Hell ya ripassos. I don't think I've ever had one. Strange to find out spent grape skins add such dry decadence. Because this wine is dry but rife with blackberries, black cherries and chocolate. Tannins are slight which is funny considering it was soaked on skins. But I guess because they were spent it is a different story. The finish lingers on and on and I am now so curious to try more ripassos. — 9 years ago

Best $95 Cab I've tasted Y-T-D! It is way to young to drink. However already showing integration of fruit, oak, & tannins! On the nose blackberry jam, vanilla, cassis, pure sensory decadence! On the palate blackberry jam & blueberry compote with just a hint of earthiness! Well done Mr. Venge. PS decant this 2-hours + — 9 years ago

Yumm-O! Some times you need a little decadence in your life... just not too much — 8 years ago
This wine is EVERYTHING.... Lush, almost buttery in its decadence of ripe currant and dark cherry. Having one glass was NOT enough! — 9 years ago
Jammy flavor a with a hint of robust oak. Flavors roll off the tongue like dandelions in the wind. A whisper of sunflower and jasmine tease the palate and create a titivating explosion of robust decadence . — 9 years ago
This was absolutely fantastic. Absolutely delicious. Well rounded and complex this is a Pinot Noir that I would love to drink more often but it's not easy to find here in the UK. It's lush and creamy with a decadence about it. Brilliant. — 9 years ago
Great blend. Well balanced. Hints of plum, dark berries and slight oak-not overpowering — 9 years ago

Douro decadence. Dark blacks & reds, cured meats, wet minerals & Portuguese liquid love. Young, but that's why we have more. A great demonstration of why this region is on the rise. — 10 years ago

Love the decadence 9 $26 — 9 years ago
Complete unadulterated decadence. Rich raisin fruit and toffee. This wine needs to be treated like a single lick of an ice cream cone. To fully appreciate, keep on the tip of the tongue. — 9 years ago
Classic Burgundian Pinot Noir showing herself as a fine mix of naked earth and spicy decadence alluringly charming spinning and swaying tipping herself your way filling your senses with every breath as you pace and adjust as her lips meet yours with subtle sensory intention spilling slowly wet spreading her lusty languid liquid clinging clawing as she shares first her red then black and blue berries laying herself open slowly drifting holding then holding tighter yet finishing long while memorably whispering a sweet voice that will not be forgotten any time soon... Check it out✌🏻️💙🍷&👣 — 9 years ago
2012 - structured decadence #coupedefoudre — 10 years ago
Not a perfect label re-creation but a near perfect wine. Impeccable balance, opulence, decadence, ridiculous tasty-ness, game meats gone wild and a vial of black tar heroin mixed with a bacon fat berry sandwich and a quick dash of white pepper.....minus the black tar heroin. — 10 years ago
