The Path

Domaine Karydas

Naoussa Xinomavro 2013

A treat, paired with Colorado beef tenderloin, wilted chard, mushrooms, and parsnip purée. Big, brash tannins that stood up to the charred edges of the steak. A lot of dark fruit with a touch of (good) funk. Off the beaten path for sure...need to go find some more — 6 years ago

Marabino

Noto Nero d'Avola

Night in Rome. Off the beaten path in a tiny alley near the train station. Great find at the kitchen Culinaria. Jammy. Similar to a Pinot Nior. — 7 years ago

Château Phélan Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1993

Hugely aromatic. On the nose a lovely sweaty leather cowboy hat with tobacco smoke. On the palette wild mushrooms growing along wet stone gravel shaded path with green moss. Perfect color. Nice acidity balance. Medium body. Medium plus finish. Special. — 8 years ago

Lillian Winery

California Syrah 2006

Signature nose. Not much fruit. Restrained mid palate. A might hot on the finish. I would say that these are on the downhill path. Certainly I enjoyed them more when they were younger. My opinion: drink up. — 8 years ago

MAN Family Wines

Warrelwind Western Cape Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Ripe tropical fruit and fresh squeezed lime juice; takes me down that margarita path. Light, light snap pea. Juicy and quenching on the palate. Saline minerality dives into the finish. Holds together tight. — 6 years ago

Mormann Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Next day review. Gentle floral nose, nice acidity and good balance. Long finish, quite dry and acidic. Blend of Pommard and Dijon clones. Only 250 cases made, great finding for under 20$. — 7 years ago

Blind. I was torn between Tempranillo and Malbec at first. Foolishly boarded the Malbec train which took me down the Bdx path. I don't drink enough wine from outside of NZ anymore.

Really good example of the variety. Not a game changer, but nothing to fault. Very enjoyable, and I was told it was very cheap. If so, amazing qpr.

Jules Desjourneys

Moulin-à-Vent Gamay 2009

It's hard to believe the Jules Desjourneys 2009 is a Beaujolais, such is the concentration and depth of this Moulin À Vent. The fruit is not so unusual, a generous dollop of wild strawberries and pie cherries, but then it veers sharply off the sunlit path, into a thicket of scrub and undergrowth, wet decaying leaves and stony brook, only emerge once more with violets, lilacs and sandalwood. Nicely developed, with fine fore-to-mid palate tannins, it's drinking beautifully now and has the potential to last. — 9 years ago

I've had this a few times, and you're right. Not thinking Beaujolais when drinking it.

Sandlands

Amador County Chenin Blanc 2014

I have never successfully saved any Sandlands wine between orders & I'm starting on that path again. This absolutely has the acidic structure to cellar a while, but it is so drinkable with fresh, fleshy fruit right now. @ownrooted knows his way around Chenin. — 8 years ago

Villa Wolf

Ernst Loosen Pfalz Wachenheimer Riesling 2012

Clear, pale and lemon in colour. Medium (+) intensity of delicious aromas that are unwilling to remain complacent as the wine sits in the glass. First opened up to fresh and brandied apricot being the sweeter note amongst some ripe citrus and green apple. Its developed into a nose of tangy lemon starburst, honeysuckle, orange blossom, some exotic tropical fruits and some feint slate-like character. Plenty of zippy, spritzy acid adding a little bit to a medium body. The palate is dry despite being lead down a potential off-dry path expressing its citrus qualities. Longer than medium finish, probably drank a little young. 3-5 more years and she'll be a peach 👌 — 9 years ago
