Really superb Napa Cab. Purchased from Odette Tasting room. Classic Napa Vallet. Oak, vanilla, cocoa on the nose. Followed by dusty earth and sage. Lots of dark fruit, honeyed fig, chocolate , hazelnut Nutella. This is a well structured wine at 15.6% — 3 years ago
Well, what an overachiever this wine is! Mayne Lalande, a little known chateau in Listrac-Médoc, and a bottle which I picked up for a humble price at auction around a year ago. It’s fresh, sappy, delicious and positively refreshing at 12% abv. I wish I had more of this. A joyous rendition of old left-bank Bordeaux. — a month ago

No idea why this has low scores it’s absolutely gorgeous and what you imagine burgundy should be but rarely is. Pretty good value at £40 — 3 years ago
Was a great easy drinking wine with ratatouille- which was heavy with sautéed beets. Wish I would have bought more of this. — 5 years ago
