“A labor of love”, as described by the savior of the ancient Maury vines and wine broker Kimberly Jones, the courier truly bewitches the mind and ensnares the senses. This rich, flavorful potion is made from 70 year old Grenache wines and 100 year old Carignan vines. Delectable notes of stewed strawberries and black fruits tickle your nostrils as black plum, ripe raspberry, and dried herbs smoothly settle on your palet. Rich flavors of vanilla and leather follow suit. Would pair beautifully with roasted meats or dishes seasoned with rich and earthy spices like cumin or allspice. — 2 years ago

In 1805, Daniel Phelan, an Irish wine broker, acquired le Clos de Garamey, and was followed in 1810 by the acquisition of the Segur de Cabanac estate, creating the domain that remains today. Aromas and flavors of black cherry and blueberry with cacao, gentle oak and herb character. Firm grip on tannins, lingering this big wine to an earthy ending. Tight now give it some time, decanting helps if you must now! — 7 years ago

It is Andy Anderson who is the wine maker and Tuck Beckstoffer bought the winery! It is my first time and my wine broker Matt introduced me to this awesome wine. It is a must try and decant for at least a couple hours — 8 years ago

Incredible Rhône and Gigondas. Never heard of this vineyard although I have visited the region. Recommended by wine broker at Specs Liquors. Great value and a lovely wine. Good tannin that softens quickly.
Highly recommend - Will buy again — 6 years ago

Here's the story as presented, without any fact checking so I'm sure others will identify some mistakes... The winemaker was known as "the hermit of Lazio" as he went about making wines in his own way, built to age, and building up a vast library as he had little interest in selling his bottles. He made arrangements to sell his wine to a broker when his health was failing. The other act he took in the last months ahead of his death was to rip up all his vines because his daughter and heir married into a well known winemaking family that he didn't like and he couldn't face the prospect of them making his wine. This wine is a unicorn.

Earthy and slightly rustic, it retains red fruit qualities though rose, tar and tobacco dominate. It is an interesting wine with a fascinating story.

Found on the Maialino wine list, which is filled with gems from the reference points to the obscure.
