Still a few years young but nothing a couple hours of decanting won’t cure. Structured, fruity, earthy and balanced, great companion for your ribeye. — 7 years ago
Reminds me of a Fronsac in many ways...barnyard funk like a Vieille Cure. A real surprise here. — 8 years ago
Color of light and semi translucent burgundy with brown and light purple hue on the rim. Slow flowing dense legs. Plummy fragrance and cherry sweetness upon opening. After breathing, nose of this wine turns unique with cure meats, anise, roasted black pepper, plums, and baking soda. Taste of cure meat like prosciutto, balsamic vinegar, quite dried in the first sip, round but firm tannins, a touch of spice, with some fruity and sweet notes hidden on the 2nd wave. Aftertaste of roses, balsamic acidity, black tea, a bit spice, subtle alcohol, and medium finishing. This wine is one of the best in terms of providing meat flavors. It is light in this hot day, but fully structured. What a piece of work. — 9 years ago

This is 100% Syrah. Tasted blind with 3 other similar Paso wines came in second. Huge unfiltered wine, grapes sourced from L'Aventure. Tons of blue fruit, big lingering finish, rich powerful nose. All of his wines are wonderful. Find them — 8 years ago
Fernet Branca is San Francisco's magical elixir of lore. Equal parts hangover prevention and morning after cure; it is an acquired taste but one that every San Franciscan must embrace. The traditional way to consume fernet is neat with a back of ginger beer. Sip fernet, sip ginger, repeat... Ask for a fernet and ginger as you wrap up dinner at any restaurant in SF and you will receive a knowing nod from your server followed quickly by your glass of fernet branca. — 9 years ago
Fresh, bright fruit. Cranberries. And a bit of that brininess I'm just crazy about. You know what they say - "Salt water is the cure for everything; sweat, tears, or the sea." — 9 years ago

Does age cure the wood pathology? Or was Sandrone so much better in 1990? — 8 years ago
Mesmerizing nose, crazy complexity, salty caramel, gunpowder, grilled peach, sweet tobacco, matchstick, marzipan and - as my daughter added pretty aptly - a whiff of 'honingdrop' (traditional Dutch honey/licorice-flavoured candy).
On the palate, these nuances are slightly less articulate and clear, which keeps me from throwing in an 'extraordinary' score. Highly recommanded, though! — 9 years ago

Take me for a walk. I have to drink another bottle of this listening to The Cure, playing The Forest. That's it, period. — 10 years ago

No makeup pretty wine. The beverage is purple as it’s label and also tastes purple-y if I may say so. There was surely some oak at play, something cocoa-y and a touch blackberry jammy. It’s a wine I’d take to a Cure concert. I don’t mean to drink. Just personality wise I feel like it would listen to the Cure. If only wine could dance. — 6 years ago
