I'm thinking about selling all my shit and moving to Corsica. I probably wouldn't last long since I have no language skills. #kermitlynch #rose #rosewine #corsica #corsicanwine #corsicarose #dryrose — 8 years ago

A light yet delightful red from Corsica. Sciaccarellu grapes with an uncanny resemblance to Pinot Noir. Hints of red fruit with a faint peppery finish. Delicious! #corsica — 10 years ago
I’m not as enthusiastic about this one as Suckling’s 90 score. It’s a #chardonnay and #vermentino blend from #corsica - Richer lemony body plus faint tropical notes. It held up well over a week in the wine fridge so for the modest price it’s not bad. — 6 years ago
Vintage 2015 / Exploring the wines from #Corsica. This reserve Bellucenti is named after Saint Lucia with ‘the most beautiful eyes in the world’. Made from local curiosity grape #nielluccio and #syrah. Dark colour. A warm and serious smell, hint of vannila, brushwood, leather and morello cherries. Great p/q. Smooth taste. Not complex. Good acidity. The cuvees name made me think of Monica Belluci (strange how brains work 😁). The wine makes me happy. — 8 years ago

Sea spray to blood oranges...kaleidoscopic! Grand Cru in weight and texture. Long, complex acid finish. One of my white wines of the year! #biancugentile #corsica #leccia — 10 years ago
Kicking the bday off with this beauty. The Imperial is exceptional tonight, power and elegance don't get more intertwined, balanced and pure. With air the body emerges and grows in depth. The fruit intensity also ratchets up a lot, telling me this has the stuffing to age another 10+ easy and reward that patience handsomely. Dashes of wild Corsicana scrub (maquis), ripe and polished tannin and pitch perfect acidity. In time I can see this going to 99-100 easy.

Vintage 2016 / made from #nielluciu #sciaccarello #syrah #grenache Bio-dynamic. Young vines. Just an unpretentious pleasurewine. With awesome balance and you do not need to search for spicyness, red fruit like raspberries. It is there immediately. Very nice wine from #corsica — 7 years ago
Vibrant, great fruit and acidity. Would buy this again. Lasted a while after opening. #corsica #ferryplazawm — 9 years ago
Vibrant. Wow. Nice. Bright red fruits. A bit grainy. Good QPR. Go #corsica — 10 years ago
A lot of fruit for a Corsican red (ime), blueberry, tart blackberry and raspberry, completely offset by black olive and herbs from the typical Corsican machis that makes its way into the wines like the herbs in Provence can sometimes do.

White mint, Smoky tangerine, nectarine, magnolia blossom, honeysuckle, clear enamel, slate, gypsum and grapefruit pith pleasantly greet the nose. Pear becomes apricot, then tangerine becomes kumquat with ruby grapefruit pith, pink strawberry, white mushroom, lemon and gravel. Complex, cascading, transcendent. I like what is going on here! Budding, pungent red flowers in citric green sheaths. #corsica #frenchwine #rosé #vivalafrance — 11 years ago

Lifted, aromatic and mineral medium #sciaccarello red from #corsica. Soft cherry, wet stone aromas. Crunchy red fruit on the palate, lovely balance and a clean finish. — 5 years ago
