Beautiful nearly 35 year old Banyuls Rimage from Dr. Parce, this old vine (mostly) Grenache is a fortified dessert wine (17.5% ABV) that pairs perfectly with my wife’s chocolate pate w/raspberry sauce!! The Banyuls is a tad less sweet than a comparable Port of similar age, and thus provides (for me) a better contrast with moderately sweet chocolate pate. Long finish, terrific pairing. — 3 days ago

Thanksgiving dessert wine paired with pumpkin and apple pie, the color is a kind of dark fog color, definitely showing its age, with some coppery hints to the edges. Medium to silky full on the body, with dessert focused notes of butterscotch, fig preserves, slight vanilla, raspberry compote and fresh baked goods notes, like an amazing fig newton. Sweet palate, with more fig newton, vanilla, cinnamon, orange, caramel and apple pie. A perfect pairing! — 3 days ago

Mas Amiel, le plaisir blanc, côte du roussillon 2024.
The nose is peachy, cereally, a bit lemony. The palate is fresh, acid driven, with peachy and cereally notes all along, some width, some roundness, before a long finish with peach and that cereally touch with a tiny salty touch in end. It's good, cheap stuff that works like a charm. Love it ! — 5 months ago

Had a glass of this with a small lobster roll at Supernormal. Sadly a little too cold. In colour very pale, water white with a pale yellow hue. I love Rhone whites but this was somewhat restrained. Barb thought a Lily perfume. Delicate soft flavours - a note of pear finishing with a bitter note on the light to medium weight palate. I have had more powerful Rhone whites but the cold temperature doesn’t help. — 2 years ago

Crazy good albeit a little ripe, exudes character. Lots of Scortched earth, charcoal and camphor, complimented by dark berry and winter spices. Truly great and hard to believe I bought recently for under $40. I’ve had the current vintage and it reminds me of either gramenon (kermit) or domaine du mas blanc (colliure). Awesome stuff — 3 years ago

Blew me away. Nose is so elegant and pretty with lavender and dried red fruit. Just perfectly balanced palate with enough meatiness to know you’re drinking Mourvèdre but not enough to turn off the non-wine-geeks. So expansive on the palate in terms of the breadth of flavor and complexity, but at this stage of evolution it’s incredibly approachable and easy drinking. Smiles. — 5 years ago
