Carmen

Cocoa powder, black raspberry, creamy tannins. Yum. — 10 years ago
Bodegas Castaño
Solanera Viñas Viejas Yecla Red Blend 2012
Really liked this, ripe black cherries with a hint if clay. — 10 years ago
La Font De L'Olivier
Vielles Vignes Vin de Pays des Côtes de Thongue Carignane 2010
Woodsy, nice acidity, old world jam. — 10 years ago
Jean Lallement et Fils
Grand Cru Brut Champagne Blend
Raw biscuit dough, vanilla, lush and welcoming — 10 years ago
Herdade do Esporão
Assobio Douro Touriga Nacional Blend 2011
Sawdust and pencil shavings, bramble berry. 2011 vintage needs to stay in the bottle for at least another 2-3 years before you should touch it. I think it'll be delightful once it calms down just a bit more. — 10 years ago
Charles Smith
Kungfu Girl Washington State Riesling 2013
Stoney finish. This is a party in your mouth with candied pineapple and peach cobbler. Trace sweetness, had it with Greek food and it worked well — 10 years ago
Four Vines
Paso Robles Port Zinfandel 2008
Not a bad treat for $10. I don't like it as much as a couple late harvest zins I've had recently, but I would recommend this every time over one of the Cali "ports" that most people grab off the bottom shelf. Not as viscous as I hoped for though. — 10 years ago
Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier
Victoria Shiraz Viognier 2012
The nose screams Shiraz with pepper and black fruit. Quite the homage to Cote Rotie as Viognier brings balance and elegance. As this decants the pepper goes from course black to fine white! Shiraz/Syrah is not usually my cup of tea but I'm very happy with this Australian bombshell from Chapoutier. — 10 years ago
Jonathan Michael
Wild berries with dark earth tones. Very large, with shocking acidity, this bad boy could use another 5-10 years easily. — 10 years ago
