Tip top quality. Dark and dirty tones on the nose lead to an eyeopening showcase of depth of flavor carried with such grace and softness. Pure artistry and craftmanship. Homerun, slamdunk, hole in one. — 11 years ago

First wine of the day and it's light and fruity with the tannins and hints of grapefruit that lad on the tip of your tongue. A very light and refreshing wine. — 12 years ago

Lovely passion fruit pomegranate bouquet. Smooth. Tannins on the tip of the tongue that do a salsa dance the rest of the way back to a bolder, smooth finish. — 11 years ago

Jammy leather nose maybe with a nutmeg. Very fruit forward. Missing the tip of the tongue hitting mid palate with a slight tannic feel and finishing soft. — 13 years ago

Exciting warm nose of pencil tip or something. Juicy yet velvety on the palate. After a while in the glass, I thought there was a slight alc burn. — 11 years ago

Spanish old vine garnacha from the "mountains in Spain". Not sure if it's the same mountains of 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' by Hemingway, but in case it is, I'll tip my glass up to the Republic and the beauty of American literature. Wish I knew what it was like to have it out of a wine skin! Obscenity in the milk, yes! #bookishwine — 12 years ago
