Smell like a Dr Pepper but with none of the additives (obviously). Skrate cherry cola. Cranberry and cutting acidity. Supple and generous but light and pristine at the same time. Vg — 8 years ago

Beautiful ruby in color with a light ruby rim. Doesn't seem to show aging at all.

Fruity nose of blueberries, cherries, unripe plums, oak, vanilla, licorice, strawberries, spices, chocolates, smoke, peppermint, red candy, light vegetables, coffee, bell pepper, tobacco, earth, pencil lead, peppercorn and leather.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Dry and tart on the palate with strawberries, raspberries, oak, licorice, spices, earth, leather, almonds, cherries, spices, bell pepper, tobacco, beef jerky and peppercorn.

Long finish with firm tannins, black pepper and tart cherries.

This 9 year old Spanish red is still young and needs another 2 to 4 years in the bottle, but drinks well now.

Very nice by itself, with nice complexity. A great wine with food, with a nice mouthfeel and bright acidity.

Needs 3 hours to open up properly. Robert Parker gave it 94 points. I Don't know about that...

A blend of 30% Syrah, 20% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. Aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels.

13.5% alcohol by volume. — 10 years ago

deep, ripe and minty on the nose, with berry power foretelling a pure, lush palate that’s packed with berry flavors and light herbal shadings. Impressive and super tasty, especially given the price of $8 at Fresh Market. — 12 years ago

What an interesting wine. Mainly nebbiolo but dollops of craviatina add spice to the roses. I'm sometimes a bit skeptical of wines that are described as"natural" as the first descriptor but no need to be so here. — 8 years ago

Botte 47. Phenomenally complex and constantly evolving. Initially savory with some animal fur, toasty honey (aged semillon) notes, slight star fruit. Then it evolved into dried flowers, mushroom, and dark fruit - reminded me of a young Barolo. Then black tea, green tea. Then strong dried spearmint, honeyed toasty complexity like the '81 Lopez de Heredia. Medium bodied with slightly elevated sparkling acidity. Not intense, but persistent on the palate. To borrow a phrase from Veronelli- It burrowed into my memory. I hope it made me forever better. — 10 years ago

9.1

Nose a bit funky like black olive, the syrah component to this wine really amped its complexity. A bit more brooding than full tempranillo crianza offerings, this has integrated notes of cedar and ripe red fruits, and that touch of earthy, savory, lightly pungent syrah in support.

Good complement to garlic toast, roasted peppers and grilled salchiccons. — 8 years ago

Full bodied (for its varietal). Black fruit, raspberry jam and a tad of mint on the nose. Balanced mature acidity. Tight, low/medium tannins. An all around excellent specimens of VNdM. — 8 years ago

Holy mother fucking shit I had no idea this is what chardonnay can do. The flavor stayed in my mouth on full volume for whole minutes at a time. I don't know what the hell is going on here but this shit is absolutely off the charts. — 10 years ago
