Deep ruby/purple; pronounced intensity aromas of blueberry jam, dried black plum, juicy blackberry, vanilla, cream, toast; dry, medium acid, medium ripe tannins, high alcohol, full body, pronounced intensity flavors consistent with aromas; a big jammy wine but well balanced with structure and oak, very hot — 5 years ago

Major slurp alert 🚨
She’s a beautiful bubbly nasty rosé. Hints of plum and apricot. Tart and dry divine. — 6 years ago

I think this is my favorite bottle of the Majestique that I have ever had. I wonder if is that I have allowed this to age more than previous bottles? I’ll have to try another bottle to check out my theory. — 5 years ago

It’s spectacular, but I wonder if Double Magnums shouldn’t be a protected species. Bit of pepper. — 5 years ago

Just a really enjoyable wine that is both hearty and even “ big” but still refreshing.
Clearly some Brett and some effervescent feel like may hint at VA, but I find both to be well integrated and enjoyable. A deep darker-side-of-red fruit profile: red and damson plum, dried red cherry, Black licorice, olive. Has a floral sense to it, and some exotic woody undertones as well earth - like a forest after the rain . A full bodied and almost lush wine that might recall the mouthfeel if a Napa cab, but with much more refreshing a acidity coming through - never the least bit cloying or overwrought. Simply a great wine with a broad food pairing potential. That said, I do wonder if it would taste dramatically different at the source. With zero sulphur amidst a long boat ride, life in distributor warehouses, a wine shop and ultimately my euro cave, whether the original intent is preserved in its entirety. Drinking fantastically but also wondering if peak drinking is 2-3 years ahead. Again, the sulphur thing... — 7 years ago
