Chameleon

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

Used to drink this wine often several years ago though haven't seen in quite some time. Always liked it.

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

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

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

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
