Tango

Joseph Drouhin

Clos des Mouches Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2015

This bottle is money. Silky smooth. Very well balanced wine. Every bottle from this case I bought tastes different. This one tastes like Oregon Pinot and doesn’t have all the weird rubbery aromatics. Goes great with Tango & Cash. 😂 7/24/20 — 5 years ago

Scharzhofberger Kabinett Riesling 2011

Wonderful Muller nose combining freshness and complexity . The fruit salad and citrus aromas grab your head and forces your nose into the glass.
On the palate sweetness and acid do not fight for attention but instead dance the tango on your tongue.

@Web Bond Downloaded my Issue this morning and it was going to be my bedtime reading😀. I’m not surprised he thinks ‘18 shows better than ‘11. The ‘11’s are already sold.
I recently attended a Terry Theise estate tasting and was not blown away by any 2018 I tasted. I think the phrase you utilized is the best way to describe my experience , “good wines but not excellent”

I'm not too fond on the 18's either, but still as you say... Good wines.

Domaine Barville

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2015

A shy fruit nose,, a nod of the high heat.

Two meet, and the dance begins.
One has all the colors, red and black raspberries, pomegranate stem of rose.
The other, dapper with black - anise, mint, earth and stone. A step from one and a step from the other, a flit of the skirt, a tip of the hat, a bow, a kiss, a dip, , a spin, a tango of the fruit and tannins, the herbaceous and acidity. Plucked from the dance floor a touch too early, with many dances left.
Such is the life of wine in my cellar.

Great producer, consistently great wine.

Bodegas Alto Moncayo

Veraton Garnacha

Crushed velvety leaves from alpine flowers. A wondrous bouquet of a nose, and floral in the right way, not your grandmothers bathroom kind of a way.

Seemed fitting to picture this with our urban garlic harvest. As garlic take such a long time to mature, then even after picked, must be stored properly, to get the fullness of flavor.

Sweet blackberry tar is what this well crafted wine shows up front, subtle mint, eucalyptus, river stone. A perfect tango of tannins and acids, complete with the heel in the air - or maybe that’s my heel, enjoying this wine completely.
Decanted for the usual 3-4 hours.

Ok first time tango with this beast - had some heat - let it breathe for 2 hours and opening up - not sure I am believer but two other times I had a higher version of their cab Shiraz I liked it - this time I am on the fence - give you this much - it can pack a fruit bomb punch - so got my Wednesday smiles going on — 8 years ago

It is a beast. Good descriptor, Mike.

Peter Dipoli

Iugum Alto Adige Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

And they say its takes two to tango, this rarity from the great Peter Dipoli sure is something to spend the night with.
Still remarkably fresh in its primary fruit with one foot entering its drier stage embedding its very sophisticated and complex tertiary character of truffles, forrest floor, coffee, mint chocolate and spice. The palate flows with such an elegant posture, with a good portion very fine powdery tannins that holds the wine throughout and developing, complex finish.

Heredad Ugarte

Onice Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2010

Needs a day or very thorough decanting to show best. Sour cherry, berry stem and a touch of Indian spices on the nose. Sour, almost limoncello like initially on the tongue, followed by stone fruit and a touch of rosemary. The limoncello and rosemary give it a sense of heat, although it's only 13.5abv. This is chorizo and olives' natural tango partner. — 7 years ago

Conjuro translates to what you might assume, Conjurer. This wine is blended and made differently year to year.

On the nose, dark, ruby, floral currants, lush; blackberries, blue fruits, black plum, black raspberries, creamy raspberries on the edges, dark chocolate, mocha, caramel, vanilla, lite herbal notes, black licorice, saddle-wood and lavender & violets.

On the palate; the body is very full. The tannins, big, meaty and sticky. Ripe, ruby fruits of; blackberries, blue fruits, black plum, black raspberries, creamy raspberries on the edges, cherries & strawberries as it opens, dark chocolate, mocha, caramel, vanilla, light herbal notes, black licorice, huge dark rocky minerals that hard grip the palate on the longer set, dark rick semi-sweet soils, tough leather, dry stems, some graphite, dark spice and lavender & violets. Nice round acidity with a rich, ripe, well balanced finish.

Photos of; Tango lobby barrel, tank tasting with Juan and the Bressia semi-adopted stray dog taking a nap out front.
