It was a Sine Qua Non night (which are always my favorites!). This was surprisingly tight given its age. Came back to it a couple of days later and it was SO MUCH better. If you have this in your cellar and are planning to pull it soon, I’d suggest a 4-hour decant to let it open up. It’ll be fantastic! — 3 years ago

For canned Rosé, easily the best I’ve ever had. (To be fair, that wasn’t a very high bar) — 4 years ago

Fantastico vino de Guadiana, enraizado en campos encumbrados desde el gran asentamiento romano, en Alange, precioso lugar camino de Emerita Augusta. Cuna de mis antepasados. Buen caldo, apropiado para carnes, queso que marida de manera fanstastica. Una gran joya de mi amigo Tomas. — a year ago

9.3

A captivating display of blackberry, plum, grilled herbs, cedar dust and balsamic spice wafts up from the 2016 Mille e una Notte. It’s silky in texture and polished in feel, offering ripe black fruits lifted by cooling minerality. This remains tightly wound up in its youthful state, as a fine coating of sweet tannin settles in to create a structured finale, with pretty purple-tinged florals and hints of licorice lingering long. The 2016 may be one of the most refined expressions of Mille e Una Notte that I’ve ever tasted, but it will need some time to show its best. This is composed primarily of Nero D'Avola, Petit Verdot and Syrah, which is expertly refined in new barriques for 14 months. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2021)

A typical nose of cedar and black currant yet with nice floral hints. Palate has class and elegance like a good Margaux should, the tannins are smooth and silky despite a decent structure and backbone for his medium bodied wine, very nice and fun to drink even at this infancy stage.

Nez floral avec des notes de cassis et de cèdre. La bouche a de la classe et de l’élégance comme tout bon Margaux, des tannins assez tendres et fins, tout en ayant suffisamment de structure, très bien. 89-90 — 4 years ago

A blend of mostly Nero d'Avola adding some Petit Verdot, Syrah and a few other grapes. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits, sweet notes and spicy scents. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry, currant like, with notes of cacao, licorice and sweet spice, well balanced with acidity. Fine tannins, long finish, ending with fruit, tobacco and sweet earthy character. Very nice! — 2 years ago

Love this Bordeaux blend. The smell is awesome - lightly sweet - and I love the dryness of the wine on the palate. Still a little bit of fruit though, which I like. Great for our Bastille Day cheese board (except for the salmon eggs - it highlighted their strong salt flavor) and would buy again for a French-themed meal. — 4 years ago
