La Ballerina

E. Guigal

Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2009

Creme cassis, fine aged leather, autumn forest floor, euphoric nose of damp earth, stewed black fruits, smoldering wood campfire, blackberry jam, raspberry, dried cherries, briary finish with black currant and plum finish. Hints of baking spices, minerals, fig. Sexy with fine polished tannins and a long enduring elegant finish that will have you smelling the glass long after it is empty. A graceful ballerina with MMA power kicks. — 10 years ago

Canoe Ridge Vineyard

Reserve Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Like a ballerina, it balances, just when you think it will topple: fruit is upfront, raspberry, jamberry,!fruitberry. The body comes out, catches the wine, and fills it out. A Prima Donna? Perhaps. Buy it. — 11 years ago

Our 2007 Merlot entices with aromas of dark red and black fruit with a dash of sweet spice. I call this a "ballerina" wine. It shows power and delicacy. A very nice balance. — 12 years ago

Hochar Père & Fils Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2009

Love this wine! Fecund, angular, blackberry tones, oaky-corky, hinting toward spice. Yummy! The "man-ballerina" of wine, smooth and svelte — 10 years ago

Tenuta Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

This is the Italian stallion I have been waiting for... This is like a feather weight boxer, appears light but then boom it hits you.. The baroness and I had so much of this juice we even danced together for the first time since our wedding day... It's a bush of berries with a complex flavour plate which frolicked across the taste dance floor like a ballerina... Have it with roast beef... Butchers of the world forget about selling horseradish and beef gravy... Sell this and your beef sales will soar.... Bacchus this is going in the box for when we meet.... You bring the beef — 10 years ago

So this is a blend with a vintage? I will most certainly be trying this one on Friday.....I'll be cooking fillet steak for GG so if the combination here is not a winner I'll be having a quiet word with yourself, the baroness and Bacchus himself.

Dan Fredman

Precision personified, with deft, ballerina-like grace and a sense of purpose and focus not usually encountered outside of a boxing ring or F1 track. Transparent winemaking honors the vineyard site, this is the finest Gruner Veltliner I've enjoyed In years. The right wine at the right time. 101 points. — 12 years ago

Château Cantebau

Labastide Dauzac Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Damp spice intermingled with 25 meter blueberry patch in a meadow-like clearing on an early morning run through a higher elevation forest with a slow flowing river view below and the hint of a hickory heavy fireplace way off in the distance encouraging the first blush front mouth touch of a distant vanilla mellowing the blue and black berry with its cherry finish that you will hope lingers, but, unfortunately, takes an ethereal plunge with only a single hand on rock before free falling the throaty cliff into oblivion. A bit of a frontside tease, but just enough backside attraction to encourage another hit, swig, gurgle and a sideways smile. Get some...
PS if you haven't done djon's, in Melbourne Beach, FL, then do! Piano dude singing some ballad Paul Mc, with ballerina, Beth, behind the bar, and their perfectly prurient snails offering themselves for a sacrificial lead to their Margaux drenched demise😎
