Dom Brial Grande Réserve Rivesaltes

Roasty, nutty, hints of spice. Also reminiscent of Korean herbal medicine

Une préférence pour le 1969 qui est juste excellent.

1999 - holly shit this is tremendous. ‘99 Rivesaltes GC in perfect condition. Just layered with raisin, sultana, marmalade, dried apricot and crushed walnuts. This is so youthful and vibrant through the palate with acidity that balances the sugar with effortless precision. Exceptional stuff. Best wine I’ve drank in 2020 99pts.

toffee dried apricot honey sweet and very good aroma intensity. very gorgeous wine for dessert.

Un vin magnifique, d'une grande complexité ! Rempli d'arôme de tabac, de fruits mûrs, de bois et de chêne, très bon en apéritif ! Une pépite

Le meilleur de Dom Brial et de loin Une puissance affirmée : zestes confits d'orange, de melon, de citron, de la figue sèche, du tabac blond, du cuir très fin, de la vanille bourbon... ça n'en finit pas, chaque goutte apporte son lot personnel Tout simplement sublime

Un petit Jésus en culotte de velours

Honey, nut, dried apricot, dried peach, candied peel. Lights out

L un des grands rivesaltes qu'il m a été donné de goûter! Des notes de miel et d amandes extrêmement léger... incroyable en accompagnant des fromages persillés

Exceptionnel équilibre finesse et richesse. T belle longueur.

Een blend van de twee Grenache's plus Macabeu. Een klein beetje oxidatieve toetsen, maar heerlijke geroosterde nootjes als aroma's. Zoet-zuur-balans is perfect. Super bij banana split.

Dried apricots, candied rasins, a delectable drop , very special

A taste of history here w. this Macabeo, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris blend from south of Corbières & aged 40years in foudre. Pale tawny. Pronounced aroma intensity w. raisin, caramel, toffee, Demerara, honey & fig. Sultana, dried lemon peel, dried apricot & date. Fully developed. Sweet. Very rich & lusciously creamy w. raisin, sultana, fig & honey. Baked apple, caramelised citrus peel, toffee & caramel. Fully bodied w. low alc (for a fortified @ 16%), high acid, low wood tannin & a long deca

Very nutty, raisin smell. Super nutty like almond, coffee. Unlike usual fortified wine, there is no alcohol taste. Amazing.

Outstanding, obscure dessert wine. Flavor and texture-wise, it sits between a port and a traditional French dessert wine. Don’t drink it too cold, it should be just chilled.

First impression -wtf...it smells rum, why I have to pay for it? But after breathing... very intense raisin and apricot aroma with smoky notes(as if it were whiskey). with honey, apricot and caramel taste. Quite straightforward and intense taste. Being 15,5% and 20 years old it is a very easy drink

Þetta er svo ljúft og gott! Styrkt sætvín, smà út í sherrí en samt mjúkt og vel balancerað í ætt við Sauternes ... geggjað stöff

Wow, quelle découverte ! Vraiment super pour fêter l’anniversaire !!!! Super évolué avec une complexité et une longueur incroyable. C’est magnifique.

Sehr schöner Rivesaltes, ideal als Aperitif oder auch zu Pasteten. Auch mit 32 Jahren noch frisch und intensiv im Geschmack,

Notes d'abricot sec, de miel et d'une longueur folle. Excellent Rivesaltes

Robe intense, rousse. Nez intense sur la noix, les fruits confits (coing), le miel, la figue, la cannelle. En bouche c’est liquoreux, alcooleux et à l’acidité moyenne. Corps puissant et belle longueur. Un vin excellent

👁 une robe ambrée d’intensité moyenne 👃🏼 un nez intense sur des fruits confits (coing, orange, figue), miel, cannelle 👄 une bouche puissante mais équilibrée aux notes confites. Belle persistance ✍🏼 un superbe Rivesaltes ambré intense et complexe, qui présente en plus un équilibre et une longueur en bouche.

Une merveille Robe ambrée ambrée de teinte tire d’érable ou caramel doré. Nez agréable avec des arômes de caramel, de pâte d’amande, de pain d’épices, de zeste d’orange et de cassonade grillée. Un plaisir en bouche. Il n’est pas trop sucré avec une bonne acidité. On y retrouve des notes de pain d’épices, de zeste d’orange, d’amande et de crème brûlée.

