Åh, en sober och diskret fransos va. Lite vitrinskåp, plommon, russin, vaniljstång, lite jenka. Fransk i flabben. Hugg den. Finns på hansa. — 8 years ago


Don't make this your tenth drink of the night, it's not fair to anyone. SOBER EDIT: tried this again after a beast of an Amarone and prefer this. Something about that old world, rustic, dry lingering flavoring suggests authenticity in the face of all these showy fruit and sugar forward overpriced glamour bombs. We have a great wine here. Perhaps still not as impressive as it could be, but a great wine nonetheless. — 9 years ago

Actual can't get over this. Got opened two nights ago at a family bash and two days later it's drinking bloody beautifully — 11 years ago
My in-laws frequent Cabo often and claim that they’ve found some impressive wines from Mexico/Baja region. They enjoy fine wine, so I trusted their opinion and went hunting. This winery is supposedly one of the top wineries in Mexico, and I was able to find the last 3 bottles (at the time) in the US as the winery was sold out. We had dinner with them at my wife and I’s favorite spot in Fort Worth and I surprised them with this wine.
Pours dark and inky. Aromatically, this was a circus bash of red, blue and black fruit. There was also some black peppercorn and cedar. The front and mid-palate were dense...oak wasn’t dominant, just an absolute rush of fresh squeezed fruit. Finish was spice driven. Blind, I would have likely called this a zin/petite sirah blend (but structure kept this from being an overblown, hot, flabby Napa style zin). Very unique and enjoyable. Bravo Mexico/Baja! — 8 years ago

Great nose. Burnt butter and orange taste. Crisp. Delightful. Mouth full of happiness in South Africa. Signed sober father in law. Anthony is toast again. — 9 years ago
Whoa. Wicked find at a good price. Oldest macalese I have had and it didn't disappoint. Had that tangy fruity Italian theme. Wonderful bramble, leathery type palette. Tannins almost non existent. There was one more bottle left at the wine shop. I will need to go back and get it when I sober up. — 9 years ago

Couple of people's last shift at Toasted, so there is a certain festive atmosphere and quite a few bottles have already been drunk, so I was in a positive mood when this came out; but even stone-cold Catholic-mass sober I'd still say you'd enjoy this one; sort of sherbert and gooseberries. Bonza. — 10 years ago
Could just sit and smell this all night, but then I'd be sober. Damn. Special juice. — 8 years ago

At our surprise Birthday Bash that turned into a Pop Up Wedding! Loved this bottle of bubbles — 9 years ago
Take a dill pickle from a good deli and bash it around in a well-made humidor then set that whole affair in front of a bowl of blackberry conserves. Et voila! Initial impressions. With air, this sheds the dill and cedar and replaces it with wintergreen. Overall a beautiful expression of a difficult and contentious variety. Satisfy your curiosity here; you'll enjoy it. — 9 years ago
In a league of its own. It's so singular I'm not really sure what to do with it. I think I need a much more sober and focused state to really get into this chick. Discover this if you can. — 10 years ago

I am so glad I gave this wine a second, more sober, look. I have been harsh on Grenache/Grenache blends, but it just reinforced the fact that one can only judge wines, not varieties. This wine just needed 4 days of air before its real self could appear. It is a profound expression of red fruit with notes of persimmon, bay leaf, orange rind, and more. An aged bottle should be very good. — 11 years ago
