Dense black plum and cherry fruit aromas that took time to appear. Initially, the nose was dominated by the scent of rubber tires. Same dark fruit flavors but they seemed a bit muted and flat. Juicy acidity comes through on the finish. Might be a bit past its prime. — 5 years ago

Bone dry Italian white I got from Wine Access. This wine is so foral on the nose and goes great with cheese. Perfect wine to start the evening. — 6 years ago

Gorgeous nose of; lightly spiced,foral; ripe candied fruits. Bright floral bouquets of red flowers and violets with just a touch of herbaceousiness.

The body is full. Tannins are thick & meaty. Ripe light and dark red fruits. Brilliant acidity. Round polished finish.

More photos of two foolish field working picking at a much slower pace than the rest of the team and the Truquilemu Vineyard we picked Sunday. — 8 years ago

More advanced than other 97’s I’ve had. Still grit with flowers. Always get a touch of Cognac from the mid 90’s BV Tapestry’s. Less on the 97. Beautiful, ripe, foral fruits with spice, barrel toast with evolution & integration. Incredible structure, balance. Violets for days. Still has 5-8 years.

This bottle on auction are more advanced than my bottles or others bought at auction. This is just around it’s precipice where other bottles I’ve had required more time. Another 8 years. This is more within 3 years. I would add that a 1997 94 points rating greatly over shadows a young(ish) vintage of the same. Just gets better and better with each sip.

1997 the vintage of our modern times. This wine was about $25 on release, give or take. Today, it drinks like a $100 plus bottle of Napa Cabernet. — 3 years ago

Honestly, I was thinking a red blend from Portugal?! Very skeptic but this blend is actually quite nice. Hints of blue and boysenberry on the nose but on the palate it’s a complex and richer, deeper red taste like blackberries and a bit of rhubarb; slightly acidic. Super cheap but doesn’t taste cheap. — 5 years ago

9.1

Vinho muito bom. Vermelho vivo, sem muito corpo. Cheiro mistura frutas com madeira, dando uma característica bem leve. O que chama a atenção é ser um vinho rápido, seu gosto envolve a boca e some rapidamente. Em alguns momentos conseguimos sentir longe um tatino já um tanto macio. Com massa casa bem com sabores delicados. — 7 years ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Вину требуется аэрация, лишь после этого оно раскрывается ароматами кожи, кофе, чернослива, копченостей, гвоздики и лежалых яблок. Умеренная кислотность, мягкие, не интенсивные танины. Приятное, зрелое вино. — 8 years ago

9.2

Cherry liqueur, dried blackberries, black currants, bay leaf, dried oregano, white pepper, creme yvette. Fresh acidity, medium bodied, satin texture, mild smooth velvet tannins, herbal-smoky-slightly foral/fruity finish. Great fruit/herbal balance, aromatics evolved in glass. Decanting recommended for this producer. I’m drinking this too young, still really enjoyable, has the structure to be phenomenal, cellaring will be rewarded. — 9 years ago
