Légère réduction à l ouverture , carafe puis le vin s équilibre et on a un grand Languedoc pas encore très complexe , mais un superbe équilibre et une belle bouche fraîche — 7 years ago
Bright fruit with hints of game, olives, stems. Hits way above its price point ( a K&L bargain… I love a bargain!) — 2 months ago

Dry and spicey! Not jammy but big and reasonably complex for the price point! Thank you k&L — 7 years ago
Holy heck one does not always expect a Zin to age well. But this worked. Thanks @David L for getting me into this wine! You get all the spice and ripe red fruit you'd expect in a zin that was 2-5 years. But at 11 years the complexity was garnished by leather and raisin notes. Cool wine. I plan to taste the recent offferings of Martinelli! — 8 years ago
This bottle was chosen as our opening salvo for the Cellar Raid. We paired it with Kaluga caviar and let me tell you: it's hard to think of anything more hedonistic than taking bumps of caviar while sipping vintage Champagne. Okay, back to the wine. The 2006 D-L BdB currently pours a bright golden color and while still quite effervescent, the mousse is no longer persistent. On the nose, you're immediately hit with a fresh croissant to the face. There's also bruised apple, lemon bar, honey and almonds. On the palate, the wine is dry and has such a lovely, creamy and viscous texture. Acid is zippy enough. Apples, marzipan, lemon and a touch of butterscotch. A lovely, balanced Champagne that's aging so gracefully. I have one more bottle and plan to enjoy that in the next 5-7 years. — 3 years ago

Haven't had a ton of Shiraz but I liked this one. Barrel forward but not unbalanced. Dark fruit prevalent throughout, blueberries stand out, balanced by vanilla and some baking spices l, I get a little chocolate on the tongue as well. Definitely a heavier hitter but would be great to share! Would have again. — 2 months ago
