Fig paste and ancho jelly, baked chocolate cookie, black currant and dried plum with a cinnamon dirt clod scent. Cinnamon apple with a big dollop of blackberry, licorice, black currant, dark toast, doesn't drop off or thin out like a lot in it's class. Cedar peppers the finish. — 10 years ago

Champagne to start, claret with the beef & port with the cheese makes for a happy boy- add four of the loveliest wine pro ladies to the guest list and it is almost to much! This is the best Quinta port I have had, big, rooty and still full of dark sweet fruit. The wine had the acid to balance out the size, and the grace notes to pair perfectly with old cheddar, Cotswold and Point Reyes Blue. What a night of wines! — 10 years ago
Garnet in color. And oh the mocha. Thaaaaaaa mochaaaaa. And the vanilla, too. This nose is KILLING IT with those coffee beans, cocoa beans, and vanilla beans. There’s also cassis and black cherries playing the fruit role, with cedar and charcoal and mint as a supporting cast. It’s medium to full bodied with a dusty mouthfeel and hot tannin. There’s flavors of black cherries, juicy plums, burnt caramel, and ancho chiles. It finishes hot and dry with flavors of plums, pencil shavings, and ancho chiles. — 8 years ago

Cherry cola dust, moth ball, pink peppercorn, chocolate pudding skin, pipe tobacco, smoky ancho chile, leathery cherries. Palate is round, chewy and tart like red vines licorice with a little bit of spice. Chalky with lots of lingering perfumy florals. — 10 years ago

Paired with ground beef chili with homemade ancho chile seasoning. This wine was a great match, medium weight, good acidity to cut the spice and great fruit that is sun-warmed strawberries, blueberries and just enough from the Syrah (including black pepper and savory notes) to keep it from being too simple. Very long finish and well made. — 7 years ago
