Look it’s not bad, it’s really not. Firm and ripe while giving us spiciness. I just can’t stand the guy puts his name on everything. — 6 years ago

Dutch chocolate with blackberries and mint, rich dirt, dark tobacco, flux smoke on copper. Tar and black currant, smoky, black cherry wash the tongue, graphite is strong and remains indelible throughout. Gets smoky with a walnut edge. This is a craggy mountain of a wine, with herbs popping out of every crevice. It is a wonder to behold, and satisfies with every climb. #portugal #portuguesewine #roquettecazes — 11 years ago

Liquid silk massaging your tongue like Aeon Flux with ripe cherries and oh-so goodie goodness. — 11 years ago

Note this is Flux red blend (not Rose) and Last Bottle says the winemaker Jon Keyes worked for Mark Herold but this isn’t a MH wine…..ANYWAY it’s a very agreeable blend at an exceptionally agreeable price ($16) at LB - beautiful blackberry tones on the nose, light on the palate but not too fruity - I think some age would work well - reminds me of the FC Siena tho J thinks it’s lighter — 4 years ago

Like the Grenache blanc@in there — 9 years ago

This is the 100% grenache, not the 85% grenache with some syrah, etc. The color is inexplicably light, not rosé, but literally closer to that color than a young, dense syrah. The color belies a thicker body and mouth feel, nice tannins. Drinking well. Solid effort. — 10 years ago

Herbaceous and sharp as olive oil with its hot streak. Very smooth and races off like flux to reveal an almost basil and mint combo. Would love to see this beauty paired with the perfect dessert. — 11 years ago

Maison Pierre Overnoy Arbois Pupillin 2010 Chardonnay

Smoky, golden, honey, hints at Amber in colour. The sediment that you usually find down the side of old(ish) reds seems in-flux here, as you lift the bottle to the light the sediment shifts like a vinous DNA strand, a rare sight.
Nose is subtle but with plenty of depth. Quince jelly, smoky honey, curry leaf, apple/treacle/pecan tart, apple sauce but with an overriding, roughhewn rockiness to its character.
In the mouth there is complexity but it's more about texture and mouthfeel than well defined fruits. Although this is mineral, refreshing with high acidity there is an incredibly appealing richness too. Monolithic is not a word that I would often use for a wine but it seems to sit well here, there are few contours or subtle intricacy. It will be fascinating to see how this ages — 12 years ago

Light and refreshing to go with cheese and playing Flux. Dad brought from his cellar — 5 years ago

Nice, young grenache. Tannic but approachable. This will soften with age, but I'm not sure that's a positive. It's drinking well now, and I'll admit I enjoy the faint heat on the finish. — 10 years ago

After drinking Abstract and Flux, which were very nice bottles, I found this wine to be very pleasant. The taste was well balanced and smooth with a hint of the aroma you would find in older more developed vintages. This is a classy one without having to break the bank. — 11 years ago
