Dry, light, very focused. Nearly dusty with very bright but not hot fruit. Nice! — 11 years ago
Heady aromas of scorched earth, smoke and charred red meat, chocolate, black currants, pepper, violets, coffee, and brimstone. Continues on the palate, with a viscous mouthfeel akin to witches' milk and rich dark flavors wound tightly around a green stem of licorice and burnt soil. A volcanic masterpiece of apocalyptic proportions! Truly he'll on earth in a glass. Thick as blood. This one stomps a mudhole in your ass, come from straight out the swamp. Only this swamp was napalmed in the best of ways. Flowers on a fresh, hot grave! — 12 years ago
Great complexity for under $20. Thick fruit almost like a Chardonnay but strong apple smell. Changes as its opened longer. Hints of grappa towards the end. — 11 years ago
A blend of 67 CS 28% Syrah 5 PV this is made by Gilles nicault who is the winemaker who works will all the celebrity winemakers the fruit is from candy mountain and red mountain this wine has a good punt of dark cherry fruit blackberry fruit with dark chocolate and a good amount of earth loamy notes nice complexity on the nose. A thick and chewy wine on the tongue with ripe round tannins very balanced a bigger wine than the feather but just as nuanced. Finish 45+. Excellent+ — 12 years ago
Very good for a Cab. Smooth, needs to open up before serving. Drank w wine club. Quick buzz. Slight after bite. This is a from big winemakers that got together to make a less expensive wine. Described as cassis, toasty oak, sweet fruit, and a show stopper. $20 ish — 13 years ago
Fabulous taste. Smooth and silky yet not such thick taste as pure Pedro, thanks to Palomino. — 11 years ago
If you have tried chocolate wine in the past and been turned off you have not tried this one. Very thick like a port but with the faint taste of chocolate. Lovely as the final wine after a great meal. — 11 years ago
On the nose, a giant mambo of berries, plums, blueberries, violet, chocolate, vanilla coke, background of molasses.
The palate is thick and extremely chewy, cookie dough, butter, raspberries, caramel, hints of liquorice and lavender. Tannins are pretty well-balanced.
Very long length, pretty endless.
An absolute flavor rollercoaster, decanted two hours earlier but even later it started developing savage bay leaves aromas as the alcohol level was disappearing.
A solid wine that showcases strong potential but it does definitely have a too high alcohol content that puts aside more promises. — 13 years ago
