One of the best old Banyuls I ever drank. Dried berries and a nice brandy kick at the end. — 9 months ago

Mise de Septembre 2003. Tasted June 2020. Mahogany/red brick color. Acetone aroma that quickly blows off. Palate is racy, sweet/sour. Balanced and complex. Good with parma prosciutto or serrano ham, thai chicken satay with peanut sauce, and pad thai. — 5 years ago

Splendid. A rediscovery of Banyuls style wine. Silky with depth and character. To drink right away. Great moment. — 2 years ago

A languedoc medium sweet wine. Great with cheese after dinner and the locals make an excellent sangria with it which goes down well on the beach — 2 years ago

[Half bottle] This lovely 17-year-old Banyuls has finally knitted together into a very fine example of Dr. Parce Banyuls (old vine Grenache made in the same way as Port), earlier bottles were terribly disjointed and lacking balance and sweetness). Served with Viennese Sacher Torte my wife made for dessert!

Our first Dr. Parce was the 1967 “Vielles Vignes” which was fantastic and is still my reference point. We had that in 1987 at Pierre Gagnaire’s restaurant in St. Etienne, before he moved on to Paris, his staff was kind enough to comp us a bottle — blind — while my brother and I embarrassed ourselves trying to identify the wine!! That bottle was tried with Pierre’s famous “chocolate soup” dessert, the recipe for which was in Patricia Wells’ “Food and Wine Lovers of France” book from the mid-1980s — memorable combination!!! — 7 months ago

Blend of 50% Grenache, 50% Carignan from 85-year-old, co-planted vines at approximately 900 ft in Banyuls. Aged for 6 months in used oak. Very fragrant and fruit-forward. Beautiful aromas of red fruit, strawberry jam and floral notes. Ripe, juicy, super drinkable — 5 years ago
