Sheridan Vineyard
Merlot 2014
Mystique - a fascinating aura of mystery, awe, and power surrounding someone or something.
I'd say the label holds true. Power trapped in a bottle. Such a dark purple wine. Full of cedar-like aromas, clove, and burnt coffee bean. The pallet was gripping, and rustic, exhibiting notes of under ripe blackberries, raspberries, lavender, black tea, wet hot rocks, and a very everlasting gripping finish. 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc; definitely needs some age but bravo.
Cheers!

Destilerias Unidas S.A.
Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva Rum
I did not know about Baba au Rhum until Valerie corrupted me. They left the bottle on the table and she poured more rum into the cake. — 10 years ago
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)
Cuvée Duvault-Blochet Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2011
Certainement dans le top 3 des vins que j'ai bu. Peut-être le meilleur. Très jeune,il aura fallu attendre 1h de carafe avant que les parfums se révèlent totalement et évoluent jusqu'à la dernière gorgée. Fin, soyeux et pourtant d'une puissance aromatique folle ! — 11 years ago
Aura
Chardonnay
With a semi-dry comes a fruity pleasure. Though consider semi-dry this Aura Chardonnay has a pleasantly robust apple finish making for a delectable enjoyment during dinner, formal settings or relaxation. — 12 years ago
