A sweeter style than some of the other houses and for me the sugar overpowers it a little - masks some of the exciting nutty fun going on after nearly 30 years in the bottle. I see other reviewers complain of a lack of acidity in other vintages, that’s interesting as this one is very present. The tannins have died. Would be curious to see if the flattening of sugars and acidity bring this into balance in another 50ish… — 8 months ago

Pale brick red with a reddish rim. Not as orange’y as Barros.
Restrained nose, spice, orange peel, ripe figs and kirsch.
Juicy & fresh on the palate with zippy acidity balancing the high sweetness.
Less sweet than Barros, more balanced, fresher, juicier, classier. — 10 months ago

Unfiltered skin-contact white made with 100% Prensal (aka, Moll, indigenous to Mallorca), from organically farmed vineyards on limestone and fossil-rich marl soils. Fermented and macerated with its skins in clay amphora. Pale yellow. Unripe apple, citrus, floral notes. Very fresh, great acidity. — 6 years ago

Happy New Year!

Maybe the Michel Arnould old vines powerhouse is too serious for a lighthearted celebration, but it was just right for father and son wine geeks having New Years dinner alone together for the first time since 1999.

My top 10 wines of 2015:
85 Barros colheita port
92 Bruno Michel Champagne
94 Charbonniere Chateauneuf old vines
90 Cos d'Estournel
00 Domaine de Chevalier
96 Drouhin Corton Charlemagne
04 Eitelsbacher Karthauserhofberg auslese long gold cap
73 La Rioja Alta Arana
00 Lafon Volnay Santanots
82 Mount Eden Pinot Noir

And 5 honorable mentions just too damn delicious to leave out:
93 Beaulieu Napa Cab
88 Chasse-Spleen
10 Fontodi Chianti Classico
n/v Lustau Peurto de Santa Maria En Rama Sherry
12 Ridge Zinfandel Jimsomare

A tapestry of luscious dried fruit: figs, apricots, raisins, and prunes, all wrapped up in a soft yet very thick velvety mouthfeel. There are hints of cloves, caramel and even tobacco on that linger on the pállate. Well worth waiting for 58 years!! — 5 years ago
