  3/27/2023 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 94 Points

  Retail $80? From magnum. I picked this up from my dear friend's wine cellar shortly after his death, when his widow encouraged me to take at least a few bottles back home after visiting her in Paris. Shortly before his death, he had purchased several dozen magnums from Domaine Rolet, which was in the process of being sold, following the death of its patriarch.Golden, even amber in the glass with a clearly oxidized aspect in the glass. Nutty, a hint of citrus, and that clearly sherried note on the nose. The palate is unctuous, almost to the point of giving off a desert wine vibe, but without the sweetness. Whoa. Oxidized wines are not for everyone, but if they are in your wheelhouse, this is a compelling example.
