Domaine Cazes Vin Doux Naturel, Rivesaltes, Languedoc Roussillon

1980 Domaine Cazes, Rivesaltes – Vin Doux Naturel

A beautifully preserved example of Vin Doux Naturel from one of Roussillon’s most respected and historic producers. Domaine Cazes, founded in 1895 in Rivesaltes, is renowned for its mastery of long-aged fortified wines — and this 1980 vintage is a superb showcase of that heritage.

Made primarily from Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, and Macabeu, the wine was fortified to arrest fermentation, preserving the natural grape sugars, and then aged for decades in old oak casks under gently oxidative conditions.

It pours a deep amber-gold with flashes of copper. …

Jacob Gerhardt Neirsteiner Schlosskellerein, Auslese Rheinhessen
Sweet White Wine

The 1980 Eiswein is a sweet dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine. The sugars and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, allowing for a more concentrated grape juice to develop.

The high residual sugar concentration give these wines great ageing properties - we tasted this bottle over two days. Served chilled from the fridge after a 4 hour decant. The colour is a light-amber with green tinge around the rim of the glass. Fresher than another bottle from a different region. There are honey notes, apricots and sultana notes on the nose. …

d'Abruzzo, Vecchio Colle

Montepulciano is a red wine grape variety grown widely in central Italy, most notably its eastern Abruzzo, Marche and Molise regions. The variety was named after the Tuscan parish of Montepulciano, but, confusingly, is not used in the famous wines produced there (see Vino Nobile di Montepulciano). Globally appreciated for their soft flavors, strong color and gentle tannins, Montepulciano wines are typically best consumed in their youth and with food. The deep-purple juice of Montepulciano grapes is used in varying proportions to produce wines under roughly 50 of Italy's DOC and DOCG titles. Although sometimes used on its own, …

Poderi Scanavino

The Nebbiolo has a lovely earthy bouquet. The nose has cherries, dark cherries, tar and slight dried rose notes. Complex and layered. Nice acidity. Medium tannins still present. Cherries on the palate too. Nice finish. Great food wine. Nebbiolo is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines. Though generally only medium-bodied, the wines possess rose and anise scented aromatics and deep flavors of cherry, orange peel and subtle green herb tones.
