I don't know if this really feels like Miles to me, but don't let that dissuade you. A fun sparkling wine with interesting complexity from a unique area and grapes. Fiano and Aglianico (what?) bring a fruity notes likes peach and maybe even some sour cherry or strawberry? Or is that just my mind thinking about the Aglianico? Some unique herbal notes, perhaps oregano or rosemary, not 'green'. Finishes dry with a polite bit of chalky minerality. This is my kind of bubbles, though I know I'm a heretic when it comes to sparkling. — 10 years ago

One of my favorites. Had another bottle of this Pinot Noir (69%) and Chardonnay (31%), blend which spent four years on the yeast. Tiny bubbles with stone fruit aromas and rich baking dough. The palate shows apples and citrus tones with a nutty flavor, time seems to intensify the wine as I had this 6 mos ago. The bubbly had good length on the rich and creamy finish, dry with plenty of yeasty notes. Nice! — 9 years ago

A wine experience of a lifetime, we we enjoying a meal in Bordeaux Centre when our hosts poured this wine blind for us. They ask me to guess what it was. Since this was a long dinner, I had plenty of time. But I worked quickly and guessed Château Margaux. Why? I am not sure, but I went on and said that this wine was either the 1983 or 1986. I had no prompts; I didn't even know that it came out of our hosts cellar. It may have been on the wine list, I never even looked. I just broke down the wines elegance, excellent structure and softened tannins. Now before we get too excited here. I could have been a million miles away with my guess, but it wouldn't have matter. Right or wrong, close or far away, this is always a good exercise for those serious about be a well trained wine taster. The hosts and present company were actually amazed. One is never really wrong with their guesses, though to nail a wine out of the blue was really cool!😏#bordeaux #margaux #chateaumargaux #guessthiswine — 12 years ago
More Margaret River tonight - just couldn't get enough. I will say this: particularly, this wine is not for the Barossa fan. It is more of a Crozes Hermitage kinda wine with more acidity, softer and fresher fruit, and floral qualities.
👃damp red fruit, fresh rosemary and basil herbs, anise, red flowers
👅raspberry, black and green peppercorn, herbes de Provence, red apple skin, red plum
Fresher fruit forwardness than Crozes Heritage, but super similar. Margaret River is very French in style. — 7 years ago

OMG!! What a sick bottle of wine this is.
Drinks like a Fine French Bordeaux!!!
Forest floor, earth, a little funk on the nose, very well structured and a phenomenal finish. If only I would have bought this for the release price of $69!!
Would have, could have, should have, as they say!! — 9 years ago
