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

Like no Chenin Blanc I have ever tasted this is searing in its mineral intensity. Definitely not for the faint of heart. It think Pineau de Loire is an apt name cause I picked up a pine pitch flavor. Would be amazing with anything in a shell. But maybe also as a foil to rich pork or something really creamy. Check it out folks. — 10 years ago

2006. Pitch black, purple on the rim. Predominantly cassis on the nose. Very tannic and grave on the palate. Opened up with air after two or three hours. Not an easy one, but very enjoyable if given the space. — 10 years ago

Pitch dark garnet with beautiful dark crimson rim. Abundant berry aromas, raspberry, blueberry pie, and secondary sweaty horse. Delightful, fulfilling and elegant on the plate, showing unmistakeable black currant flavors, blackberry, wild mushroom, hints of spearmint, also rosemary and thyme. Fine acidity that lingers passed this wine's long, dark fruit finish. Delicious green and black peppercorn sensation on the finish. Fine tobacco on the retronasal. Negre, negre. Quite dry and very fruity. Solid 89 pts. — 11 years ago

Tasted in a wine tasting, therefore, tasting note can't be too adequate and precise. This Vega-Sicilia winery in Toro should be cellared for another 3-6 years at least. Not open on the nose with not much black fruit. French oak used? toasty and very smoky with the feeling of charred wood, coffee, dark chocolate and pitch. Incredible tannin that coats the whole mouth, full-bodied and great structure. Medium+length and may be longer. 88-89points. Good value at 50-60 $. This wine is still too young to be tasted. Should be enjoyed from 2015-2022. — 12 years ago

After opening, it reminds me of a northern Rhone syrah: translucent ruby red, not a Bordeaux nose, lighter, higher acidity and all. Now after 2 hours, it's become darker to the eye, nose, and palate. Opaque, almost pitch black. Milk chocolate and smoke on the nose. Some sweetness and less acidity on the palate. Some grippy tannin left. Plummy finnish. A good deal for €18 in 2015. 50+3+12+17+8=90 — 10 years ago

Pitch perfect Merlot. Dense and lush, with full body yet polished round tannins. Plenty of earth, spice, and savory elements without being vegetal. — 10 years ago

Oh wow. Comes off like a comic book version of a napa cab. Just dump trucks of pitch black fruit. Finish is lighter and tannins are less grippy than its cabby cousins but this is so bloody delicious I can't stand it. — 12 years ago

Ripe fruit but not jammy. Perfect pitch of acid, fruit sweetness and seamless follow through. A lovely, delicious medium weight Shiraz. — 10 years ago

This is as great as it's ever been. One of the all-time great values when some store blew it out for seven bucks. Classic Campania. Tar, volcanic rock, gamy meat, pitch-black fruit. Tannins are maybe getting edgier than they were before but the fruit is still rich and ripe. And every time I see the label I sing the name to the tune of the Krusty the Klown "Canyonero" jingle. — 10 years ago

Very tasty now, but for me, needs more time. Would love to revisit in 5 years. I'm loving the gnarliness factor, and fruity red fruit notes. Super concentrated. Wow! Rich deep blood red berries with a solid core of pitch black gnarliness, and screaming finish. Will try to review tomorrow, on the 2nd day. — 10 years ago
