Mas de Daumas Gassac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1986

[Back label says 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, and then (in a burst of French mathematical genius), the remaining 30% (hey, that’s what the label actually says), Malbec, Merlot, Syra (their spelling), Canernet Franc, Pinot (unspecified which Pinot??), and Tannat] OK, not trying to goof on the winery or the importer (uh, KLWM!?!?), but weird math and unclear varietal composition is kinda just odd, at best, or just weird?!?!?’ Production was 75,000 bouteilles, 1,400 magnums, 100 jeroboams, and 25 mathusalems (their spelling, not mine)??!!
OK, first whiff, I could honestly care less what the actual grape cepage is, tons of garrigue, but at age 40 still quite fresh, most of the tannic structure has faded away, but this shows those awesome tertiary notes, along with clear bottle sweetness, which makes these older bottles so amazing and, frankly, compelling to drink!! Great southern French wine from the Pays de l’Herault, super long finish, WOW!!!

Wowza! Used to stock this in the store I managed in NYC. It was quite affordable back then.

@Tom Casagrande, I also have a 1989, 1990 and 1995 stood up, I used to buy these from KLWM back in the day (IIRC, they were sold as “6-pack cases”), I think starting with the 1982 through 1998 (or 1995). These wines are immortal from an aging perspective, so will start drinking them on and off.

Mas Cavalls Doña Margarita Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Our friend described this as forest floor. Did have wet forest smells along with mushrooms, dry blackberry and raspberry with a slight musty funk. Felt like this bottle was just a touch sweeter (not dessert wine sweet just that the dark fruit had fermented a bit more). Good wine. — 5 years ago

Salmos Priorat Cariñena Blend 2020

Torres family has been related to wine since 17th century when their ancestors first planted vines in the Penedès, a winegrowing region dating to the days of the Phoenicians. Deep Ruby with aromas of jammy fruit, pepper and toasty cedar. On the palate this blend of Cariñena, Garnacha and Syrah shows black currant, jammy blackberry and pepper, vivid acidity with fine grainy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, oak and earthy character. Nice. — a month ago

traditional style, just lacked acidity - otherwise very nice (bright) flavors & aromas showing plenty of secondary goodness. like to see an Old School producer not trying to make these into fruit bombs — 2 months ago

@Peter van den Besselaar, I’ve had multiple vintages of this wine (1970, 1971, 1973, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1982) — much to wife’s chagrin, I have not been able to locate what I believe to be 1 or 2 last bottles of this 1978 — I always LOVED the Torres Black Label, but never see them in the marketplace any longer, which is sad!! Bully for you having this gem!!
