Cor escura e vibrante, corpo denso com lágrimas lentas. O aroma é intenso e frutado, possui um amadeirado e um frescor, sem que o álcool se destaque, criando uma harmonia de aromas. Na boca é intenso e com bastante complexidade, com taninos bem macios e quase imperceptível, chega a dar a sensação de adocicado em um segundo momento, acompanhado de uma leve acidez, o que proporciona um bom rastro. — 3 days ago

Medium dar rubi robe. Anise, spices and red fruits on the nose. Medium bodied and medium to long length mouth, very elegant and fresh but with rich, elegant and tight tannins. A really excellent Beaumonts that deserves 5 to 6 years to show all its cards. — 3 years ago

Rhys stopped the Skyline Sirah in 2013 so there aren’t many bottles of this wine around. This one has dar rubi robe, a reticent and elegant nose of black fruit and flowers, and a beautiful mouth with cherries, blueberries and crushed flowers. Medium bodied, well crafted, great drinking now but a few years more in the cellar so no rush. Highly recommended ! — 2 years ago

This is a little past our 4 year anniversary of our visit there. Now, even if you are a professional, to visit, you need to make a $200 per person donation to their charity to visit.

Tonight, our pizza wine. One might want a more special occasion! For us, it’s an Italian Anniversary and close to the end of our outdoor season. So, it is a celebration! This is the last weekend of 80 plus degree daytime weather. We have 3-4 weeks before it starts raining.

The nose reveals, candied, ruby, stewed fruits of; blackberries, dark, sweet & sour, dark cherries, slightly roasted strawberries, dark currants & dark raisins. Limestone minerals, dark, rich, turned, black earth, dry crushed rocks, soft, sweet tarriness, some black licorice, leather, soft woodiness, chewy, salted, caramel, mocha, vanilla, dry brush with candied, floral, red, purple and blue florals.

The body is; full, ruby, ripe & juicy. The tension & structure are firm the length & balance are nearing its peak. Candied, ruby, stewed fruits of; blackberries, dark, sweet & sour, dark cherries, slightly roasted strawberries, dar currants, dates & dark raisins. Sucking on limestone minerals, sandstone, anise, dark, rich, turned, black earth, dry crushed rocks, soft, sweet dark, tarriness, some black licorice, leather, soft woodiness, chewy, salted, caramel, mocha, vanilla, dry brush with candied, floral, red, purple and blue florals. The acidity is round and near perfect. The long, ruby, slightly, tarry, ruby, rich, well balanced finish persists endlessly.

The 01 still has another 15-20 years plus of good drinking ahead.

Abiatu 2017 de Imanol Garay @imanolgaray. 95% #tannat y 5% #cabernetfranc. 18 meses de crianza en barricas de 228 l y ánforas de arenisca. Madiran. Francia. 14% vol.
Impresionante vista picota de capa media-alta con ribete carmesí. Lágrima fina y densa que tinta la copa.
Aromas que necesitan de aireación para desplegar un abanico cuyo protagonista es el aporte mineral de pedernal que se ve acompañado por sensaciones de fruta roja y negra (arándanos), recuerdos de hoja de tabaco y toques balsámicos.
Ataque inicial picante con un carbónico sutil. Muy buena acidez. Tanino rugoso y sensaciones sedosas. Fresco, complejo y de buen recorrido. Adictivo.
Vino personal de Imanol Garay al que hay que acercarse con la mente abierta y huyendo de estereotipos.
A mi, personalmente, me ha encantado, aunque le queda recorrido y, quizás, dar aún lo mejor de sí con más tiempo.

Vino que a mi consideración pagas poco por un gran vino, si estás empezando en el mundo de el vino, este es una de las mejores opciones para dar un siguiente paso. Excelente para comida mexicana como tacos, enchiladas, enmoladas, flautas de pollo o res....casi toda la mexicana — 3 years ago

A very polished and elegant Barolo on a great vintage. Crushed rocks, lavender, flowers and dar fruits on a medium length wine that is a fine act. Lacks the density of the best in this vintage but has what it takes to provide pleasure now or in a few years. — 5 years ago
