A glass ordered off the wine list. Amber brownish gold. Heavy but translucent. Powerful nose. Notes of brown sugar, molasses, warm orange sauce and some burnt butter. Powerful acidity. Very rich. Fun to try and enjoy. — 7 years ago

Cherry notes with hints of cocoa and molasses. Soft tannins with great balance. Does not taste Australian (and that's a compliment) at all! Thanks to my Buddy John Pecallier for this one. One of the two best Wines of a 7 Syrah Fourth of July tasting! — 8 years ago

Pretty unusual find in a tiny liquor store in Avon CT. Cork had seepage signs all the way up the side but man oh man was this wine in great shape. Soft and friendly nose of sweet and savory spices. Old world palate with understated black fruit, leather, and molasses. The usual "Cab Francy" finish that comes from Viader. Nice to take a risk and have it pay off! Picking up my spring allocation this weekend. — 9 years ago

Annual guys WTF Christmas party with spouses. Lots of great wine. I’ll post my highlights with pics I got.

A rich and decadent night cap to a wonderful evening. Raisins, dark chocolate dipped blueberries and blackberries, fig, and cassis coat the glass. Molasses like texture on the palate with licorice, oven baked blackberry pie, baking spices and a touch of heat toward the finish. — 6 years ago

Deep purple hue with some garnet. Extraction on the glass and medium-plus tearing. Nose offers black fruit, such as fresh blackberries, black cherry, and currant notes; also molasses, clove, spice, cured meat, and vegetal notes. Tartness and acidity on the palate, lending balance. Also strong tannins with anise and dusty leather notes on the palate. Vintage 2014. 15% ABV. #aalto #riberadelduero #riberadelduerowine #tintofino #spanishwine #oldworld #oakagedwine #meseta #winewednesday #winedownwednesdays — 6 years ago

Yes! This is drinking beautifully. It kept making eyes at me through the wine fridge so I yanked it out of its 55°F habitat, popped the cork, and poured a healthy dose in my glass and rest into a decanter. Constantly evolving over the course of an hour+ but classic through-and-through. Well preserved even though it’s changed hands a lot. A cool, highly fragrant nose with underlying eucalyptus, clove, tobacco, cedar shavings, and plums. On the palate nuances of sweet figs, molasses, plum, blackberries, blueberries, and Christmas spices. Tannins are pretty well resolved. This is in a great place with lovely purity of fruit. Remarkable difference between this and the ‘12. — 6 years ago

Beautiful beautiful stuff. This has a haunting nose of roasted berries, cedar smoke, potpourri, molasses, and sour cherry. The palate is seamless with perfect balance.. medium bodied but with a vigor and vitality unlike most other communes in the Côte d'Or. More cherries, herbs, and a distinct spiciness that I love. After it opens up, you get loads of cinnamon and clove on the nose. This really embodies the whole "dirty berries" thing that the Côte d'Or goes for.

If you haven't approached Vosne-Romanee lately, it's worth looking for extra coins in the seat cushions and saving up your shekels. — 9 years ago

Not an enormous fan of Tawnies but an excellent port blend. Long finish with undertones of walnut and molasses. Hard to dislike by anyone's taste. — 9 years ago
