Restaurant recommendation by Via Carota — 6 years ago
Pale gold. Aromas of dried lemon, beeswax and jasmine, with a hint of fennel emerging with air. Chewy and dry in the mouth, showing very good depth and heft to its nicely concentrated citrus/orchard fruit flavors. Lingers with very good persistence, leaving notes of tangerine, pear skin and dusty minerals behind. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, April 2019) — 7 years ago

Has a lot of white wine characteristics: papaya, butterscotch, minerality. Clearly a red wine. It's tannins sneak up on you. Really delicious and interesting. Drinking great now. — 10 years ago
Отличное зеленое португальское вино - игристое (немного) и с легким оттенком зеленого яблока. — 10 years ago
Very nice - cherry and vanilla. Quite soft for a brunello, but well worth drinking. — 7 years ago
I know the cool kids are bored with orange wines, but here in the Midwest we're lucky to get our hands on any. This beauty has a wonderful bitter tamarind flavor I've previously never tasted in wine. Great with food. — 9 years ago

Bright, mineral, acidic, but smooth, with floral layers and texture. — 11 years ago
I still have quite a few wines like this from my early days of wine collecting - stuff that was highly rated or recommended in the $15-30 price range (this was $18 from Wine Library in 2009). Wines that could provide a great quality for the price, but that no one, including me, ever expected would spend a dozen years in my cellar. Many people would assume wines like this one to be hopelessly past prime, but over and over again I’m surprised how well so many of them - from both the old and new world - hold up. At first this wine seemed to be over the hill, with some brownish tinge to the color, balsamic aroma and leathery mouthfeel, but the longer it’s in my glass the more I’m enjoying it. The sweet and intense red cherry fruit is sightly raisiny in character yet still somehow bright, the tannins are integrated but still firm, and the acid is balanced and mouth watering. Pretty classic Grenache-Carignane that would hold its own against Priorats costing several multiples of its price. Sometimes wine makes you smile (most times). — 5 years ago

The nose is an entire florist shop, such an intense bouquet! Dried tobacco and light strawberry play with rose petal on the palate. Must try wine of 2018! — 8 years ago
