Not bad, but I’d take the 17’ Leflaive Bourgogne any day over this. I liked how complex the nose was, and that it was textural and quite mineral, but I just couldn’t stand how sweet-fruited and oily the profile was. Very clearly a warm vintage Burg. Then again, Amiot does make more generous Chardonnay’s. Not for me, but I’d recommend this over any butter ball to lovers of “smash-mouth” wines. — 2 months ago

Urraca ‘Primera’ Reserva Single Vineyard 2005: Big. Bold. Flavorful. Black fruits. Plum. Vanilla. Oak. Spice. An exciting & expressive Argentinian Bordeaux blend that’s been waiting to be released. Consisting of 70% Malbec & 30% Merlot, that was a perfectly aged wine ready for enjoying “empanadas y vino en familia”! Happy Sunday wine lovers! Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago

April 25, 2020. Housewarming Gift from Jack D, Oct 2016. Pandemic quarantine cellar exploration. So many say ‘drink now!’ From reviews on Cellartracker was worried this might be past it’s prime. Perhaps for big fruity Napa cab lovers it is, but I found it to be quite lovely, despite >15% alcohol. Bordeaux blend by Orin Swift. Black fruit, tobacco. Full bodied. synthetic cork. 😣 — 4 years ago

Vintage 2004 | beautiful smell with flint, cedar, Scottish pipe tobacco and velvety taste. No need to keep this, for lovers of ripened wine, beautiful tertiary tones. Paired with horse fillet, polenta with porcini mushrooms, broccoli, bell pepper and yellow courgette. — 10 months ago

2018 vintage. Vacation wine!!!! Very welcome in the face of continued uncertainty after such a whirlwind year and a half. Tart cranberry, crabapple, unripe cherry, lime, autumn leaves, dust, black rocks, rosehips, tea. Great alternative for Burgundy lovers. — 3 years ago

Always one of the best quality/price/pleasure ratios in Morocco. The solar syrah, but with balance.. superb vinification, modern trend, purity, floral, silky touch. The syrah expresses itself wonderfully. To be tested at least once for lovers of the Rhône Nord.

Toujours l’un des meilleurs rapports qualité/prix/plaisir du Maroc. La syrah solaire, mais à l’équilibre.. vinification superbe, tendance moderne, pureté, floral, toucher soyeux. La syrah s’y exprime à merveille. A tester au moins une fois pour les amateurs du Rhône Nord. — 2 years ago

It needs time to open up
After a while it really reminds of a Burgundy
It has class to sell
Less funky than the 2018, but still very fleshy and delicious
It might be that the winemaking hands are changed, but not the beauty of the wine.
Again not a rose for the lovers of a classic Provence crisp rose, more towards being a red i reckon
This wine i am sure can age quite well for few years. It is definitely something you at least wanna try once, but i would not be surprised if you get hooked.

Really great merlot. As CWM said, a merlot for Cab lovers! Full bodied, but still light enough to drink on its own without too much of the heavy mouth feel. — 4 years ago
