Maison Leroy’s entry-level white, 100% Chardonnay sourced from different vineyards in Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Savigny-lès-Beaune. Subtle, aromatic nose with white fruits, citrus, floral notes and hints of vanilla. Fresh, mineral, great texture. No ordinary Buegundy — 5 months ago
Deep Ruby with an elegant bouquet of sweet berry fruits, subtle spice with earthy tones, a traditional Rioja. On the palate, the wine was silky smooth with layers of flavors, berry/cherry, tobacco, smoky cedar, dark fruit, vanilla spice, very well balanced with fine tannins and a clean structure ending with a nice long finish. Delicious! Still great with room to run. This wine shows potential aging well beyond next decade! — 3 years ago
So much cassis, black currant and rich sweetness. Very atypical for a Margaret River Cabernet - this is more Barossa or McLaren Vale. Less herbaceous than is usual for Margaret River in this warm vintage. A rich medium to full bodied palate with excellent concentration and smooth persistent tannins. My 2nd of 6 and a vintage that will last well beyond 2025 as one well known expert predicted. Should have the next bottle in 2 to 3 years time. 91% Cabernet Sauvignon; 4% Petit Verdot; 4% Cabernet Franc; 1% Merlot. — 2 months ago
Took 3 hours and was unforgiving when initially opened but then at 3 hours it was heavenly. Just classy beyond belief and a pillow on your palate with incredible fruit. Elite finesse and had that X factor. It was better than an 08 Roumier Les Cras that I had a sip of. I think I’d wait 2-3 more years on these or decant for 3 hours. — a year ago
Anything but ordinary!! Our first Tannat and we really liked it!! Such deep dark color. Rich aroma and flavors: cherry, strawberry and pepper. — 3 months ago
don’t know why it says syrah blend in the title, it is tempranillo, grenache, graciano and. carignan. anyway, it is delicious. watch out for sediment. — 7 months ago
Not what I was hoping for,
Gave it some air but not too much so that we didn’t lose the sweet spot. Didn’t touch the Shafer until this was finished. Just a typical older Bordeaux blend from Napa but very ordinary considering the price point. Secondary market purchase so who knows prior storage. — a year ago
