Very floral notes on the nose. Faintest hint of reduction? Tart acidity, bit of oakiness, with salinity in the long finish. — 2 years ago

The name is leading. Or is it just accurate? A sniff of it made me think “this is trouble” in the way I think “it must be pheromones” when I find someone who seems like a bad romance to be irresistible; I’m gonna drink them up all the same. On the palate it’s rich upscale chocolate covered cherries—are they trash? Or are they just delicious? I dunno this also made me think “off-dry Mc Donald’s vanilla milkshake” which if that could exist I don’t care if there’s a bit of trash to it it’s delicious. — 4 years ago

Way different than I expected from MC. It has nerve, chalky backbone, no signs of new oak or over extraction, mid-bodied, and very barnyardy. — 9 years ago

This Corsican wine’s delightful nose has the sea spray mist in it that I love in Vermentino from the Italian isles. It also has a healthy scent of lanolin and a trace of orange peel. Minerals are abundant on the palate, as is a fresh level of acidity. The finish holds those savories for quite awhile. The wine is simply made for oysters or calamari or scungili, grilled to perfection. — 9 years ago

I bought this at a large bottle shop in the Ginza in Tokyo in mid February, which specialised in Japanese Whisky. Quite expensive at $450 AUD but certainly of high quality. I was looking for something I thought would not be available in Australia but it turns out it is available for the same money!! A note of orange peel. The 55% ABV is a trifle hot but not overly so. The impact of the peat is not as pronounced as western isles heroes like Lagavulin and Laphroig. Smoky as expected and thoroughly satisfying. Had the last nip a few days ago. — a year ago

A producer to watch. Tasted the 19 vintage of this at La Paulee which was impressive & immediately ordered a case of the newly released 2020. This was as you would expect very young showing purity of fruit with good spice & balance. — 4 years ago

I think I like the contadino a bit better, by with a little time it's getting better. Bit o earth, little bit of cherry. Very mellow and palatable. — 9 years ago

The 2020 Rosso MunJebel MC opens with dark floral tones and a mix of dusty roses, ash and dried black cherries. Silky and serene, this stands out for its vibrant red berry fruits and hints of sour citrus, becoming quite spicy toward the close. The MC leaves a pleasantly tart sensation, showing a forgivable bit of heat as a sensation of tart cranberry slowly fades. The MC hails from the Monte Colla vineyard at 780 to 800 meters in elevation. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

Smoky with brief notes from me. Not as peaty as you would expect from the western isles. Had a tour of this distillery some years ago on the Isle of Skye which is the spiritual home of the Clan Donald ie McDonald. Probably prefer the peaty styles of Lagavulin and Laphroig. — 4 years ago

2020 vintage. MV Shiraz. MV stands for both Mc Laren Vale and Multiple Vineyards, as this is a 100% Shiraz blend from 4 of the 6 biodynamically farmed Paxton estates. All parcels were vinified seperately, aged in French oak and blended prior to bottling. Intense perfume of blackberries and subtle spices with a hint of eucalyptus. Fresh, energetic and balanced with very good spicy length. Abv. 14%. — 5 years ago

These 2015s are really singing now especially this GM. I will always love this grape. It’s one of under appreciated grapes but here MC really pull it off and it’s very refined — 6 years ago

Yes, from Texas, also really good. Tried it at a tasting on Friday and grabbed a few bottles. Apparently Rhone varietals have done well in some areas of the Texas highlands. Dry and well balanced with sweet lemon hints that's is well paired with the acidic backbone of this wine. Great surprise that I will get again. High QPR. — 10 years ago
