This wine is full of complex grace and subtlety, which is nice considering it’s heavy weight and prominent features. Has a petrol nose that evolves well into cinnamon rich apple pie. Has a soft underlying floral scent as well. Drinks like juicy, slightly overripe peaches and more cinnamon. I like the dusty dry quality it leaves. — a day ago

Incredibly complex. Wow… Where to even begin? Quite fragrant: waxed golden apple, green pear, pepper, and lots of lemon rind. The lemon and wax continue when drunk, but the apple turns to pear with intense acid, cream and vanilla and a touch of honey. This wine has no idea what it wants to be, and that makes it fun as hell. — a month ago

This bottle over delivers on price - great value! Steamed rice and grapefruit aromas lead to a complex nose which is fun. It’s silky smooth texture, heavy on the mineral side, but pairs well with some great Asian spices and fried foods. — 2 months ago

Incredibly unique! Made from cacao fruit (not grapes) that’s a byproduct of the fermentation process in chocolate production. Julio, the winemaker and chocolatier, also a Belizean Mayan, creates everything organically and by hand, sourcing his cacao from local farmers in the area. He tries to waste nothing, and uses every bit of ‘waste’ from the chocolate making process in all kinds of ways. When one ferments the cacao fruit, 65% comes out in the form of fermented cacao wine. Not knowing what to do, he was dumping this stuff out for years before he realized he could sell it - and it sells out to the locals fast! Bottled in plastic bottles and hand labeled, it’s truly a small batch operation. And what’s even cooler is that this tastes great! Opaque brown in color. Smells like tropical fruits - kiwi, pineapple, mango and fig. Some roasted flavors too. Great acidity and structure which I was not expecting. Has a nice long finish. Flavors are what you’d expect if you eat high end dark chocolate. Certainly has the expected dark chocolate notes, but lots of citrus, banana, mango, coffee, and some other roasted flavors. Nothing else like it. — a month ago

Drank over two days May 2022. Initially floral on the nose, lilacs and iris’, with a tight ripe raspberry and strong acid finish. Mellowed in 24 hours and rounded out to become more dark fruit and refreshing. Both styles were enjoyable, though I prefer the latter. Excellent! — a month ago

Funky bottle shapes and sizes get to me, and Colares’ 600mL bottle always make me smile. The wine inside is just as cool and unique. Dark straw color with an apple and herbaceous nose. An oily, thicker texture that coats my whole mouth. Not flabby though. Salty sea air, tropical fruits, golden apples, slight oxidation. Complex and fun. — 2 months ago

I mean.. let’s be honest. This kind of sucks, but we’re in Belize and good wine is hard to come by. So it’ll do with my meal. A bit rough and dusty smelling. I get some fruit, but can’t make it out. Structure is flimsy and sloppy. Sometimes you wonder if it’s even worth reviewing some wines. — a month ago

Bored and isolated in the basement with Covid - drank this over two evenings and enjoyed it both nights. Pinot dominant, but more structure from its other blended varietals. Started vegetal and opened into some wood shavings and cherry. Some oxidation? I don’t hate it. Strawberry and woody accents. Nice and pleasing and thoughtful. — a month ago

A piña colada in sake form - very fun and a big time crowd pleaser! Creamy, smooth, and unfiltered. Medium bodied texture that reminds me of pulpy orange juice. Roasted coconut, pineapple, some grapefruit and banana. — 2 months ago

A really expressive trollinger here with the typical unripened strawberry and grapefruit. What was cool was the splash of watermelon bubble gum flavor. Has a nice initial fizz texture that didn’t last long, but was still a pleasant low alcohol sipper. — 2 months ago
