Apple nose, some on the palate too. Creamy, rich mouthfeel. Sweet but not cloying. Very rich. The appassimento is evident. Delicious for Valentine's Day 2023 from our wedding vintage year 2015 — 8 months ago
Dark fruit, very much like sangria, tropical fruit which I haven’t often had in a red. Still manages to be bold and med/full bodied. Dry enough for @Kim Cuomo who won’t drink sweet anything. — 3 years ago
Terrific volcanic minerality with really nice balance. — 2 months ago
A real treat to get to try this wine. Quite hard to track down but I found it at Enoteca Millesimi in Florence and jammed it in my tiny suitcase. It takes plenty of painstaking work to produce this special wine. Terraced pergola vineyards at scary steep slopes over the Amalfi Coast. Lemons, passionfruit, honey, toasted nuts, camomile. It’s full bodied, rich and supple but with a crisp and mineral finish. — 3 months ago
Sho-nuf I like my chateauneuf! Wild, floral, but muscular and strong.
Usually, I try to pay attention during wine tastings, but honestly a lot of the time I am just imagining how well I would do in American Gladiators. Especially the early 90s version. (When I was a young and impressionable kid.)
I thought Malibu was an idiot and I knew I could take him out in the jousting competition, though I was certain Nitro would bash my head in with a pipe pretty quickly. Diamond... she scared me. The intense lipstick reminded me of some horrible creature of the night in search of blood. I preferred Lace. In fact, I really preferred Lace. (The first version: Marisa Pare. Not the later Lace played by Natalie Lennox Merritt.) I imagine the reason I have a penchant for wild tangled hair now is because of my infatuation with American Gladiator Lace when I was 4-7 years old. When I was younger, I would often imagine battling with Lace. As the events got more intense she would throw herself on top of me in frustration and we'd roll down the gladiator pyramid, making out in a heap of sexual energy and wild animalistic thrusting.
But I digress.
This wine smells like Lace. — 4 years ago
Marisa cuomo- Casta di amalfi- furore- deep coloration- on the nose, smoke, oak, blackberry, and dark cherry. On the palate, dark cherry, blackberry, plum, leather, full bodied. Jammy. Very enjoyable and had just about everyday when in amalfi. — 3 months ago
