(1567 views) | | | Tasted by Doblk on 8/27/2016 & rated 89 points: Pulled out for a rich chocolate dessert. Worked very well without being amazing. Popular with the table. (1476 views) | | | Tasted by camben on 3/25/2014 & rated 91 points: Fantastic to taste this. Use with blue cheese and chocolate (2570 views) | | | Tasted by yofog on 12/2/2013: Fruity and velvety with a perfect rs level, allowing it to be savory as well. (2668 views) | | | Tasted by petitblanc on 9/12/2013 & rated 92 points: No detailed note, but this showed very nicely, lots of simple but pure and very appealing grenache fruit and peppery spice, fine balance. An exceptional pairing with a sweet chocolate and mint dessert. Excellent value, to enjoy now. (2235 views) | | | Tasted by Grinner on 1/26/2013 & rated 91 points: PHMG WAG Paso Robles (Paso Lyon): OK, this has nothing to do with the theme of the evening other than "ripe fruit". I would've loved to find a late harvest Zin from the right region for a Paso Robles tasting, but not so easy in Eugene. SO, this is still a crazy good wine and one of the best with chocolate. The black fruit, spice, underbrush, and tar notes sing with dark chocolate with caramel and pink Himalayan salt (Vosges). (2516 views) | | | Tasted by spo on 10/22/2012 & rated 89 points: Candy, overipe almost rotting grenache fruit, raisin, tar and spice. Musky and rustic like Amarone or Valpolicella Ripasso just not as smooth. Interersting. Also brown sugar and orange. (2110 views) | | | Tasted by Kiltedtaz on 2/13/2012 & rated 86 points: wonderful. (1550 views) | | | Tasted by tooch on 9/22/2011: Winebow Trade Tasting (Palomar Hotel): I've always had trouble with Banyuls. This had a lot of tar and raisins...not my favorite style of wine.

David Schildknecht (7th June 2010) Languedoc-Roussillon Best Producers:http://bit.ly/do0LQa Roussillon Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins du RoussillonBanyulsBanyuls-dels-Aspres is a French commune , located in the department of Pyrenees-Orientales and the region Languedoc-Roussillon . Its inhabitants are called Banyulencs. It lies near the Mediterranean Ocean and just a few miles from the Catalonian region of Spain. Banyuls wines are sweet, fortified vins doux naturels. They range in hue from golden-green to amber to deep red. They are predominately made from Grenache Noir, along with other Grenache grapes and a very little Muscat. In taste, they are similar to a Rasteau from the southern Rhone (also Grenache Noir) and a ruby Port.
