Domaine de Rancy

Had this with the Toffee and smoked pecan dessert, paired perfectly. Also paired great with banana ice cream and caramel popcorn. — 7 years ago

Domaine Cazes

Rivesaltes Ambré Grenache Blanc 1985

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. — a year ago

Terrassous

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

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.

Château Prieuré del Camp

Rivesaltes Red Blend 1945

18.5 very special. Such a complete wine, rich but not cloying, very long. Perfect with Stilton. But even better by itself. — 6 years ago

Gérard Bertrand

Vin Doux Naturel Rivesaltes Grenache 1985

Riktigt härlig med massa lager av doft och smak. Lite oloroso möter tawny port. Nöt, knäck, fikon, farinsocker, vanilj och ett hundratal till smaker. Väldigt lättdrucken och len för att vara starkvin på 20%. Priset är till råga på allt också oerhört lågt. — 7 years ago
