Oblivion
Albino Armani
Terradeiforti Valdadige Foja Tonda Casetta
3009 Foja Tonda is a very rare grape saved from oblivion by Albino Armani 25 years ago. Full body and taste, still in search of elegance, but aging time will help. Red fruits taste and long finish are a good plus. Very good. — 11 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😎 — 10 years ago

The apples for this brew had to have been in pristine and well-defined condition. The skins and flesh of these apples must have been absolutely perfect when they were squished to oblivion. This has the energy of a super-conscious being exuding from it. There is just no other way to circle around the precise quality of this concoction in words at this moment. Rose petals, slightly underripe red apples (not delicious red), and the essence of a very juicy lipped blonde...I would lick this off the counter if it spilled, which is what just happened. I spent 10 minutes to contemplate the juice on the counter along with the shards of my former Riedel glass. I hope this happens again soon. — 10 years ago

God has created sleep's oblivion; man added wine, Devine child of the sun. — 11 years ago

Outstanding. Gossamer pale peach with honeyed highlights, expressing pure alpine air, catmint, dried honeycomb, white peach, cherubs tears, and meadow flowers. On the palate, it’s elegant and beautifully balanced, each note perfection, not unlike Vivaldi’s Le Quattro Stagioni, here is lilting, refined, pitch-perfect acidity set against a backdrop of dewy raspberries that extends to sweet saline-edged oblivion. — 9 years ago
