Domaine Cazes

Rivesaltes Ambré Grenache Blanc 1985

9.5

Deep, burnt orange hue. Aromas and flavors of beeswax, dried fruit, honey, marmalade, and preserves. The palate is reminiscent of baklava (with nutty, honey, and date notes). An exemplary dessert wine that should be served in a pairing. 100% Grenache Blanc. — 5 months ago

Rivesaltes Ambré Hors d'Âge 12 Ans Vin Doux Naturel Grenache Blend

John Bratincevic

9.0

NOSE: sherry and brandy-like. Distinct raisin, caramel. Orange (candied), lozenge, varnish, vanilla, baking spices (cinnamon, clove, etc), Rum-like marshmallow. Irish (pot still) whiskey. Laffy taffy.

TASTE: More acidity than expected, over the top raisin. Sulphur (not in a bad way, in a raisin way). Chilled apple cinnamon hibiscus tea with sugar and orange juice. Not my style - but it is made well. 90.

EDIT: someone mentioned roasted nuts and they are right. — 3 years ago

birth year treat with close friends: oxidized magical goodness, still had freshness & acidity, cornucopia of flavors & aromas ranging from oloroso sherry to port. bottles are meant to be drank & not stored like museum pieces — 8 months ago
