It tastes like a Barbera, only more sausage-y. It's so smokey, you'd expect The Miracles to pop up in your mouth. — 8 years ago
1998 Roagna Crichet Pajé Barbaresco. Leathery, a bit of rustic olive-laden barnyard brett, but not enough to drag the dinner into the barn; you are...drier than you are sweet, you have a garden with roses in your backyard, you are fresh and alive in your tart cherry vibrancy; you are not greying in the least. You seem a bit volatile at your deepest core; but you leverage that and still manage to be bright and aromatic with acid-laden, cranberry and bruised apple aromas on the finish alongside the roses, leather and tiny allusions to milk chocolate -- and even tinier allusions to eucalyptus. In spite of your bruises, you feel young all the same, with at least half of your life before you, or at the very least you still have many years before you are constrained to a walker or God forbid a wheelchair. Your drying tannins and lively acid are proof of your rustic vitality. And the fact that I purchased you from an unknowing merchant, whose former buyer left 7 yrs ago, for only $81.12, who warned me it "those wines stored up there were tasted recently, and most were bad...I gotta warn you this is probably not good", kind of bolsters my belief in Easter miracles. I gave you a 5% chance of showing well, and you rose on the third day (after buying what should have been your dead corpse). — 10 years ago
Excellent example of European amber wine. Deep amber color from the Rebula grape variety, skin contact and oak work miracles for the taste and body. Aromas of honey, yellow apple, tobacco, persimmon, daffodils, cinnamon. Longish aftertaste with apples, tobacco and persimmon. Starts to lose its acidity, but still vibrant. Well-balanced wine with pleasant oily body. — 7 years ago
Brought this back from our trip to Italy for Robert Ducks Diaconate ordination and “Miracles of the Eucharist Pilgrimage! — 8 years ago
So impressive for what was considered to be a poor vintage. The winemaker has produced miracles. No visual signs of aging. Nose consists of ripe blackberries and raspberries. Palette is dominated with spice box and sweet red fruits. Acidity is pulsating and preserving the structure very well. Finishes with a long tail, and a deft amount of sweetness.
Bucket list - TICK. — 9 years ago
Miracles happen, like this utterly pleasant 4€ Pinot Grigio from Lidl! — 9 years ago
Surprising lively if a bit tight. More than I expected from the 2004 vintage. But marechal always seem to pull off these kinds of small miracles. — 10 years ago
Very nice structure acid that’s super subtle, sweet tarragon structured smell, super fresh pond in a moving water way smell too, easy with sort of a small cheeriness and tarragon at bottom, a sweet soft backend that sits and could work miracles with food that also sits — 7 years ago
Stunning. One more year did miracles. First whiff was of a sewer, but after few hours, the wine really shined. — 8 years ago
A light ale without a mouthful of hops! Miracles can happen. Thanks Mexico. — 8 years ago
In the immortal words of Hot Chocolate, "I believe in miracles, since you came along, you sexy thing." Pahlmeyer's 2012 Proprietary Blend is all that and more, delivering dense, hovering aromatics of smokey blueberry, sweet tobacco, sooty ash and vanilla bean. It's equally hedonistic in the mouth, a Bordeaux-style blend that is both glossy and luminous. Dense cream and blackberry notes build in intensity until at last, it reaches a finish that picks up trace elements of minerality and dried herbs. Sample — 9 years ago
Love it. Super smooth. For someone who likes a completely aerated wine, this little Spanish number works miracles in half the time — 10 years ago
