Golden wine, slight evidence of gas. Lees on the nose, pear, Asian pear, honey, citrus. On the palate, bruised apple, bitter melon, pear, orange peel, citrus fruit, very nice body. Acidity med +, alcohol is low. Juicy fun wine! Got my somm study cards in the background 😂 — 7 years ago

The nose here is a flight to France and back. And it's not until later you realize you didn't have to pay for a ticket, but you sure as hell got your money's worth. — 8 years ago

Definitely can't beat this for the price. I saw a bottle at s friend's house and order one on a whim, I'll be ordering more. Beautiful garnet color and very well balanced on the palate. Tannins and spice are moderated well, making this Rhone blend wine very smooth. Finish is moderate in length but very consistent. — 8 years ago

Warm, rich, Grenache-heavy. Like all of Xavier’s ‘15s, it touches all the bases: ripe, tannic and superbly low pH. Saline. Lots of vanilla bean and grated hard spices. Classic. #xavier #gigondas #rhone — 7 years ago

This is gorgeous. A bit funky on the nose, but the palate is beautiful white flowers, a touch of honeysuckle and a balancing acid. The apples start to show themselves with a bit of air, but they're hardly abundant. — 7 years ago

A privilege to taste this long out of market wine in magnum format. Obvious traces of age, and possibly past its prime, but still very enjoyable. — 8 years ago

Big red body. Which leads you to big spices of lavender, Rosemary, sage. 70% blend of Grenache 13% Syrah 12% Mourvèdre and 5%cinsault. Dense purple plums and darn cherries.


There are 3 premier Appalachians in rhone. Gigondas, vacqueyras, chateanueuf du pope (the last being the supreme). The story goes that the two keys on the crest of the chateauneuf wine were sealed and punishable by death if you were to drink it if you were not the pope. — 9 years ago

One of those white Burgundies that makes you question the logic of the crowd. Why is no one drinking Monnot? It's imported by the same guy who brings in Jamet. Powerful, intense, pure and showing plenty of pedigree, potential, and freshness tonight. — 10 years ago

Spice on the nose. Touch of wood. Good structure, a bit backwards. But juicy, nice acidity and freshness. Mineral finish. Luscious and fresh. Needs air. With air it gets lush and ripe. — 8 years ago

This bottle is really pushing the saturation question but remains really focused and expressive. Restrained aromas, full textural. - unfiltered palate. It is top notch Cab Franc in its bass notes. — 9 years ago
