Had this wine at a friends house. Tastes great on its own and paired nicely with the grilled beef filets we had. Tons of fruit and structure. Blackberry, plum, vanilla, and spice. At this price point it will be another one of our go to weeknight gems. — 10 years ago
Way more easily drinkable than expected. Very smooth and complex at the same time. Yet still light and fruity. Was awesome on its own. — 10 years ago
Super vibrant and exciting with great depth. Needs about 3 years to really come into its own. #closdesmouches #josephdrouhin #burgundy — 10 years ago

Consistently one of my favorite NV Rosé Champagnes the current release continues a glorious tradition. Fresh aromas of red apple abs very fruit with a toasty undertone and vibrant mouse. Excellent with food or on its own. Long finish — 9 years ago
Third day open and coming into its own. Zesty and round, but not too rich. — 10 years ago
Really, really good wine! Perfect with steak and on its own. — 10 years ago
Great value! You will be hard pressed to find a better wine under $10. Great with pork or red sauce and will stand on its own. Spicy cherry, not too heavy on the tannins. — 10 years ago

Contrary to other wines, D'yquem is in a class of it's own in terms of Sauternes. There is rarely, if ever, a bad year, although some years, like the 2001, stand out more than others. The disparity in quality from a GREAT d'yquem to a mediocre one & so on isn't as drastic as one might imagine. While the older vintages seem to age VERY well, it isn't as discernible from a recent vintage as other wines. Sauternes, in general are consistent, & none more than d'yquem. — 11 years ago
I've been storing this bottle for 5 years. Drinking it makes me regret that I didn't purchase a few of these in 2011. It seems to be 100% cab but tastes and feels like an old world blend. Sophisticated. Balanced. Velvety. Luxurious. It has a juicy berry, licorice opening with a medium nutty, peppery finish. It's perfect for drinking on its own. Very satisfying glass (or two) of California Red. — 9 years ago
Great porch sipper. Easy drinking but can hold its own with summer veggies, fish and even pork. — 10 years ago
Great on its own. Fruity with tannins that are just right. — 10 years ago
Settling into its own. Not overly green with some good fruit starting to poke its head out. — 10 years ago
Beautiful inky ruby color, medium-long finish. Tannins evolving. Wonderful fruit but just coming into its own. Needs more time. — 11 years ago
