I must say I was not expecting a great deal from this NV champagne but was very pleasantly surprised. Good mouthfeel, soft bubbles, not too sweet, and just a hint of apple on the nose and palette.

I find this to be excellent value for money, a great example of Margaux, good nose, lovely fine tannins giving rise to a lovely mouthfeel.

I swear this wine is getting better, an absolute steal at £6 a bottle

Nicer than I expected. Not too sweet, quite a dry finish.

This has a wonderful sweet cherry nose, the aromas are quite wonderful. Very very enjoyable wine

Nice wine, needs longer to develop.

Very enjoyable, drank over 2 days much softer on the second day

Worth noting that this wine is even better a day later

As crazy as it sounds, I actually prefer the 2006 from this chateau, which was cheaper and of a higher quality.

a little nicer than the last one!

Was not expecting much from this, but was pleasantly surprised, a lighter fruity styled Bordeaux, pop and pour! Enjoy!

Good quality bordeaux, fruit came through on the second day.

Light fruity bordeaux, decent viscosity, good value for £9.

Perfectly decent everyday bordeaux.

Gave 4 hours breathing time, good viscosity, lovely black cherries on palette, dark fruit on the nose, decent finish, nice mouthfeel.

Citrus flavours on palate, good finish.

I must say this was like a completely different bottle of wine! Nice finish, good dark fruit flavours, blackberries black cherry, even an enjoyable nose!

fruity and easy to drink, quite enjoyable especially at $11 a bottle!

Wonderful blackberry nose!! Dark fruits nice mouthfeel good finish

The quality of this wine was noticeable upon opening, unfortunately I must admit that it did not improve on the second day which I was not expecing. Very good dark fruit flavours and nose (black cherries, blackberries), good finish.

Surprisingly good, pencil shavings on the nose, decent fruit, pop n pour!

2/28/2012 - Xsagaroth wrote:

alot of dark fruit aromas on the nose, blueberries, a little blackberry and on the 2nd day cherry but the mouth feel doesnt match up still feels tannic and clunky, will leave this for another 6 months.

2/26/2012 - Xsagaroth wrote:

very big blackberry nose, good crimson colour, needs to breath for 2-3 hours before drinking, peppery notes once breathed, good finish.

12/31/2011 - Xsagaroth wrote:

very nice, crisp, dry with an fragrant almost floral aroma on the nose.

What a lovely bottle! Nice and peppery on the pallate, very nice!

Enjoyable, but not quite as tawny as i was expecting.

Light refreshing wine, nice fruity flavours and the extra body you would expect from a good Macon.

Very soft and fruity on the pallete, decent length, an enjoyable GV and not too pricey.

11/25/2011 - Xsagaroth wrote:

Very nice as with the MANY other bottles of this wine I have consumed, noticed a little more apple on the pallate than Ive noticed in other bottles, and this one was not as cold as I would normally drink, but still just a wonderful white burgundy.

As with all my other reviews, straight forward claret, great for the price.

Straight forward fizz.

At first opening, clearing the shoulder into a glass reveals a dark crimson colour, the nose is restrained as expected but hints at the dark fruit within as does the palatte. On the second day a good black cherry nose, softer, plumper, as with many good bordeaux patience pays dividends.

im sorry but this is awful, bitter taste, and a smell of mold. 2nd bottle. avoid

Good colour opaque crimson, red cherries, blackberries on the nose, nice mouthfeel, almost sweet aftertaste absolute steal for the price

What a superb buy!
Once opened you are greeted by a deep crimson colour that when held to the light lets nothing through, upon closer inspection the palatte is treated to a lovely peppery dark fruit combination and the nose a spicebox aroma.

Big wine, lots of black fruit flavours, tannins that assure me that this wine has a long future, clean fresh nose.

coq au vin tasted great, what didnt go in the pot went in the glass and at £7 a bottle was perfectly decent.

30 mins of breathing required before engaging. Graphite, dark fruit, lovely.

"Unique"
I have not tasted a champagne quite like this before or since. The sweetness centre pallette vs the ginger flavour on the side pallette is hard to match.

7/11/2011 - Xsagaroth wrote:

Soft fruity bordeaux, great for cooking and drinking alike, and who can complain at 11$ a bottle??? I use this wine mostly for day to day drinking and coq au vin.

7/11/2011 - Xsagaroth wrote:

Not as distinct with the graphite/pencil shavings flavour as the first bottle I had from this, however still a good colour and nose.

7/4/2011 - Xsagaroth wrote:

What a wonderful wine! Lovely crimons colour, great black fruit flavours on the palate and nose, and a rather pleasant hint of graphite / pencil shavings too, these softened away completely on the 2nd day just leaving a lovely plump black cherry flavour to the wine.

This bottle was far better on the 2nd day of drinking. Good black cherry sort of colour, nose, palette well worth letting breathe for a good while!
