Typical of the Domaine Michel Magnien style: this is turbo-charged and extracted. This would be a good cross-over for the new world Pinot drinker. — 9 years ago
Living up to its name, this Oloroso VORS has a beautiful fragrance. Flamed orange peel and toasted-salted Marcona almonds. Outstanding. #tradición @akawinegeek — 10 years ago
Currant fruit and bramble leafy notes. Fruit is fading leaving still astringent tannin and moderate acidity. — 8 years ago
Well made and balance Meursault. Not largely complex, but a solid wine. Very enjoyable. — 9 years ago
Beautiful Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc aromas with nicely integrated vanilla. High complexity for this Bordeaux Blanc. — 10 years ago
1990 vintage - powerful wine with strong red cherry and coffee flavors. Sweet pepper and underbrush. Very nicely balanced mid palate and finish. — 8 years ago
1986 vintage - Still has vibrant fruit aromas composed of fresh and dried cherries; slight truffle. Core of red and black fruit on palate. Very good. — 8 years ago
Lacking the freshness I look for in Pinot Blanc. Slightly oxidized with baked apple aroma and flavor. A bit of RS here too, although labeled "dry". This 09 is on a decline at this point. (6/15) — 10 years ago

Dark cherry and cassis. Liqueur and still strong vanilla notes. Slight lift or perfume (VA); very youthful aromas. A bit warming. Hugely concentrated. Very enjoyable. — 8 years ago