Da uve bianche. Maccabeu greache blanc grenach gris Passa 20 anni in botte Rosmarino liquerizia Veramente buono!

Em 2017. Fantástica complexidade, no aroma... Própolis, algo ranço... Muito particular. Boca espetacular.

Excelente. Degustado na Foire Aux Vins em 25/09/23 na Casa das Caldeiras.

Très très mielleux, un peu oxydé (mais dans le bon sens), noix, abricot sec et vanille. Excellent !

Quelle jeunesse ! Au nez, du miel, amende, sous bois. En bouche l'équilibre est parfait. Juste assez d'acidité pour avoir de la tension, du sucre mais léger, sans bouche pâteuse. Et une très belle longueur. Bref du grand art.

A truly beautiful white wine. Perfectly rounded with mellow tannins. A pefect harmony of dried apricots, amoretti biscuits, caramel and a hint of cinamon. Incredible value for this little known gem from le Sud.

Vin exceptionnel. Une puissance aromatique digne d'un alcool qui s'en dégage, une complexité incroyable.

향이 미쳤음... caramel nutty

My first but certainly not last rivesault, perhaps more complex than neighboring Sauternes. Caramel colouring and rich honey apricot and marmalade flavour.

Vinho doce VDN de Roussillon, maior região produtora da França nesse estilo. Incrível, tem no Brasil importado pela chezfrance.

It can brilliantly conclude any tasting, in combination with food/dessert or without. Complexity and charm for this VDN. 9,3 PM

Very nice Rivesaltes! On the young side, at 35 years of age. Sweet, but refreshing, with aromas of apricot, raisins, orange marmalade, citrus zest, honey, caramel and sauna. Good, fresh acid.

Friday night tasting France, the "non famous zones".

Feira de vinhos Foire aux Vins da Chez France. Cor âmbar intenso, brilhante e muito bonito. Aromas intensos de mel, damasco, frutas compotadas e nozes. Acidez bem presente, açúcar na medida para um vinho de sobremesa. Final persistente.

Interesting. Bone dry yet has some yeast and some light walnut and light raisins. It was a weirdly filled with heavy traditional notes yet ethereal and light.

Drank at Mingles on 31 May 2025 as part of wine pairing. Wonderfully paired with the sweet dessert. Impressive!

Lovely dessert wine. Had in Mingles, Seoul.

貴腐菌よりは酒精強化より？のデザートワイン。表参道10/17

2023년 1월 폴레에서. 빈티지가 오래되어 알코올의 샤프한 느낌은 무뎌지고 잔잔하고 우아하게 들어가는 디저트 와인. 카라멜 처럼 부드러워서 초콜릿이나 달달한 과일과 같이 먹으면 맛있을 듯함.

캬라멜, 살구의 풍미. 마치 잘 담근 과실주같은 느낌이다. 디저트와인의 첫경험.

Tasted during our wine club night, very good Tasted like a Vin santo

Nutty. Oxidation. Less complexity. - 86

Complex nose of cigar box, mirabel prunes, candied orange, caramel, white chocolate, nuts. Nice acidity and length.

Rich, complex and opulent old fortified wine. Absolute oaky luciousness to the finish.

4++ pts. Lovely with lot of character. Over 20 years old, dark amber colour, raisins, dried apricot, oak, smoke in abondance, caramel, toffee, nutty, primarily roasted almond, some toast and orange marmalade, some kirsch and hints of cherry.

Roasted coffee beans, toffee, caramel, honeycombs on the nose. Smooth palate, silky and full bodied. Long juicy finish.

Cherry like very nice dessert fortified wine

Fig, apricot and orange peel flavours. Slightly oxidative and nutty on the nose. Touch of cloves.

A dessert on itself. Nice oxidization, sweetness, soft in alcohol (15,5).

Complex nose, dates, caramel, dark honey, nuts

Jaren geleden dat ik deze proefde, de 1989 had ik nog niet. De Languedoc is ondergewaardeerd en deze oxidatieve stijl wijn is echt exceptioneel: you love it or you hate it. Deze blend v Maccabeu, Grenache blanc & Grenache gris rustte 20 jaar op grote houten foeders. Dat resulteert in een mooi geambreerde dessertwijn met aroma’s en smaken van sinaas, vijg, kaneel, okkernoot, caramel, beurre noisette, gekarameliseerde suiker, gebrand hout, medium zuren, niet mierzoet, lange afdronk, niet beste ja
