Bought at Tipsy in Clinton Hill — 8 years ago
A lovely hand blown pre-coop bottle. A seriously dense wine! Nose is a little closed but opens up in the glass to reveal apricots, honey, marmalade, soaked sultanas, christmas pudding, and layers of complex floral notes. There is some acidity at the back but it's the sweetness that kicks you in the mouth; a dense, viscous, almost creamy sweetness that just hoes on and on. Perhaps that's my only criticism; that the sugar is a bit overpowering. There's great depth though, and it easily carried the alcohol, despite achieving what's likely to be 18-19% (not stated in the label, which simply reads "SAMOS"!). A phenomenal surprise and one of the best fortified wines of my life! — 8 years ago

Light and balanced but still lively for $11. Really into this one — 10 years ago
Amazing, refreshing chianti Sangiovese rose from Tuscany. Acidity, minerality, medium-dry summer quencher. If you're in Chicago, go to Perman Wine Shop and score a bottle. Can't get it anywhere else. Wow yum. — 10 years ago
I really like this one. Not super dry, jammy berry flavor. I bet this would be awesome with grilled meat. — 10 years ago

That was fun. A mutt that is predominantly Mencia but has a lot of other stuff because it was big. — 8 years ago

Wonderful. Delicious with roasted chicken and veg. — 7 years ago
Rich and smoky cherries, asks for some food thats been roasted, follows you around like you're on fire. Goes from low score to above 9 if you have the right companion elements. — 8 years ago
All you expect from Nebbiolo and a stellar cooperative at an early drinking approachable profile. The 2012 Barbaresco by contrast is lock down tannins! — 8 years ago
Chelsea's favorite. Not too sweet and excellent with turkey, vegetables and then cheesecake. — 8 years ago
