Wapping amounts of bitter dark chocolate. Clearly in transition and needs a good decant. Very good tannin structure. — 9 years ago
Showing in good form, this Côte Rôtie is a vibrant and fresh wine that intertwines fruits like kirsch, cherry and blackberry with an iron-tinged, sanguine salinity. The acidity is spot on and keeps things in good balance. On the nose there are notes of garrigue, menthol, blackberry and licorice. Definitely rich, well concentrated full body, but not overpowering. Another '11 winner from Rhone. — 10 years ago
Gentle tannins, integrating the sanguine, can, and syrah beautifully. Rich black fruit and a hint of cherry, ending with a smooth spicy finish. — 10 years ago
Very subtle truffle and sanguine notes, with some youthful grip still. Wish it were more forthcoming — 11 years ago
Sanguine do Giuda. Sweet blood of judas. Only available at the Wine Room in Winter Park, Orlando — 11 years ago
bloody, deep dark yet somehow light on its feet. Heavy upfront sanguine notes from incredibly iron rich soils. Black licorice, dark plum, deep dark cherry, a bit of blue fruit, hint of sage, eucalyptus. Soften the palate yet with good tannic pull and that vibrating Etna acidity. A baby. — 8 years ago
This 25 yr old #chinon cab franc is still absolutely beautiful. Sanguine color, poured out of #coravin so still had a little funk on the nose that quickly reveals wet earth and mushroom tones, plenty of delicate fruit left. I'd say it's hit its peak, but I'm going to keep a little around to try down the road. — 10 years ago
Elements of this wine make it a total mystery. Tart black cherry and carbonic yea, but something deep, sanguine and intensely granitic is just as primary. Hats off to Antoine Luyt. — 10 years ago
Prunes, dark, rich and concentrated with only a touch of bramble. 10 tears too young. — 10 years ago
Plum flesh and a sanguine note. Silky and very fluid in the mouth. — 11 years ago
Sanguine. Quite tannic, though seriously ripe Sangiovese. Good with sausages, best with Bistecca a la Fiointina. — 10 years ago

A gorgeous color and texture in the glass, brick color with pink edges, sanguine in its viscosity. Started out with raisin and prune notes, but after decanting it opened up with layers of dried herbs and forest floor with undertones of leather and vanilla. — 11 years ago
Still powerful and sanguine after all of these years! It was great to pour an old, good Zin for the Coutelas' and show them a Cali original. — 12 years ago
