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. — 4 months 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 — 2 years ago

Dec 2023. Translucent red brick. Acetone blows off quickly, leaving a slightly oxidized nose of bright cherry, summer plums. Refreshing sweet sour palate, medium body. Love it slightly cooled. From half bottled in September 2003. Needed 20 years to mature and will last another 20. — 5 months 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 — a year ago

One of Domaine Mas Blanc’s three single-vineyard wines, Les Junquets comes from a steep west-facing terraced parcel in Collioure – an appellation Mas Blanc’s André Parcé greatly contributed to establish in the 1970s. Blend of 90% Syrah, 5% Marsanne and 5% Rousanne vinified together and aged in old Bordeaux barriques for one year. Complex nose, with aromas of dark fruit (prunes, cassis), coffee and savory, smoky character. On the palate, it is balanced, with flavors of cherries and chocolate. Long finish. — 4 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. — 3 years ago
