We all need a little Lunatique in our lives. Forgot about those ⚛ synthetic purple corks on some of the older B&H though - the Rabbit was no match and had to pull out the heavy artillery to open. Slightly muted nose and a bit thin to start, but fleshed out into a decent Napa Syrah with air. — 10 years ago
Beautiful. In its prime. Paired with paella. Perfect match — 10 years ago
A classic Bordeaux styled wine meets a Spanish legendary producer. Pretty consistent with my experiences of this wine, plenty of delicious and layered fruit, perfectly integrated tannin, and ample acidity. All you need is some lamb or steak and you have a culinary match made in heaven. #valbuena #vegasicilia — 10 years ago

Depth and intensity. Perfumed and a touch of struck match. Unreal. — 12 years ago
Excellent, mature but drinking perfectly, perfect match with spicy pork and chorizo stew. — 9 years ago
Very nice right bank style. Big fruit in the nose and tannins to match but surprising amount of acid and balance. Drink now or hold a few more years. — 10 years ago
They can't seem to find a match for this wine????

Loads of plum, mild spice, graphite....tannins are starting to integrate really well....a little grippy still but starting to even out to a nice dustiness. Drinks well now and should continue to get better. Great buy on sale at Whole Foods for under $40! — 11 years ago
Rock solid Chablis, crisp. Minerality and orange zest. Perfect match for lemon-seared scallops served cold. Nice find @Chris Young! — 9 years ago

A glorious example of mature Sauternes- deep honeyed bouquet with pollen notes - these come through on the palate too, ply that classic burnt match undertow on a long finish. Like drinking nectar. — 10 years ago
What is it about these French reds? You can pick them out from a global mix: clear and a little dry. I'm sure if I knew the regions better, I could match them - they each seem to have a signature. — 11 years ago
Honeyed and unctuous. Cremebrulee with a nose to match (burnt sugar). Not the top tier D'Yquem, but quite satisfying — 11 years ago
Softer than expected, lemon/lime and yellow apple are subdued by a strong white mushroom and cheese rind funkiness. Complex and the perfect match for some triple cream. — 11 years ago
Wow. Amazing Aligoté, not to be wasted on a Kir. Could pose as good chardonnay as well. And perfect match for the ceviche. — 13 years ago

Cork crumbled but wine was sound! Needed a bit of air. Struck match, lemon curd, marzipan, minerality, med + acid, long finish. — 9 years ago
