Quinta de Carapeços

Vinho Verde Rosé Espadeiro 2017

There is a sweet grapefruit acid high richness. As it was with many of the Carapeços wines I kept accidentally (by which I mean on purpose) skipping the spit bucket. Too good. — 4 years ago

Grange Bin 95 Shiraz 2017

Bucket list wine. Great expression of Syrah with full, bold, round, and opulent characteristics. Doesn’t tire the palate but briskly hugs it. Cheers. — 8 months ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2009

This has been on my bucket list for a while, and we just got a few bottles in my area. I went in to this with high expectations and it totally delivered. One of the most complex wines I’ve had - there is just so much going on here. The nose on this just doesn’t stop evolving. Beautiful oxidation and so many distinct aromas that I’m not going to rattle them off. Texture, flavor, this has everything to offer for my palate. Need to hunt down an older bottle next time. For me, this lived up to the hype. — 3 years ago

These are so good. This is the reserva no? Gran reserva current release somewhere in the 90s I think...

@Josh Morgenthau correct, it’s the Reserva. I did snag a bottle of the 2010 Grand Reserve Rose though, which I’m pretty pumped to try.

Moris Farms

Morellino di Scansano Sangiovese Blend 2016

€16 on the restaurant wine list for a Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah blend. At one of the nicest restaurant in San Quirico D’Orcia, a small commune in the Tuscan hills, but weren’t impressed with our food selections. Wine was pleasant but not a lot of depth. Served from their cabinet above the refrigerators, so we needed to cool it off a few degrees in an ice bucket. — 5 years ago

Cool name, rather simple label. I’m just saying, you have the brand Chemistry and that’s the best design you can do?

Château Beauséjour

Pentimento Montagne-St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Tried this again, 1st bottle was a dud! Made by Michele d'Aprix, an American woman who studied organic chemistry in college and ended up in Bordeaux. Chemical equation on the label is the equation for calcareous clay soil in the right bank of Bordeaux giving a unique character. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits and notes of cedar and spice. Palate shows flavors of blackberry & cherry with tobacco and pepper spice. Drying tannins, medium+ finish, nice balance ending with earthy herbs & black pepper notes. — 4 years ago
