Sipping Fine Wine

8.9

An 18th century chateau, overlooking the Isle valley, facing Pomerol and the Saint-Emilion limestone hillsides, belonged to the same family for three centuries took over by Michel Rullier in 1955, and his daughter Brigitte took the helm in 2002. Dark Ruby with an array of berry aromas and smoky scents. On the palate plum and cherry flavors with cacao, tobacco and smoky cedar notes with herb spice. Firm chalky tannins, long finish ending with earthy mineral notes. Still tasting ok, but drink now! — 6 years ago

Really nice blended wine that is semi sweet and from a nice winery. Good to pair with a food or enjoy by itself. — 8 years ago

Bu après le cornas , on dirait presque un bourgogne, floral fin pas basé sur la matière , très agréable (enfin il a quand même souffert de la comparaison avec le coteau de noiré et le cornas ) — 9 years ago

Bloody good. It had to be as it cost the price of a small duchy.
I have a whole bottle of this greatness with me. Not a good idea.
Taste is sort of dry, not sweet and not bitter...all in equal mix. Taste of lots of stuff. It's been through different cask apparently. Bourbon, Madeira, Port...
Lovely aroma. Doesn't come to hit you right back. — 9 years ago

Rose gold. Rich aromas and flavors of cherry liquor, cocoa, cereal, vanilla extract, chestnut, blackberry, and a hint of butterscotch. Medium + finish. — 10 years ago

Smoky Peaty and spirity aromas Also Iodine and Briny notes showing its maritime location. A single malt matured in charred oak casks. There is some conjecture as to whether Talisker is classified as Island or Islay but suffice to say it is the only Distillery on the Isle of Skye. Had a tour of Talisker many years ago after going to the HQ of the MacDonald Clan on Skye. I bought this 1 Litre bottle at Gatwick Airport about 2 months ago before we headed up to Inverness and the Highlands. — 7 years ago

Un joli nez pinoté, avec une sucrosité de fruits rouges... En bouche, tend presque vers le caramel ou le dulce de leche. Atypique. Premier abord étrange, mais chaleureux ensuite.

Pas l'habitude des côtes rôties un peu évoluées mais très agréablement surpris. On retrouve presque des notes de bourgogne. On a des notes secondaires de fruits rouges bien mûrs, de sous bois très fines. Un régal! — 9 years ago
