Obtained via Zachy’s summer sale lol. Surprisingly pale when poured. Nose is floral cherries, palette is a bit medicinal with like dandelions lol. Medicinal quality slowly dissipates as it comes to room temp 🤔 — 4 years ago

Via Coravin. Light garnet in color. Lighter in body. Heavy essence of strawberry on the nose. Anise, cola and black raspberry mid-palate. Med firm in tannins and a nice compliment to the Nuits St. George we had earlier in the evening. — 6 years ago

Splendid bright fresh fruit. L says burnt rubber, licorice, vibrant raspberry with some oak. Light liquid mouth-feel. From Barnyard comes out with air and warmth. May not stand up to food, but delightful. Wine Traditions via Cork 2017 on 29 Sep 2018. $21. — 7 years ago

Medium gold color. Not showing much in the glass in terms of effervescence and bubbles. A little oxidative on the nose. Notes of bread and a little caramel. Remembered that this came via an auction lot of various bottles so provenance unknown. Interesting that with air it got better as a wine, but as a champagne it was a bit lacking. — 8 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). — 4 years ago

At Grossi Florentino in Melbourne a week ago. Forgot to photograph the bottle so added via Search. Sandy bitter tannins as one expects from Barolo of this young age especially from a cooler year like 2012. Nose reminiscent of McBarens Plum Cake pipe tobacco which I smoked at University 45 years ago! Medium weight palate with some tar evident with earthy minerality Finishes with some austerity reflective of the vintage. — 7 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) — 6 years ago

this one surprised me--would never ever give a second thought to Italian Syrah, but this was elegant and harmonious and damn fine all around. — 9 years ago

Отличное зеленое португальское вино - игристое (немного) и с легким оттенком зеленого яблока. — 9 years ago
