2003 was a year of extremes in Burgundy, with spring frosts and crippling heatwaves later in the summer, so how did the Lucien le Moine Chambertin-Clos de Bèze fare? Extremely well. Penetrating aromas of cherry and black raspberry, dried leaves, forest floor, woodspice, and anise lead into firm structure and a brooding, sensual intensity. Mineral notes, exotic spice, and black tea add dimension. My only criticism is that the finish is slightly short, and it is a touch more advanced than expected. — 10 years ago

Very seductive. Great color for such a young wine. Medium bodied, light leather followed by crushed berries. Slightly earthy in a way but a very sensual wine. The alcohol melts away on the palette.... — 11 years ago

Ready to drink, ripe and sappy with beautiful sweet aged cherries, black tea, moss, mint and sauteed mushroom, and potpourri. Rich and voluptuous and at its sensual peak. 1990 vintage — 10 years ago

Stunning 1999 Côte Rôtie from Mathilde Yves Gangloff. The nose is generous with layers of black cherry, black plum, roasted meat, black olive tapenade and Herbs de Garrigue. Polished tannins and mid-palate acidity set the stage for earthy, sensual notes...dark chocolate, black pepper, asphalt and tar. Served with a simple rack of lamb, La Berberine proved to be deeply satisfying. — 11 years ago

Decanted after standing for about 6 hours. On first approach the nose was sweet, amazingly youthful for a 30+ year old wine. Medium body, dark fruit, cassis, vegetal notes, sous bois even. The structure was textbook claret - strong backbone and gripping Cabernet tannins. A sensual wine, but not beguiling like great burgundy. Still, it was a classic and I wish I has another bottle! — 12 years ago

A sensual and perfect red #wine from #Sicily #nerellomascalese is one of my favourite grapes when treated with love like here. 😉 — 11 years ago

Used to be at DRC and has had her label for some time and it's just fabulous. Elegant and sensual wine. Amazing value as well. Went beautifully with the Prawns my wife whipped up as our 1st course. — 11 years ago

Such a soft, sensual sauvignon blanc, that really opens up as it warms. Love the jalapeño stone fruit nose, mineral palate w that sauvignon blanc acidity but a touch of neutral oak and some definite lees influence that make the finish seem to melt in your mouth. — 11 years ago
