Diverso dal 2020, sembra più un Sauvignon, nota minerale, frutta meno evidente, naso diverso. Da aspettare. Appena imbottigliato. — 2 years ago
Blend of local Corsican grapes, which Vermentino was the only one I was familiar with. Tawny gold, ripe yellow fruits, saline freshness, intense concentration and a bit of roundness from lees aging, evocative of scrubby coastal landscapes. Like a good diplomat, an endearing, versatile and fascinating companion to any Mediterranean cuisine — 6 months ago

It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Inky in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose with red and black fruits, oak, cloves, peppercorn and dark chocolates.
Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, light vanilla, herbs, black tea, peppercorn, chocolates and tobacco leaf.
Medium length on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 8 year old, Super Tuscan Merlot blend, is drinking very nicely now. Elegant and rich.
Nicely balanced, soft and complex, and feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient. Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Robert Parker 92 points.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and good with food too. Will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak. I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon . Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.

This is the syrah, but not in the database. Blueberries and some mysterious dark berry on the nose. Surprised to not have more after 1.5 hours decanted. Grippy tannins, but seems a bit flat. Que syrah syrah, right? Update: After 2 hours it's much better. What a difference! Floral and fruity notes balanced with an acidic edge. Full mouth feel, nicely balanced, and undefined fruits. Wow, what a wine this! Definitely needs 2 hours to open. And here I thought the best Syrahs were from France! No, this is a keeper! — 3 years ago

南西側標高900mあたりの畑というなんとも気になるスペックのネレッロマスカレーゼ100。
ハーブやいかにも火山性な火薬、火打ち石感。
透明感に溢れながらもダークチェリーやドライフルーツ、醤油っぽい香り。
アーシーな雰囲気もあって、どこかりんごみたいな香りも。
言葉に置き換えるのが難しいほどの複雑味と多面性。
クリスマスだったので、チキンと食べたが、やっぱりあんまり合わなかったなぁ。
合わせるならローストビーフかな? — 20 hours ago
