Medium garnet coloration. On the nose, amarena cherry and vanilla. On the palate, medium to full body, cherry, balsamic, herbs, red berry and vanilla. Tannins still strong. Medium to long finish. — 5 months ago

Couvent des Jacobins

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

1989. Somehow this estate remains a bit under the radar, but the wines are very reliable and age beautifully. Amarena cherries, rose petals, cedar and a hint of trufle. Velvety mouthfeel with elegance and depth and a long finish. Excellent. — 2 years ago

Vino de la Tierra Castilla y León Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra Red Blend 2014

Enticing & seductive with spicy, fresh red fruit, with some ripe cherry, a touch of amarena and a fresh, mineral edge. So fresh, lively, inviting.
Light yet luscious on the palate, vibrant juicy cherry acidity. Love the tannins - grippy yet sappy and quite polished.
Cherries & raspberries with a orange peel sidekick. Delicious.
This is a great wine - authentic & so fresh & juicy yet elegant at the same time.
You just gotta love Gredos.

Cockburn's

Vintage Port Blend 2000

Black candied amarena cherries dipped in melted bitterchocolate. Wow…
Complex nuances of asphalt, damp earth, soy sauce and oriental spice. Open and generous, wonderful freshness and purity. Not alcoholic at all, this is an extremely well-crafted and beautiful Port wine. 😍

Domaine Tour Saint Michel

Cuvée du Lion Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2019

Absurd value from @wtso
Pnp let sat for an hour or so, initially very jammy but that blew off.
N: Dark red fruits verging on black, Amarena cherries, tobacco, earth, iron.
P: That sense of iron repeats, virtually no tannins, Sense of place, yes.
As another reviewer said, you could drink this down easy.
We’re still looking for complexity though.

Domaine de Chevalier

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

1985 vintage. From a bottle with a perfect level. Deep colour still. Showing much younger than its age, the nose still features a lot of black fruit, mixed with spices and cedar wood. Concentrated layers of blackberries, amarena cherries, dark chocolate and spices in a powerful, yet elegant ripe tannic structure balanced by fresh acidity. Very long lingering finish. Excellent, but no hurry to drink this already, no signs of fatigue. — a year ago

Domaine Grand Roche

Irancy Chardonnay 2017

Cold climate burgundy from far north Irancy. Quiet but very fresh on first taste, strong roses and violets. Day two acid mellowed and gave way to amarena cherries. Great value if you’ve got the time to let her breathe! — 2 years ago

Riserva Montefico Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2015

N: Like cherries dipped in balsam/menthol. Mushrooms, underbrush, amarena cherries, leather,on and on.
P: Bright acids and furry tannins, but mid weight, stony, nary a trace of wood, blood/iron, so pleasurable. A sense of tar. Constantly evolving.
1 hr decant.
