Na verdade é um pinotage. A cor já não é tão vibrante e já puxando para uma tonalidade de terra. Tem um bom corpo na taça. Um vinho bem aromático, lembra flores e frutas. O sabor é bem diferente, agradável, com bom rastro. Sente-se o álcool mais na garganta do que na boca, e não parece tão denso. — 4 years ago
Dark blackish red that slightly clings to the glass. Black fruit and tobacco on the inviting nose. Full bodied palate gives black cherry, black tea, and cigar box. Fine dusty tannins. Medium acidity. Long, luxurious, black velvet finish. Calls out for grilled or roasted meats. Beef will do, but lamb or game would be sublime. Drink now through 2028 or beyond. — 4 years ago
Terrific rose of pinot noir from Maggie Harrison of Antica Terra. This is not your garden-variety rose: serious skin contact time coupled with her incredible wine-making abilities has produced a really substantive wine. Reminds me a bit of Manfred’s SQN roses (not surprising, I guess, since Maggie worked with Manfred for I believe a decade or so before striking out on her own with what I think is the best winery in the Willamette Valley). Do yourself a favor and try to snag some of this. Terrific juice. — 3 years ago
Do, 28.04.2022: Sitges, Restaurant Maricel — 3 years ago
Monthly WTF group recap. Theme this month was “bring something special”. Normally we taste all of the wines blind, but we decided to do a relaxed night with amazing wines at a great restaurant. Spectacular evening!
What a treat this will be in 10yrs! Very youthful right now. I don’t know how the grapes are used here, but it was reminiscent of whole cluster Pinot. Similarities to the Antica Terra Angelical wine but more spice and denser core. Lifted and energetic profile. Smoked and slightly bloodied with iron and smoky beef jerky. The finish showed tart mulberries and baked black cherries. Oak wasn’t very noticeable. Hold. — 5 years ago

Aroma of green apple, pretty sweet with a lemon-apple-melon taste which was hard to deduce. I do enjoy it and will probably drink it again. — 8 months ago
