2024. This year’s nouveau wine from D&G is very similar to the last two vintages that we’ve enjoyed. Slightly tart cranberry and red berry flavors. Served chilled with chicken and sausage gumbo. — 7 days ago

2014 vintage. Last tasted 11.18.22 (9.3). This sample open for approx 18 hours and still packing a wallop. 16% with heavy body. Not my style but phenomenal. No rush to crush. 12.04.24. — a month ago

Not all wines are made the same. Saxum, Andremily, and others are made in a similar style (even some CdPs, Cote Rotie’s) but don’t get the same comments.

We’ll agree mostly but. One needs to still look 👀 at these as a Somm at a major restaurant.

@Shay A You know I have been buying & enjoying Saxum for many years, not one vintage of Saxum has ever shown hot alcohol period or the way SQN does. Justin knows how to ferment alcohol in a way SQN does not care to. I have studied w/ 7 Master Somm’s for months & months before passing my Sommelier exam. They have on many occasions have referred to hot alcohol as a wine flaw and I have never disagreed w/ that statement. But I love 80’s Bordeaux’s at 12-12.5%. It is the modern wine drinker that appreciates high alcohol because there is a fair amount out there to consume. It is this that has defined the modern wheelhouse. It is what modern consumers have come to know and has created a palate preference or comfort. Cheers!

2022. We loved the 2019 Martha Stoumen Carignan we had this afternoon, so we wanted to try this D&G when we went looking for another bottle. A bit darker fruit flavor and earthier, and took ~15 minutes to open up. A little more tannic bite but paired equally well with leftover kebabs. — 2 months ago

Riktigt bra tryck och klarhet i denna. Skyhög häftig citronsmakande syra. Burgundisk karaktär. Koncentrerad. Fruktnyanserna är inte helt förlösta än, hade varit riktigt intressant att testa det här vinet lagrat. Det mest icke-amerikanska amerikanska vinet jag druckit. — 5 years ago
