Dry with that hint of fino funkiness, maybe the best of the bigger sherry brands. — a year ago

A good champagne. Drank kind of… young? Balanced but not graceful, hefty but a little too eager. All of the flavor was BOOM, right up front, and it was more green apple rind than anything. Good - maybe not my thing. — 5 years ago
Interesting “Vin de France” that is the brainchild of the great Louis Barruol. Primarily made with Grenache that is a blending of several vintages, all vinified in concrete tanks. This one was bottled in 2019. Deep ruby/garnet/purple color. Aromas of ripe red berry fruit, dried purple flowers and dusty earth. Flavors of strawberries, red and black cherries, blackberries, red and black licorice and baking spices. Touch of black pepper spice on the medium-plus and slightly earthy/musty/peaty finish. Medium-plus acidity. Light and well integrated tannins. Pleasant texture and purity. Interesting concept that has led to an interesting wine. Excellent QPR. — 6 months ago
Yang Yang ! Toasted Bitter almonds, hazelnuts, caramels, bitter dark chocolate, cedar but also mineral salty and flowers. Border line brandy that will please bourbons and whiskies drinkers alike…. Complex and fascinating ! Served chill and make sure no one bothers you for a while … A treat for serious #gozones … If you happen to smoke premium cigars, this is next level! — 4 years ago

Balsamic-y butterscotch toffee and some coffee notes. Medium-minus body makes this fun. — 5 months ago

Oct 2022 disgorgement
Mix of 14/16 vintage with 2017.
Yeasty and good vibe right out of the bottle
As it sits and settles - medium body with a little punch. Less citrus and more stone fruit. Pear flavor.
Really enjoyed this and will search for more as this was last bottle — 2 months ago
