Loved this. My #1 pick in recent blind tasting. Great for price point, bought a case. — 2 years ago
Superspritigt dessertvin på plommon drar åt ekig whiskey. Passar bra till comté. Andas inte in när du sippar! Bar la lune, gbg — 5 years ago
Well, what an overachiever this wine is! Mayne Lalande, a little known chateau in Listrac-Médoc, and a bottle which I picked up for a humble price at auction around a year ago. It’s fresh, sappy, delicious and positively refreshing at 12% abv. I wish I had more of this. A joyous rendition of old left-bank Bordeaux. — 7 months ago

Nose of black cherry, honeydew, and smoke(?!). Good black cherry fruit on the palate with medium acidity and lots of minerally bitterness. Typical provençal rose structure and weight with a kick of black cherry. — 5 years ago
The 2011, absurdly good, the structure was woven and perfect, and the combination of red fruit and richness and earthiness was absolutely heaven.  — 9 months ago

Honey and fresh straw with lemon flavors linger in the finish with dusting of the garrigue within the landscape of the Languedoc. — 5 years ago

Dark ruby/ brick in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Fruity on the nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing over ripen fruits, cedar, vanilla, espresso, cola, light herbs, earth, chocolates, tobacco and spices.
This is a very tasty Merlot from Saint Emilion. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and elegant. Complex and interesting.
This 23 year old is much fruitier than I expected it to be. I absolutely loved the nose on this, and kept going back for more.
Good by itself or with food. A great experience to taste these kind of old wines.
A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged in (50% new) French Oak barrels for 16 months.
14% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
