Dark berries and a hint of orange peel, with a little graphite and stone. Medium acidity and tannins. Very good value, which is typical of the wines I’ve had from this producer. — 8 years ago

1973: Beautiful bottle. Wines like this make everyone stop and take notice. The color was clear and light. Arresting nose full of plums and roasted beets. The depth of flavor and long finish was in contrast with the appearance. Really a fine experience, only second to the few times I had the 1952 Mont Real. — 10 years ago

I can't see myself liking and enjoying a Chardonnay any more than this one. Butter. Recommended by Bryan Smith, wine director at Woodward Table. — 11 years ago

ラ・プスドールのヴォルネイ2005。コントラフォンよりも柔らかいが、マルキとは違った柔らかさ。非常に上品な印象。※なんと表現したらよいか難しい。とにかく『うっすいw』ラフォンやマルキよりは評価が下。 — 7 years ago

Amazingly rich with delicate bubbles. Full of ripe pear, apple pastry, creme brûlée, toffee, and a touch of cheese rind. The acid is present enough to offset the richness. This is a tête I would buy again! — 8 years ago

Started highly perfumed and floral in the glass but rapidly lost the bouquet. But in the mouth, mmmm. Juicy, acid, tense, round, bit of salt. Really came together well. — 8 years ago

Big and brooding. Plum, currant, toasty oak, vanilla, and mocha notes. I have long been a big fan of the Medella Real Gran Reserva. Relatively easy to find. Great price. Always reliable. It’s one of those wines that will appeal to both the newly-initiated and experienced tasters. I also love that it’s so multifaceted. You can drink it alone or with a burger, and it has enough structure to pair with a steak. You won’t go wrong always having some of this on hand. — 8 years ago

This is finally old enough to have unwound and now it shows its true volume and depth. Drinkable now for scads of beautifully ripe fruit, but nowhere near maturity. — 10 years ago
