Whoa, a bargain baby. Although it shows some edges, time will tell how they resolve. A touch of VA on the nose took a sec to blow off, then it screamed of red fruit and smoldering tar. The tar thankfully went from smoldering to sparking off here and there, but then the earth, wow, this is earthy, but still, the fruit dominates. The palate nails the Nebbiolo high amounts of everything (acid, alcohol, tannins structure). But the tannins play fairly, a highlight accessory, not a scene stealer. The tannic grip hangs on but in tandem with fruit and soil into which rose petals may have fallen last spring. I can’t believe the price on this bebe. — 2 months ago

Delicious with an aftertaste of plum. Fun night with Michael and Mackensie. Mackensie bought from Tandem. — 4 years ago

The label took a hit over the years and the vintage is unreadable but I think it was pre 2010. Bright ruby in color. Highly perfumed with wild flowers, ripe raspberry and potpourri. The mouthfeel is soft and bright with tones of black cherry, cola and a touch of mint. The medium long finish was vibrant and juicy. Very California in style. — 5 years ago

Rich and aromatic. Soaring, spicy red fruit.
Cinnamon. Sarsaparilla. Tannin and fruit working in tandem. Gonna be a real beauty in 5-7 years. — 2 years ago

This Spanish pinkie has a beautiful red color, almost brick red, and a nose which carries red fruit along on an earthy bouquet. That earth is also notable on the palate, where it once again travels in tandem with cherries and strawberries. — 2 years ago

Meant to drink this earlier than 8 years out, but gratified that the fruit and other elements were still there and working in tandem. — 4 years ago

A delicious chocolate cherry merlot! Big, bold and chewy. This is how merlot should should taste. Deserves a hearty meal in tandem. — 5 years ago

Pale straw yellow color. Can tell this will have a good amount of salt based off of the brine aromas that waft immediately out of the glass in tandem with melon, lemon zest, and some tropical notes. Tangerine, grapefruit and pear skin flavors with a silky feel. A lot of nice saline structure and good mineral vibes. It’s refreshing too. Love the puckering acidity it leaves behind. — 2 years ago

Always so pleasant to taste this beautiful Syrah from Morocco, both strong and very well balanced with these flowery aromas of violet and pepper. Cool to 15 degrees to balance the slightly marked alcoholic power.

Toujours aussi agréable de goûter cette belle Syrah du Maroc, à la fois costaud et très bien équilibré avec ces arômes fleuris de violette et poivre. Rafraîchir à 15 degrés pour équilibrer la puissance alcoolique un peu marquée. — 4 years ago
