That nose is beautiful: cinnamon, Winter spices, pine, tart cherry, sweet pomegranate. The lush tannins on the palate lets me know there’s definitely time for this to mature a few more years. More of the pomegranate and cherry with a dusting of earth and the baking spices coming through. It paired perfectly with the orecchiette and sweet Italian sausage, sage, parm with parsley mushrooms I had for dinner. Roagna is top notch. — 8 years ago

Terrific southern Rhone wine, with dark fruit weighted toward the finish and a lovely mouthfeel to it. One for winter and another great find from Wine Traditions. — 9 years ago

Elegant, fresh, picked straight off a lemon tree and squeezed and put in a pitcher and sold on a street corner in suburban heaven for .25 cents a mason jar full. This puckerupper is sassy AND punk... not yr average sylvaner. — 8 years ago

Our main course was Jenny’s, Flannery Beef’s Jorge Cut “Prime Rib Style”. Beef Jus and Saba Pan Sauce. Herb Garlic Smashed Baby Heirloom Potatoes Roasted Feral Hearts Farm Rapini in a Rapini Pesto. Winter Citrus and Roasted Nantes Carrots with Urfa. Quite delicious and well paired with this 98 Chateau Magdelaine. This was a little silky austere at the beginning. My fault as it needed a longer than 30 minute decant out of magnum. Once it opened up it showed the beauty of the 98 Right Bank Vintage. The fruit started to shine after being shy to start. Layers of soft complexity silky and velvety. The beef and the wine pushed & pull evenly on each other; which is key element in any pairing. Chateau Magdelaine is made with 90% Merlot & 10% Cabernet Franc. Chateau Magdelaine is aged in an average of 40% new French oak barrels for about 18 months. When the 2012 St. Emilion Classification was announced, the owners of Chateau Magdelaine, Ets. Moueix, declared that 2011 would be the final vintage for the property. From that point forward, the vineyard of Chateau Magdelaine would be merged into their other estate in the appellation, Chateau Belair-Monange. — 8 years ago

Biscuit nose . Orange marmalade. Perfect mouse, creamy. Long fruit finish. Apricot. Slightly oxidized. Bright yellow color. Acid gives way to bitter waxy citrus notes. Becomes buttery as it opens. And more savory...zesty...with coconut aromas as it opens more
Blend of 183 different from 12 years from 1990 to to 2007. Disgorged winter 2015.
Oddly have to say it's not as lively as I'd like...there's a muteness to tha palste — 9 years ago

Nice and dry for a Riesling. Great value in the 1L. Went well with Asian food to cut the spice but not too sweet at all. — 7 years ago

Delicious. Medium bodied with a muted nose of soft red and black fruit then a bright palate with raspberry, plum, dusty cocoa and white pepper. A little alcohol warmth on the finish but it’s not distracting (particularly on this winter evening). Persistent acid and tannins that promise a long future ahead. — 8 years ago

Too sweet right out of the bottle. Let's see how it does with cheese....
Not Boursin. But really liked it with my baby winter greens with the excellent Spanish evoo. Not sure if the wine is better than the olive oil. The wine is like nothing I've ever had which isn't to say it's bad. Only 9% which makes it easy on the lips, luscious. Very dessert like♡ Nice find at BigY — 8 years ago
