Reddish purple hues. Maroon at the very tip.
Wonderfully intense flavors of cherry, raspberry, dried apricot, spices, and hint of vodka. Very little tannins. Thin texture. Finishes with aroma of dates. β 9 years ago

Crushed blackberry and raspberry on the nose. Light in body with one of the best finishes I've tasted in a wine. Light, playful, and complex. β 9 years ago
This is a bold and fruity cab sauv with the typical black currant and cherry flavors. I believe this one will be even that much better after a couple of more years. I left this wine out overnight Uncorked and the next day I had and it was very good β 9 years ago
Apparently 2009 is the first vintage of this original blend of Touriga Nacional (34%), Syrah (33%) and Primitivo. Dark red with purplish hue. Powerful nose, slightly Port-like, reminescent of black fruits, dried herbs, coffee and the violets I associate with Touriga Nacional. Intense taste of sweet dark berries and spices, with firm, but well-tamed tannin and refreshing acidity keeping it in balance. Good length too. Absolutely interesting blend that should age gracefully for many years to come. 2009 vintage. Abv 14,3%. 31 euro. β 10 years ago

El Chianti uno de mis preferidos, siempre trae recuerdos, en casa de mis Nonnos los domingos, la Nonna se daba el gusto de servirnos el Chianti con un chorrito de agua mientras mis padres levantaban la ceja "solo un poco de vino con agua, les hace bien decΓa la Nonna..." Buenos tiempos! Estupendo el Leonardo con D.O. C.G. color intenso, con ese ligero picor que permite acompaΓ±ar con cualquier plato de nuestra gastronomΓa, esta vez un arroz con pollo (tambiΓ©n se elabora con pato) la armonΓa perfecta! β 9 years ago

C.G. Di Arie Sierra Foothills Syrah 2006: Medium-full bodied. Medium soft tannins. Good balance. Bold fruit flavors of blackberry & plum followed by chocolate, cedar, smoke & spice. The finish was long & persistent. For me, this was a beautiful expression of the Syrah grape (small production of only 525 cases). So much more flavor & brightness than I expected after 15+ years. Absolutely delicious and paired nicely with a grilled ribeye steak. Cheersπ· β 4 years ago
