A sweeter red, not dry, refreshing — 5 years ago
Here is an interesting red blend for my #AgedWineTuesday series.
Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
On the nose cherries, blueberries, light oak, light spices, black pepper, pencil lead, tobacco leaf, wet leaves, cola, earth and leather.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, strawberries, red currants, oak, tobacco, light oak, coffee, dark chocolates, coke, earth, light vegetables and peppercorn.
Medium finish with firm tannins and tangy pomegranates.
This unique blend from California is still drinking nicely. What a nice surprise, i did not expect it to be so alive by now.
Needs an hour of air time for the tannins to show up, and bring nice structure.
This 22 year old has seen better days, but still very enjoyable. Always nice to try a small piece of history. Must have been kept very well in the last 20 years.
Thank you Paul for sharing this.
I paired it with cheeses and olives.
A blend of 34% Nebbiolo, 32% Dolcetto and 34% Refosco.
13.9% alcohol by volume.

Decent Italian red blend — 2 years ago
This brilliant red wine presents itself elegantly, with a nose that marries the fruit of Sangiovese with the smoke of Merlot. Dark fruit is what you smell, with a bit of vanilla and spice from the wood. The wine drinks spectacularly, with a full mouthfeel, soft tannins and a long-lasting finish. My friendly neighborhood publicist feels that it is a great wine with which to toast a strong, bold woman on International Women’s Day on March 8, 2022. — 3 years ago

50/50 sangiovese grosso and merlot. Full bodied with dark fruit, some touches of coffee with bitterness and acidity but great structure with earthiness and great tannins with a long finish. Definitely something to try again. — 8 days ago
