Gorgeous wine. Nose of spice, cranberries, red cherries, Xmas and so much earth. Palate is fresh as a daisy. Complex and textured. Great freshness, and some of the 09 opulence. — 8 years ago

Bière brune qui titre à 9.2. Mousse abondante, et petit arrière goût de caramel boisé. Pour moi, une de mes brunes favorites — 10 years ago

2008. Very good. Tart and firm acidity. Very old school style. Not overripe opulence of today's style. — 10 years ago

Tasting 2011 Burgs. P Colin's Les Chenevottes has beautiful nose that delivers lovely floral, mineral and rich opulence. — 11 years ago

Really opulent with loads of botrytis but nice minerality and texture to keep the opulence in check. — 9 years ago

I have been down on Grenache of late, and this one started in the same way that has troubled me, but after 2 hours open it has shed some of the fat, retaining the opulence and a good line of freshness and tannin on the finish. Make no mistake, this is high in abv, but carries it well. The nose is a little raisen, with creme d'cassis, huge. The palate is big too but carries the weight well, the flavor is levels better than the nose. #janasse #grenache — 10 years ago

2012: 80% Roussanne. Quite opulent, floral, sweet, stone fruit apricot and peach. Vanilla. 65-70 year old Roussanne vines. Very creamy, almost ice-cream, vanilla, stone fruit, lovely opulence and good balanced acidity. Good length, complex and long. — 10 years ago

For those of you who are interested in unbridaled opulence, the Nativ 'Eremo San Quirico' Aglianico Irpinia Campi Taurasini 2010 might be the wine for you. The nose fairly explodes with roasted cherries, plums, milk chocolate and vanilla, topped by a whiff of smoke and spice. There is some heft and power here, but it's almost entirely subdued by the more hedonistic elements of this Italian bombshell. Sultry overtones of figs, blackberries, and surprisingly, creme de menthe followed by cracked black pepper. — 10 years ago

usually I'm not a big fan of F, but I must admit that this magnum was simply phenomenal, the opulence from the wood so well integrated with the millions, crunchy, precious bubbles.. — 11 years ago

#bdx10 Showing the intensity and opulence this vintage has in spades. Showing the smoky charcoal the Graves is known for, this is tight but with tome opens up quite nicely. Nicely balanced, give it an hour minimum to decant. — 12 years ago
