2003 L'Étoile Banyuls Grand Cru Prestige

Grenache Blend, Grenache more

4/28/2024 - amateur62 Likes this wine: 93 points

Grenache Noir 75%, Grenache Gris 15% and Garignan from old vies 10%, aged 10 years in old oak barrels (barrique and demi-muids), 16.5% vol.

PnP and enjoyed over 3 days. Nice nose with fig, walnut and dark berry fruit, on the palate good balance between sweetness, freshness and tannic structure, dense, intense and long. It was not ideal with sweet dishes but it was superb with blue cheese, 93+.

One of the best wines from this winery I have ever tasted and worth the attribute “Grand Cru” with the typical mix of dark fruit and oxidative notes, best when slightly cooled at about 10 to 12°C.

2018 Domaine Piétri-Géraud Banyuls Cuvée du Soleil

Grenache Blend, Grenache more

4/17/2024 - talbot61 Likes this wine: NR

At the winery, Collioure: This wine is aged outside oxidatively in glass demijohns for four years. 80% grenache gris and 20% grenache blanc. This is the liveliest and most interesting of the sweet wines, relatively fresh and light, slightly lower in alcohol (15.5% vs. 17-18% for the more traditional Banyuls cuvees).

2017 Domaine Piétri-Géraud Banyuls Cuvée Méditerranée

Grenache Blend, Grenache more

4/17/2024 - talbot61 Likes this wine: NR

At the winery, Collioure: Similar to the traditional Banyuls, but aged for four years rather than seven, and more in new oak. This was also attractive but we preferred the traditional cuvee (Joseph Geraud).

2015 Domaine Piétri-Géraud Banyuls Cuvée Joseph Geraud

Grenache Blend, Grenache more

4/17/2024 - talbot61 Likes this wine: NR

At the winery, Collioure: This is the traditional vin doux naturel, a blend of grenache noir and gris with 10% carignan, aged oxidatively for seven years with the residue of previous vintages. This was our favorite of the sweet wines, with flavors of walnut and fig, an excellent value at 23 euros but still, to my taste, lacking in balancing acidity.

2022 Domaine Piétri-Géraud Banyuls Mademoiselle O

Grenache Blend, Grenache more

4/17/2024 - talbot61 Likes this wine: NR

At the winery, Collioure: 100% grenache noir, aged briefly without oxidization, resulting in a fresher, sweet wine -- more fruit and less nuts. This is easy to drink, but would need more acidity to elevate out of the 'pleasant' category.

In der Nase reife, getrocknete rote Steinfrüchte, dazu recht ausgeprägt nussig und mit etwas Garrigue.

Am Gaumen mit sehr guter Balance, wunderbarem Spiel, gut eingebundener Süße und sehr saftiger Säure.

Recht lang und eben gerade nicht alkoholisch.

2014 Oiseau Rebelle Banyuls VVNT

Grenache Gris, Grenache more

3/13/2024 - Madi Likes this wine: 92 points

A very special wine. Golden almost orange color, intensive nose with alcohol and sherry tastes. Needs a lot of air. If you drink it too soon the taste is a bit flat and mostly of dry sherry. Later (at least 24h) it becomes very rich, well balanced and of orange fruits. I’ve read a review that said apricot and candied pears. I agree, especially with the candied part, the taste is very creamy. Altogether it is a very enjoyable wine that fits well with foods like pork and egg. Not like any other wine I’ve ever had.

What a treat to savor and contemplate. Top notch producer and I cherished the opportunity to be able to enjoy this over several days. A lot of sediment. Better to decant or use a Port filter.

Robe rubis foncé et dense. Au nez des framboises, des cerises et une touche d'alcool. Une bouche sur les cerises et la craie. Passablement sucrée, la finale est longue et puissante.

My 2nd btl, day of the plop.

Fun bottle with a golden bow and gilded engraving. 35th Anniversary of a "Burial Service" company. Linear and just as boring when plopping today as when I plopped the previous bottle. Hope this also goes well with a little rest under the cork. The previous bottle eventually made it to 100p.
Today this is certainly good and balanced, but lacks layers, finesse and complexity.

———————————

Skoj flaska med gyllene rosett och förgylld gravering. 35th Anniversary av ett företag inom "Burial Service". Linjär och lika trist vid plopping idag som då jag ploppade förra flaskan. Hoppas denna också går till sig med liten vila under korken. Förra flaskan tog sig så småningom till 100p. Idag är detta förvisso gott och balanserat, men saknar lager, finess och komplexitet.

2020 Domaine La Tour Vieille Banyuls Rimage

Grenache Blend, Grenache more

2/15/2024 - Janda_42 Does not like this wine: NR

Eye: Medium ruby

Nose: Red fruit. Plums, prunes, cooking spice. Feet.

Palate: It’s like if someone raisinated and sweetened some cdr. Moderately sweet. Prunes. Red fruit. Vinous. Pomegranate. Loads of crème de cassis

Finish: Short. Lightly sweet and red. Lingering curry spice.

Overall: I expected something closer to Port. I don’t think Banyuls are for me. There’s just something about sweet grenache that doesn’t sit right with my palate. I suspect that I drank this bottle far too young.

This is a lot better today than it was on my last note two years ago. At that point it was still a bit one-dimensional, but today it has quite a nice complexity.

This is today very expressive, with a long finish. Really a gorgeous wine! And with the development during these two years since my last note, it will most certainly develop positively for several years more.

Strawberry, stewed fruits, vanilla in nose / mouth. Acidity and tannins give balance to the sweetness. Good body and finish. Good pairing with chocolate / coffee desserts.

. Classic MAs Blanc, up there with a vintage port but a distinctly Grenache profile. Wonderful, I thought it might be over the hill but far from it - could go another 20+ years. Secondary flavors just arriving, but delicious nonetheless.

Was really curious to try this 17% wine (acquired as part of a TWS mystery case), and find out how sweet it was (it was quite), but it was pretty damn corked...
