La Mariole Vieilles Vignes Red Blend 2019

Doug Powers
9.0

So, a French Languedoc old vine Carignan from 100+-year-old vines (12.5% ABV) in Corbieres, shows classic southern French garrigue, sage and rosemary I smell, complex yet much lighter on the palate, these old vine Carignan tonight are both quite fine, though I will say that if you tried these blind side-by-side, it wouldn’t be difficult to identify the Old World vs. New World versions. — a month ago

@Dave, it was, I marginally preferred the Liocco tonight, my wife the La Mariole. Interesting to me was that the CA wine was totally clean, zero sediment, while the French wine had a fair crust on the side of the bottle. Both were quite enjoyable, and if my way better half was doing the ratings, the French wine (Vin de Table, BTW, not Corbieres) would have been 3 points better than the Lioco!

9.0

Raspberry, unripe strawberry. A little on the acidic side, dry with a bit of minerality and what I think might be what people call "gamey". Opened up nicely, softer, riper red fruit, bit of damp forest, a little muddled and less clear. — a month ago

Avant La Tempête Blanc Sec Jacquère 2018

9.1

Before the storm! Apremont Jacquere planted in 1956, destroyed in 2019 by hail. Orchard fresh fruit salad. Stony pallet and pineapple acidity. There is a creamy character, nice little background to the fruit and mineral. Does need some air to disparate some ‘natural odors’ but I find those easy to get past. — 4 years ago

A very unique wine. Needs time to open. Notes immediately of fresh raspberries then opens up more with notes of salt on tomato. — 5 years ago

Dry but with stone fruit notes that imply sweetness. High acidity. And the fizz. Refreshing. Delicious. I want more! — 4 months ago

Les Promenards Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2018

Adam Kincaid
8.9

Blind tasting - third round. Rich golden color with yellow fringes. Has a ripe yellow pear and bruised yellow peach component. We all picked up on starfruit too and some bruised pineapple? Seems odd for the style. Waxy and honeysuckle notes with doughy bread round it out along with chalky minerality. Rather dry with a high amount of acidity. Half the group went Chablis but I’m proud to say I went Chenin. — 3 years ago
