White pepper laden lemon that turns to powdered vampire. Plenty of lime in addition! Breadfruit, white asparagus white, underripe epricot and white rock covered in wet kefir leaf. Astounding! #tenutacavalierpepe #campagnia #bianco #fiano #refiano #italianwhite β 8 years ago

This 60/40 Durif/Shiraz is inky heaven. Donβt let the nose fool you with this one; post notes are remarkably juicy yet dr. This is some vampire wine right here π§ββοΈ β 7 years ago
My first Bulgarian wine and I am impressed by its complexity, by its ability to confirm all of my generalizations about the sheer exoticism of eastern Europe. This is a confusing, yet glorious amalgam of roses, pine, mountain air, and wild berries. This is Julie Andrews, spinning with arms spread, among seven wanderers genuflecting at vampire tombs. Disorienting. Vino di Vino. β 8 years ago
Delicious vampire wine, at such a young age this wine smells like blood and meats, nice white pepper notes as well, beautiful thick texture, violets, cherry, currant, very delicious. Loved it β 9 years ago

There's something primal about Mencia. I always think of freshly butchered meat. I cannot stop drinking this. This is a glass of sweet blood from the innocent. I feel like a vampire. β 9 years ago

If I was a vampire, I imagine getting drunk on the blood of my victims, and tasting the sensuous flavor burst of this brilliant red blend. Deep purple, with a peppery chocolate cherry. The victim was definitely a smoker, aged in wood. I Vant you to Vant me, and this wine does. β 5 years ago
