired with paprika rubbed pork loin. Happy to be able to grill again after Dorian.

Nose of red cherry, strawberry, underbrush, and a touch of cinnamon. Red fruit and underbrush flavors, with nice balance and a medium finish. Slightly preferred the '16, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

I've only tried one other British-made wine. Quite tasty! Tart apple cider notes make it off-dry. Nice champagne alternative with our first festive December meal of pork loin and polenta with lingonberry sauce 🎄 — 7 years ago

Acentor Garnacha

Imagine walking through a blueberry patch, munching on the freshly picked, sun-warmed blue beauties. This wine is blueberries for days, on the nose and on the palate with a mildly spicy undercurrent. Well rounded, soft tannins with a finish reminiscent of grape jelly. Paired with a strip loin and grilled veg. Enjoyed. — 7 years ago
