A nice little Sciaccarellu for my Friday night tuna steak aux Indian spices et garden salad. Certainly on the riper side, but with a little chill it goes down quite effortlessly. Rather delicious in fact: an array of maquis herbs, exuberant fruit...an excellent match to a not-so-evident dish. — 9 years ago
Lucious dark fruit, with prune-like notes and a lot of maquis herbs. — 10 years ago
Really liked this surprise from Corsica - an elegant red blend from vineyard where once upon was growing "Maquis" - family, traditional and organic wine making bringing an interesting wine with finesse - a asaluta 😉 — 9 years ago
Made with 7 local grapes of Corsica. Taste of fruit and the maquis. So good I don't even know what to say. — 10 years ago
An extraordinary example of Chilean Cabernet Franc. Many years to go but soft and supple now. It's a treat — 8 years ago
Kicking the bday off with this beauty. The Imperial is exceptional tonight, power and elegance don't get more intertwined, balanced and pure. With air the body emerges and grows in depth. The fruit intensity also ratchets up a lot, telling me this has the stuffing to age another 10+ easy and reward that patience handsomely. Dashes of wild Corsicana scrub (maquis), ripe and polished tannin and pitch perfect acidity. In time I can see this going to 99-100 easy.

Pale as a moonbeam and just as romantic & delicious, this gem from Corsica is a Rosé superstar. Please put it on your bucket list, and save some for Autumn and the first pumpkin risotto you taste that you dapple with Corsica's herb-crusted Fleur du Maquis sheep cheese, and thank me then! — 9 years ago
