Copious Winery
Barossa Old Vine Wine Company
Barossa Shiraz 2001
From magnum. Made in the old Aussie style where copious amounts of red and dark brooding fruits intermingled with charred barrel notes. Despite being broad shouldered, this also showed freshness and - dare I say it - elegance. — 10 years ago
Château La Vieille Cure
Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2011
Viscous black fruit, copious tannins, touch of earth. Very nice, but many years to go! — 11 years ago
DuMOL
Russian River Valley Syrah 2008
Inky color with white pepper nose. Black fruits and licorice on the palate. Tannins are firm but not out of balance. Throwing copious amounts of sediment. Definitely not a lightweight. — 11 years ago
Dr. Heger
Ihringer Winklerberg Großes Gewächs *** Spätburgunder 2013
Day two looks better and shows more weight. Copious white flowers and almondy. Palate is white underripe peaches with crunch rocks. Would be great with some S&P Squid — 11 years ago
The Ojai Vineyard
Thompson Vineyard Syrah 1999
Amazingly, this treasure, my last bottle of the saturated purple '99 Ojai Syrah 'Thompson Vineyard', was much fresher and significantly fruitier than the previous bottle consumed about a year ago. This one I drank immediately after decanting (with copious sediment). Super dense aromatics and smoky flavors of dark fruit, damp earth, cracked pepper, leather and licorice abounded. The silky finish was long, powerful and eminently satisfying. — 10 years ago
Pierre Sparr
One Alsace Pinot Gris Blend 2012
Honey, minerals and copious amount of fruit — 11 years ago
Senorio del Aguila
Reserva Cariñena Tempranillo Blend 2002
On the nose, copious prune and raisin, underscored by a pleasant nuttiness, culminating in a distinct sherry aroma. On the tongue, juicy and full. The prune follows through, along with a nice black cherry, all of which is mellowed out by stout, toasty oak. The finish is med-long, warm, and very smooth. Fantastic for $10.00. — 12 years ago
Brian Tuite
Been open 3+hrs, still hard as nails. Showing copious amounts of dark blue fruit then the tannic wall. Will revisit tomorrow. Suggest morning decant or 4-5 years sideways. Rating on perception of where it's headed. — 10 years ago
