Chameleon Stellenbosch Rosé Merlot Syrah 2015

This is a review for the Jordan Stellenbosch Chameleon Dry Rosé. Fruity but dry rose with aromas of summer berries - like running through a field in the sunshine! — 10 years ago

Domaine Henri Boillot

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2005

2005 vintage. Quite delicate, hazelnut, toasted almond, sweet spice and toasty. On the palate, medium minus body - a little too light for me - decent acidity, and medium plus finish. Better on the nose than palette where the wines lacks substance and concentration. NB: with 1.5 hrs in the glass, the wine has really blossomed and become interesting. Less wood, caramelised pineapple and now a medium body, full concentration wine. Sweet caramel developing on the nose. A chameleon. — 10 years ago

Sans Liege

Groundwork Counoise 2012

9.3

Seriously everyone please look into this label by sans liege. This counoise is just insanity from arroyo grande. A vivacious feel of a light Grenache with a Pinot noir fruit profile. Could literally fool many. A chameleon wine. Need to get many more next time this ever comes around. — 11 years ago

Aster

Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2008

This one is a bit of a chameleon. Keeps changing the longer it sits. Wonderful after some breathing time. Cherry, anise, little bit of earth. Deep, round, velvety. — 11 years ago

Touraine Rouge 2010

Really enjoyable chameleon of a wine with dark color from the Malbec, structure from the Cab Franc, and a distinct flavor from the Pineau d'Aunis — 13 years ago

Franco Fiorina

Barolo Nebbiolo 1961

Incredíble youthness for a 54 year wine. Evolved and changed like a chameleon for over 3 hours, from delicate decayed roses to intense red fruit aromas. How can it be??? — 10 years ago

Terzolo

Teran 2009

Beautiful new wine for me. Described as "an earthy Merlot," this wine was like a chameleon that went with beets and straciatella, beef tortellini, mint and roasted tomato pasta, and 90-day dry aged rib eye. Absolutely brilliant with our meal. — 11 years ago

Il Paradiso di Frassina

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

Chameleon wine. Started out with bright black cherry, grape bubble gum, black pepper juniper. Opened up to eucalyptus, thyme, cedar and vanilla bean notes. Tannins mellowed throughout. Silky mouthfeel throughout. — 11 years ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2010

It's the ultimate food wine. Goes with everything. But at the same time, it is too much the chameleon. If it was to be drunk by itself, there isn't a dominant note to define the wine. — 12 years ago

Le Bel Ouvrage Savennières Chenin Blanc 2007

Its been decided. Savennieres is a chameleon. — 10 years ago

Domäne Wachau

Achleiten Smaragd Riesling 1997

Changes quite a bit. Incredible chameleon - Orange soda, tangerines, grilled cheese, peach pie. Switches between smoked minerals, pollen, a medicinal herb tone, all along shooting acid. This thing is all over the place! — 10 years ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2009

2009 vintage. Pale lemon hue. Mineral and saline nose. Green apple skin. More closed than expected. On the palate, medium body and medium concentration. The wine isn't showing. The minerality is there, but the complexity is hiding. The length is good, but I was expecting more. NB: after 1.5hrs the wine has finally opened and broadened out, gaining weight and substance. The aroma profile has also changed- green apricot and white peach. After 2hrs, even the colour seems to have changed, taking on a pale golden hue! The green stone fruit is now a little riper, and the finish is longer and richer. This is the Chameleon wine! Note to self: aerate for minimum 2 hours before serving. — 10 years ago

It was an easy, but not overly simple, sipper. Lovely.

Giuseppe Quintarelli

Rosso del Bepi Veneto Corvina Blend 2002

Utterly blown over by this stunning wine. A real chameleon in the glass evolving continually over the course of a few hours. Ripe cherries chocolate and cinnamon leather tobacco but fresh. Lovely silky soft integrated tannins. Lacked a bit of the concentration you'd expect from Amarone. I guess that's why he released it as a table wine. I can't wait to try the Amarone someday — 12 years ago

Arrels

Clos Oblidat Sangre de Garnatxa 2005

Cinnamon, tannin, spicy and beautifully mercurial. Who knew it could go with everything? A beautiful Chameleon — 12 years ago
