There’s a unique spice profile that marks Marius Shiraz. I do love it. Long long finish, tannin has a nice savoury grip balanced with dark black and red fruits. Florals in both flavour and smell, so much going on. A big step up from the 2014 Simpatico. Roger Pike has called it a day (https://rogerpike.com.au/news/), and at this point without any clear succession or sale 2019 will be his last vintage :( — 8 years ago

It's a fucking 10! Like all the best fruits and flowers from my life all mixed together, each presenting their best evening wear one at a time down the runway in measured succession. Yeesh. — 9 years ago

Have had this 2009 three times over its evolution and it gets better with each succession. Such complex aromas and flavors it's hard to get your bearings. Some sort of leather , camphor and bandaid aromas with a deep cherry fruit mixed with rosemary and lavender and violets. I wish this wasn't my last bottle. Imported by Weygandt Metzler, who never choose mediocre wines. Another example of how intriguing French wines can be. — 10 years ago

1990 Chateau Latour Bordeaux. Drank at Chaya w J&D B. Drank this following the 1985 Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin burgundy. So fun to drink two completely different, but perfect wines in succession. Had green, vegetal notes and a round, smooth finish. Such a treat. — 10 years ago

Stunning for the first 2 glasses, can be a bit sickly if you drink more in quick succession — 11 years ago

Really interesting white blend. Riesling, muscat, Pinot Gris, Pinot blanc, and gewurtztraminer. Riesling flavors up front, then Pinot blanc dominant. Pears, limes, white peaches, and some honeyed green apple and some baking spices at finish. Seems like each varietal shows up in succession. — 8 years ago

Valpolicella, or "valley of many cellars" is an area crossed from north to south by a series of hills, which in succession form three parallel valleys. Dark red with aromas of black and red fruits and spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with cacao notes and oven spices. Soft smooth tannins well balanced with acidity on a long finish. — 10 years ago

Estate had prior succession problems & split into 2 with original Clos L'Eglise (Rouchut family) on one side and Clos L'Eglise-Clinet (Mauléon family)on the other. Clos L'Eglise has a wine-producing tradition spread over several centuries. A blend of 80% Merlot & 20% Cab Franc, 100% new oak, wonderful warm aromas of fruit & spice. Cherry & Strawberry flavors, with notes of cinnamon & nice energetic mouthfeel. Firm tight tannins that are beginning to open but should continue to age well. Put on Must Try list — 8 years ago

Stunning. Quite different from the first time I had it. Bottle variation or the circumstances (food, succession of wines, time)?

Big white pepper bomb confronts you straight away and then it's a whirlwind of flavours. Crazy wine. Fruit seems brighter than I recall. Had it the next day again and was getting this balsamic and indian spice notes. Surprisingly pleasant - thought the Brett notes would dominate after all that oxygen. — 9 years ago
