Right from the start when you open the bottle and smell the cork, you will get the smooth oaky scents that are entangled throughout the wine.
Pour a bit of wine into a glass and swirl it around and around. Now take your nose to the glass and that rich oaky and vanilla flavour will pleasantly fill your airway.
Okay let’s get to the good part and sip, sip, hooray!
Swish, swish, bish and down the hatchet we go.
This wine will send you a slow yet full bodied flavour of cherries and spices then will develop into a man interesting deep tobacco and smoky aftertaste. This smoke flavour reminds me of the sipping Mescal from Mexico.
This wine also has lingering tannins that go well with the lingering taste. Yummmm!
I hope you can enjoy this wine as much as I have! — 8 years ago

Single vineyard Sancerre from Henri Bourgeois (Loire valley family growing sauvignon since 1590); tasted with winemaker and grandson of Henri Bourgeois (whose first name was Etienne!); example of soil and barrel use to slightly fill out a mouthful of minerality; more dimension, keep its shape; racked direct to bottle; 50% oak use; single vineyard on clay; 2013 23 euros #loire #sancerre #oak #jadis #singlevineyard — 11 years ago

Vinho cor violeta, odor amadeirado, mirtilo e alcool! Deve respirar! No palato, madeira, carvalho! Picante, taninos presentes mas não demasiado! Um q de terroso! Encorpado! Final prolongado! Woody, blueberry, alcohol, need to breath, oak wood, spyce, caracteristics of cabernet, terroir! Long end! Good! #cabernet #cabernetsauvignon #unfiltered #southafrica #wine #vino #vinho #redwine #winelover #southafrica #southafricanwine #mirtilo #carvalho #oak #winelover #africadosul #fleurducap #vinhotinto #wines #southafricanwine #cheers #sommelier — 11 years ago

Decant this bad boy or pour off a glass an hour in advance, it needs air. It also needs #food (meat!), and was perfect with #lamb. Deep ruby colour. Pepper, menthol, roasted nuts and black fruit on the nose (post-decanting). Satisfying, balanced, complex ripe black fruit and #oak on the palate. Love this #malbec! v2012 — 11 years ago

Very drinkable, ripe fruit notes - almost seems sweet; smoky oak and vanilla, satisfying long finish.

Potent #oak, terribly unbalanced, incredible structure and lasting acidity. Velvety tannins, little RS. Ultimately tastes like sour moldy mud. #Malbec — 11 years ago

Maybe sharing it with mom, who loves #charddy & thought this was a great bottle, caused me to enjoy it more this time or maybe it was being able to drink a bottle and not just a glass, thus tasting its evolutions that caused the higher rating? Either or, it's a v good #wine from #japan. Love it's electric lift & lack of obtrusive #oak — 11 years ago
