Capo Giro

Sine Qua Non

Capo dei Putti Syrah 2014

Inky in color with a short purple rim. Not showing age at all.

Fruity nose, but not very pronounced.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, spices, dark chocolates, light vanilla, coffee, black pepper, earth, tobacco leaf and herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 10 year old Syrah is starting to drink nicely now, although still very young. Rich, extracted and definitely in your face kind of wine.

Needs a few hours to open up. I gave it 2 hours in the decanter, but it was not enough, and unfortunately it finished too quickly.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Big, bold and beautiful.

Robert Parker 96 points.

A blend of 90% Syrah, 3% Petite Sirah, 5% Viognier and 2% Grenache. Aged for 38 months in new French oak barrels.

16.2% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$325.

Almerita Brut Chardonnay

Very refreshing siting by the pool at Capo Faro winery. Citrus, yeasty, and a candied aroma….perhaps butterscotch. Crisp on the palette with a nice acidity. — 2 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2004

Sublime. Iron fist, velvet glove and all that. Beyond doubt that this cuvée rocks when Capo not made. Decant briefly and sip away slowly. — 4 years ago

9.2

Delicious. Medium color and body. Light juicy and floral aromas. #giro grape. Pepe and I traded bottles. I asked him about this grape and I’m still awaiting a response. There’s a Giro grape on Mallorca that was recovered by some friends of mine Miquel and Toni Gelabert, but that grape is white and has gris and red mutations…this wine of Pepe from #Alicante is red and not gris. Then there’s a Giro on Sardegna but Pepe has yet to tell me if it’s the same as the Sardinian grape or not. In any case it’s somewhere between a Light Garnacha and a Trosseau noir very perfumed and soft. Highly recommendable. I drank straight away because it was too tasty but it can age for 3/5 years no problem. — 3 years ago
