Chocolate, dark berries, spice and oak with soft tannins that grow in the mouth. Very good and fantastic aroma. — 9 years ago
An all time fav. Vines grow up to the cliff overlooking the ocean. Can taste the shist and salt. Delicate ethereal wine. Maybe a muscadet? — 10 years ago
Green and stemmy with exotic oak spices. Cardamom and garam masala. Damp wet barrel. Good balance! Complex and well integrated. A complete surprise that this wine is 8 years old. Lots of room to grow and open. #syrah #tinyhousetastinggroup — 10 years ago
Young and unlegally sexy cause of it , not sure of it real grow. Body — 12 years ago
Classic Aglianico notes... tar, tobacco, spices, cedar, dark fruit on palate. Great nose, medium bodied, good acidity, nice finish. Needs a few hours to evolve. This wine drinks well now but certainly needs more time to grow - has all the right components to be phenomenal in 10-15 years. — 8 years ago
Starter wine - tonight will be a tune up for tomorrow and my little friends and family holiday event for neighborhood - good old faithful Napa cab tonight - easy going but young - I mean crying young - but it will the grow up one day - maybe not to the black labels but rest baby and sorry I am drinking one of your young bottle buddies - I will tell you this 14s and 13s Napa cabs are going to better than 10s and 12s after a little sleep - so starter wine tonight is having a smiling effect on me - it is that Friday night in December in the Carolinas effect I bet but who cares - drink up people — 8 years ago
Balance from nose to finish for a young Barolo, wow. An elegant Barolo, and by elegant I'm talking graceful fruit nicely balanced by brooding characters of the fine. Black Cherry, fresh cut spring flowers, aged leather, black tea, and tobacco. More medium than heavy but notable in depth that I expect to grow exponentially with 5-15 more years. Massive QPR for the great 2010 vintage. — 9 years ago
Feels like these vines grow next to the see! Wow! — 9 years ago
First time having a big name Bordeaux from the 80's. A powerhouse of black fruits with so much earth that you could plant seeds in the glass and they'd probably grow. Cedar, pipe tobacco, a touch of eucalyptus and a bit of pepper. Aging well, very well balanced, and it could be its own course at dinner. — 9 years ago
Beautiful and intriguing wine from off the coast of France, below Muscadet, where the vines grow mere inches off the ground from the brutal winds, and the soil is all schist rock. Dark cherries, tons of mineral notes, and also some wild game. Extremely taut acidity. — 10 years ago
Texas is a great place to grow Tempranillo. — 11 years ago
Beautiful nose. Exceptional Pinot perhaps the best in Tasmania. But it would vie for "best of " honors most placed that grow wine — 11 years ago
Gorgeous, strong acid core. Provide structure for everything else to grow on. Bright fruit, but nicely tannic. — 8 years ago
Deep garnet red. South African funk, like damp leaves, wet clay, sundried tomatoes and red cherries in the finish. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) probably will grow once it airs out. Balanced acidity and semi dry. Broken twigs with red currants and cherries. Needs some time to open up and develop. Medium bodied with a medium plus finish but potential is there. Drink till 2021. — 8 years ago
This is a knife hit of an underripe apricot, smelling almost of good? mildew and plum fingernails in starfruit, white plum, and lemon-pig laundry sheets. Pretty sure I sold this in the late nineties, bulk. Lemony-apricot dries up your palate into pure Cotts canyon, borderline sweet onion in lemongrass oil with light basil. Grow some neck muscles, train with PEDs and dive into this empty pool. Yer da man! — 9 years ago
Went very well with some smoked cheese and prosciutto. The cherry flavor was prevalent with the silky tannins went perfect with this snack. When I cleansed my palate with some chocolate I tasted a little plum sweetness on the back end. Great win with room to grow.. — 9 years ago
From Lazio, carbonic #aleatico (a grape I've never heard of but Wikipedia tells me we grow some in Mudgee! Perhaps at di Lusso?), the wine is extremely inviting, one of those wines you can enjoy 100% by the aroma alone, flowers and herbs, wonderful! It is bursting with life, plums, olives, very pretty and utterly smashable. — 9 years ago
Can't wait for it to grow up. — 10 years ago
Very good with room to grow still, raspberries and dark chocolate, holds up with the best of France, a real one percent...the brother man from the mother land, if you will...this is the Shaft of California cabs — 10 years ago
Crisp with a finish that cuts out suddenly. A wine that forces you to grow up. — 11 years ago

Lovely fruit taste. Quite refreshing after a tough day of watching the grass grow (from the hammock). — 8 years ago
