It's rose. Good, not worth paying too much, but the girls like the celebrity connection of Miraval. — 9 years ago

So wonderfully constructed with present yet silky tannins and super fresh acidity, creating a mental connection to both Barolo and Burgundy. Thanks to its pretty fruit, it's drinking dangerously well already, but there's still no sign of tertiary aromas, so better wait. — 9 years ago

It's Holiday Season here in Morehead City, NC , and I'm at one of my favorite hangs (Promise' Land Market where the vibe is tres local, coastal, grooviness + Christmas) digging some amazing cheeses, olives, almonds and wine.
Firstly, I posted this wine previously, so this is a double tap with some space in between. Remembering my last experience, I decided to aerate pour into a decanter and on-and-off turbo-twirl for a half hour before jumping jumping in for the swim. That was proper, for sure, as doing so moves this wine up a bit, in my mind, mellowing this front-end tannin bomb , eliminating the raspberry and showing its better blue side, plus adding a little finish. My guess is that the cab franc vintage was less than ideal blurring the merlot and unfortunately squelching what could have maybe been St Emi GC elegance. The rest is my previous post: This GC is maybe a little past it's better time (odd). That written, its Merlot centric main grape charged by a cab franc splash and tempered by what seems to me to be plenty of time luxuriating in classic French oak expressing blueberry & vanilla on the nose contrasted by rabbit tobacco (earth connection complimenting country elegance) seems classic St Emi GC.
After that initial nose-hit of earth, spice, blue fruit and vanilla, it starts to slip, as the tannins grab somewhat roughly (perhaps a death grip) in one's front mouth cutting things short and masking the expectation of a rather brilliant nose turning what starts as blueberry and spice to a tannic squeezing raspberry mouth with zero finish - a shame.

Another nice wine -- and actually affordable in Singapore -- from a goo Wine Connection on line service started in Bangkok by a Frenchman and now spread throughout Southeast Asia. Living the dream, Tony Kirkham! — 10 years ago

Purchased at a restaurant and this was the only local bubbly so I wanted to support! This was a beautiful sparkler with fine bubbles, green apple and yeasty notes. Paired perfect with brunch. Will definitely be seeking this out at the winery. $45. — 9 years ago

Vermentino's always on my mind. From the jagged border between Tuscany and Liguria #IvanTerenzuolaGiuliani makes this glowing wines as a full-strenght demonstration of his own vitality, caution, obstinacy, imagination, respect for environment, connection with land-people-tradition... I'm so proud and glad to be a friend of Ivan 😀 http://www.terenzuola.it/ — 10 years ago
