11/7/2020 - wkasimer Likes this wine: 86 pointsNot the absolutely most awesome Rioja I’ve ever had, but it was balanced and enjoyed after about an hour of decanting with a flight of Spanish cheeses and warm bread.

5/1/2017 - tcosgriff Likes this wine: 88 pointsPurple color with a little brown in the rim. Nondescript fruitiness with no real progression to a finish. Fair balance but with no nuance or depth. Simply dull. This is the last of my 2000 Chateauneuf-du-Papes, none of which was very distinguished despite the high ratings. This is one of my major disappointments as a dedicated wine drinker, but I have learned to distrust ratings, particularly when predicting how wines will develop many years out, and how easy it is to hype wines. Live and learn.

9/8/2018 - Neecies Does not like this wine: 81 pointsEgads. From Trader Joe's. Has definite syrah typicity in the background but it's otherwise mobbed by heavy, blueberry, overtly sweet brown sugar and toasted barrel notes that more likely came from a lab, not a vineyard. Further evidence of tampering is in the unnatural mouthfeel--after a few sips, it's like someone sprayed latex all over the inside of your mouth. And water doesn't wash it away. When to drink next? NEVER!

4/14/2018 - macaujames wrote: 88 pointsThis got a 95 from Decanter. Could this have been a vin de cuvee? Who knows, this is nowhere near a 95. This has aromas of blueberries, vanilla, raspberries and spice. Its medium bodied linear and compact blue fruits and cloves palate has nice freshness. Ends mediumish and zingy. 13.5%. This is food friendly with nice tomatoey garlicky meatballs, chorizo tapas dishes and hard cheeses. Good value at under 6 Euros for a Rioja Reserva.

1985 Château BeychevelleSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/23/2016 - Collector1855 wrote: 91 pointsDuring a merchant tasting. Medium light brick. Expressive nose of barnyard funk, cedar, some vegetable. The animalic note is very dominant in this vertical of Beychevelle. I generally like that touch but with this Cru I am getting a bit too much of it. I think the issue is not the terroir scent here but the fact that their is not enough concentrated blue fruit aroma to balance it. Soft body with caressing tannins and good finish. Needs a bit more stuffing. Fully mature, drink up.

4/9/2016 - bcarso Likes this wine: 89 pointsPlease people---76 average? Granted it's not Figeac, but at the price (TJs, I paid about 13!) a great value. To be able to buy a wine with this much bottle age, that is made impeccably while having the potential for further improvement with aging is unusual. I guessed Merlot and Cab Franc but missed the 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Not overoaked, credible nose, very food-friendly even with pop and pour. I went back for more.

3/18/2016 - bravenec Does not like this wine: 50 pointsFind a dog. Follow it around until it urinates. Collect the urine. Drink the dog urine instead of this wine. Truly terrible, with off-putting taste and odor of turpentine and manure.

7/11/2015 - MicklethePickle wrote: 92 pointsThis is an excellent value, and further proof of the ability of less heralded properties to make special wines in this region in great years, at prices that are very friendly to the pocketbook of less than well-heeled wine lovers. Very dark cranberry, virtually opaque. Nice big red tears on the side of the glass. Excellent fruit in the nose, with pretty, rich anise notes. I love this nose! Polished fruit in the mouth on entry, which then builds in richness and chewiness to a medium-full-bodied crescendo with good black fruit at the fore. Mouth filling. And really amazing at the price point. In my opinion, one would pay at least 2-3 times the price for an American cab or Merlot of this quality. 4-13-16-9: 92/100.

4/14/2014 - mdefreitas wrote: 84 pointsNot much of a nose. A bit tight on the palate. Not much length. Unexciting and boring. UPDATE: On day 2 this improved a bit, with the nose offering up some dark fruits and tar. Still a bit simple and short, though.

9/22/2013 - yofog wrote: 86 pointsMostly black and blue fruits, particularly plums, I'm guessing because it's rather overripe, with a good deal of heat, as well. A very fruit forward style, with coffee. Lots of tannins, and coarse ones at that. Not pleasing.

3/14/2012 - studleytrey wrote: 89 pointsThis is a nice weeknight dinner wine, and I'm not sure about Spectator's "long time from now" window, but I think it's drinking well right now. It needs 30 mins. to 1 hr. of air to come together, and the color is deep a ruby. Nose of red fruits and flowers, blueberries, and a touch of oak. Medium bodied on the palate with a medium finish, and notes of strawberry, tart cranberry and raspberry. There's good acidity here (on the high end), making this a good option for pizza and pasta with red sauce, but it's versatile enough for roasted chicken, pork chops, or veggie dishes as well.

4/4/2014 - Robert Pavlovich Likes this wine: NRDark fruits, good freshness on a mostly closed nose. Sweet, sappy extract stands out on the palate. Good measure of acid and oak in the background. A great success for its level, and a poster child for the old adage "little guys in big years".

1/18/2014 - LopedeAguirre Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is a great wine. Appearance is bright red, healthy. Bouquet does not anticipate the explosion of fruit and leather. A very well balanced wine with hints of mint, wood, strawberry, lead pencil. Long finish. Buy more and store....
