While waiting for the other wine to open up, this has kept us company. Bright, raspberries and fig- I swear I keep getting a waft of melon, then open my eyes and can it possibly be? — 9 years ago

Great length and finesse coupled with rasp and blueberries. Detect an aromatically "wet" quality maybe from cement aging. Perfect way to end the flight! Thank you Sophie :) — 12 years ago

Could smell the wine across the room. Marcoux VV if blind tasted. Hard to believe it's Tempranillo — 9 years ago

Produced and bottled by Domaine de Marcoux.
15% alc.
Served out of a magnum and needed 1+ hour in the decanter to come around.
Despite the producer (which normally is one of my favorites) and probably due to vintage this showed just OK tonight. — 10 years ago

Ripe black fruits, but with a hint of the gamey quality that I associate with an old world expression of Syrah. — 12 years ago

Unctuous. Best way to describe this wine right now. Drank alongside a Marcoux CdP and this wasn’t even close to the Marcoux’s character and depth. Not to say this wasn’t a good wine; in fact, it was quite good indeed. Expectedly modern. Blue fruits and spice and lots of it. Bigger than the Marcoux for sure. Color was a huge contrast being more purple and the Marcoux’s bright red. Tannins weren’t too obtrusive. Decent acid. Not sure what to do with these wines. Drink now? Do they need more age to become their best? The 15.5% scares me a bit. Right now, this comes across too young. — 7 years ago

Great wine, and value. Same winemaker involved in Marcoux if I'm not mistaken. — 9 years ago

Traditional chateuneuf - lots of olives, tobacco and spices - very different from the marcoux. - no sweetness at all — 9 years ago

1990 marcoux vv still has incredible richness licorice and a bit of underbrush 1989 beaucastel has a slight medicinal note and an array of spice box and fine herbs sill has some tannins 1989 rayas this wine has a good amount of fresh tea and an underbrush zesty finish Fondalet 1985 still has wonderful freshness and a good amount of zesty spice most excellent — 12 years ago
