Smelling this i'm reminded of the sweet wines in Piemont. Elderflower is the dominant note on the nose and I expected this to be quite light...it isn't! Sweet and sticky with lots of citrus peel and later a bit of raisin and spice. Was impressive and original. Paired with pear frangipan — 2 months ago

#4. Amarone perfection. Raisin and fig notes, acid, on the hotter side. Wish I’d put together a cheese board for this. Seemed like unanimous favorite. — 3 years ago

Dark, raisin color. Nose of hot dogs (smoky?) and cognac. Cherry and spice. Very drinkable.

Poured through an aerator and sat for 15 minutes…

NOSE: strong, clear cassis. Meat. Pine, forest. Very mild chocolate and a little ash - and some raisin - but the cassis dominates.

Taste: medium weight, elegant, fruity bordeaux, with enough tannin to balance it perfectly - as on the nose, cassis and dark berry flavors dominate, but with a good herbal backbone. Simpler than I’d hoped, but just so very well made it doesn’t matter. Would love to taste this in a few years. 92. — 2 years ago

Glou glou but also polished. Not rough around the edges. Just a nice, fruit forward, easy drinking quaff. — 3 years ago

A delicious blend of mostly Malbec, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon. The Malbec initially takes center stage with classic aromas of black cherry, raisin, & sweet tobacco. Full bodied on the pallate but the Merlot definitely mellows the wine as it has medium well integrated tannins along with flavors of blackberry, baking spices & vanilla. aired nicely with NY strip streaks & grilled asparagus!

A bit of a far our natural wine but a lively and fun example- an orange pet Nat with lots of nervy cidery notes as well as a little cider vinegar. Orange peels and high tone citrus perfume. Slightly petillant, great texture and body, lemons on the palate, super long leesy finish. There’s a nice poised hint of bitterness in finish. Delightful. — 4 years ago

Best wine I’ve had in a while. Liquid raisin! Smells like oak, campfire, and raisin. Tannic and astringent but full bodied with some sweetness-almost port-like. Definitely not cheap but also not the most expensive wine on the shelf. 100% worth it. Enjoyed with bolognese. Would love to have again — 2 years ago

2003 vintage. Rich, silky, still quite youthful. Rum raisin, stewed cherry, raspberry coulis, dark cocoa, chocolate-covered espresso bean, something a little medicinal, harsher manifestation of cinnamon, bark. — 2 years ago

Opened for a fancy celebratory dinner to accompany filet mignon & risotto. Held up to the robust food. Quite complex, lots of raisin and dark fruit. Worth the money if you’re looking to treat yo self. — 4 years ago
