Chatelain De Laffy

T. Berkley Wines

Norgard Chenin Blanc 2022

Sheer and light on the nose; lemon pith, ocean air, slate rock.

Good legs and clear straw in color.

Beeswax, preserved lemon, chamomile, finish of laffy taffy banana that elongates the flavor on the mouth. Med light weight.

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2008

Even though it was 14 years old, I should have let it open more. Changed a lot over an hour—for the better. The end of the bottle was strawberry laffy taffy. Started with a simple wine of cherries and strawberries. Added depth, oak, leather, and more as time went on. — 4 years ago

Bonny Doon Vineyard

Le Cigare Volant Red Rhone Blend 2019

Nose: dark cherry, jello, cedar, raspberry, wintergreen, eucalyptus, laffy taffy, a spice chest. Taste: light, smooth, pine, eucalyptus, tobacco, licorice, a little sweet, but a lot less fruit than the nose. Light-medium weight. Elegant. Not my preferred style, but a great example of what it is. Not worth $16 to me (my taste), but still a decent value if you like the varietals and style. — 5 years ago

Terrassous

Rivesaltes Ambré Hors d'Âge 12 Ans Vin Doux Naturel Grenache Blend

NOSE: sherry and brandy-like. Distinct raisin, caramel. Orange (candied), lozenge, varnish, vanilla, baking spices (cinnamon, clove, etc), Rum-like marshmallow. Irish (pot still) whiskey. Laffy taffy.

TASTE: More acidity than expected, over the top raisin. Sulphur (not in a bad way, in a raisin way). Chilled apple cinnamon hibiscus tea with sugar and orange juice. Not my style - but it is made well. 90.

EDIT: someone mentioned roasted nuts and they are right.
