Mars Lais

Domaine les Pallières

Les Racines Gigondas Red Rhone Blend

8 years on This ganache, Syrah, cinsault and clairette blend has arrived. This is a big ripe wine but not over the top. A bit of acidity to encourage more sips. Just a bit of a sharp note on the finish mars the impact. Don’t usually fall for these wines anymore but this is ready for red meat dining — 7 years ago

La Pause Gamay

This wine was delicious--light, acidic, a little gravelly and meaty. Bought at La Buvette, paired perfectly with singing La Marseillaise on the Champs de Mars on Bastille Day. — 8 years ago

Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1952

In 1952, Petrus, a will-become-too-expensive wine producer, was crafting this pleasurable Pomerol (fortified with iron?). Mars red and with a distinctly ferrous taste, I presume that this aged Bordeaux will do wonders for my hemoglobin levels. — 8 years ago

Keplinger

Mars Moon Mountain Red Blend 2013

I tried this right out of the bottle and was a little worried - super tight and one dimensional - but after two hours open it was singing and I was smiling. The nose has a more savory profile but the palate is full of bright red fruits with crushed gravel on the finish. Super smooth - the fruit and spice from the Grenache keeps the gaminess/savory flavors of the Syrah in check while the Mourvèdre adds richness. Helen Keplinger is a genius when it comes to these new world “old world blends” - I have yet to have one from her that hasn’t been fantastic. — 7 years ago

Either that's a massive 750, or a 1500 or you asked the POTUS to hold the bottle while you took your pic.
Nice notes, thanks.

nice dark fruit smell with nice finale. Could benefit from another couple of years in the bottle. — 8 years ago

Mars Distillery

Single Cask Komagatake Japanese Whisky 1988

Oloroso sherry in color. In your face sherry aromas of hazelnut, black currant, dried red fruits, almond, honey, vanilla, smoke, and subtle floral notes. Gorgeous mouthfeel, very, very subtle peat notes in the back palate. Finish is a warm blanket right out of the dryer! Amazing! — 9 years ago

Halcon Vineyards

Prado Alder Springs Vineyard Roussane Marsanne 2013

I bottled this a few months ago. Still young but very drinkable. Just being cheated of some complexity. And a mildly "rough" edge to it. .....lots of gold fruit. 50/50 Mars/Rous. — 9 years ago

Russiz Superiore Collio Cabernet Franc 2013

Things which are painfully underrated. One of New Zealand’s best bands, The Brunettes with their best record, Mars Loves Venus and a 2013 Collio Cab Franc. So many rocks to turn over in this world for great stuff. — 7 years ago

I was starting to worry you ran out of records!

Vieux Château Champs de Mars

Johanna Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Slightly dry, high tannins, full bodied with an earthy nose. Mid pallet is the weakest part.

After decanting an hour, the mid pallet improves and the tannins come back into balance.
