Proprietor's Reserve 2006 Customer Reviews

O’Vineyards Proprietor’s Reserve 2006 was delivered in the UK recently and the reviews are pouring in as quickly as the wine is being poured into glasses!

Try a bottle

Everybody orders in increments of six bottles.  Even though this is a wine they know can sit for a long time in their cellar, it’s only human to want to taste one straight away and evaluate for themselves how it will age and when would be the best time to open the other five!

So right away, we have a lot of people trying a bottle.

Comment on: Domaine O’Vineyards Proprietors Reserve 2006

Just sampled my new delivery of Propritor’s Reserve 2006 Cabardes. Wow! What a beautiful wine, gentle on the palate but full bodied. Tres bien Domain O’Vineyards!!

 How to cellar a wine

Once you discover the wine is good, it’s very hard to resist the temptation of drinking them all young on the fruit flavors!  One customer suggested her perfect solution: buy 2 cases ;D

Comment on: Domaine O’Vineyards Proprietors Reserve 2006

The characteristics of this wine make it go well with a wide range of foods. We tried it with tapas and each dish brought out different undertones. A real medley of tastes! I’d highly recommend trying it this way, but do include some spicy meats, chicken and cheese dishes. Wonderful and very smooth.

Agree it’s too powerful to drink on its own.
A very special wine to be savoured with every mouthful…

I’ve put 6 bottles aside, so there are 5 on my rack to indulge in whenever the urge takes us… now you’re thinking I’ve been a bit greedy buying 2 cases, but I’m very glad I did (at Market Place prices)! Well done Ryan and Joe… a votre sante!

 Dealing with Negative Feedback

I should confess that one person has given us a negative review on the wine.  It’s really great how Naked Wines puts me in direct contact with my wine drinkers, and this comment is a perfect example.  The man says he’s disappointed and “Delivery was left in porch foe some days” [sic]   A-ha!  I think that’s a good guess, and I recommend the best way to get his money back.  Crisis averted.

In the wine world, there is such a long chain of custody between vineyard and your cellar, there are a million things that can go wrong.  If he hadn’t offered this information, I’d be left scratching my head wondering how anybody could describe this wine as lacking oomph.  If anything, the major criticism of the O’Vineyards Reserve is too much oomph!  ;D  So here, the comment system allows me to discover what went wrong and offer the best course to rectify the problem.  All businesses should be so lucky!
