I PROPOSE you all try this wine. When I go to sleep the thought of this delicious liquid will RING in my head for eternity. I will now be married to the chateau. I PAPED the question drinking this wine. Couldn’t tell if she was more excited by the tannins or the question. I was very ENGAGED when drinking this thinking of the red berries. What a way to TIE THE KNOT on a lovely evening. — 13 days ago

Quite a beautiful expression of the region… Chose to open a little early for a celebration, but the evidence of it potential was clear on day two after receiving some air.  it was striking that the balance was so distinctive given its potential acidic prowess. Dark fruit danced like a chorus of Celtic dancers - in sync and demanding my attention. Wash St Syrah meets southern burgundy PN ;) — 4 years ago

Dusty mouth feel with some dark deep sensual fruit on the pallet. Cheery and plum explode on the nose. Eating with a nice ribeye with some chimichurri. — 5 years ago

We are tasting through Lidl inexpensive wine to see if we can find any gems. This might be one. Smooth and with unique pinot taste, this is very drinkable and probably would stand up to a more expensive craft wine in a blind tasting. A bit tanic but also nice fruit notes. Long finish. — 6 years ago

I guess I'm comparing age versus pedigree here within the Clerc Milon family.

It opened wrapped up in a knot. Off putting initial aromas. Deep dark just like it's rich younger sibling. Just beginning to brown at the rim. 30 min in it's starting to relax...

Soil. Licorice and something savory on the nose-- almost like a chicken stock. Alcohol infused chocolate on the palate with more earthiness. After 2 hours, I believe there may be more room to open or maybe it's wishful thinking because it all ends rather muddy and bitter..

In the end, I believe this wine is past peak. Probably by a couple or 3 years. It's still interesting and would pair ok with big red meats, but don't count on it too much longer. It's not a stand up 2010.

A deliciously crispy taste of pineapple and sharp grapefruit with abundant minerality. Loved the persistent green apple finish. Typical from the northwest of Rias Baixas region in Galicia with Celtic heritage and millennia winemaking. — 2 years ago

2020 fall. This might be my favorite (at least for immediate enjoyment) among the wines guzzled on our recent Rioja binge. It’s open-knot, with lots of red fruit and spices like mace, but also has typical mature notes - that mushroom and cheese thing. At the same time, it doesn’t feel overly developed - it’s just layered. — 6 years ago

Words “Anam Cara” are Celtic for “friend of my soul.” Nick and Sheila have made wines since planting grapes in 2001. Pale lemon with aromatic aromas of ripe tropical, stone & citrus fruits. On the palate tart apple and melon flavors, with a crisp citrus tang. Medium+ finish, vivid acidity with rich ending. Drinking well now. Nice value. — 6 years ago

This has Sonoma and Monterey county grapes to go with the Santa in it. Classy label with a Celtic knot on it. Light, bright ruby red color. Smells like Pinot Noir. Hints of redwood bark meets red berries and wet rocks. Flavors are well balanced and complex. Bit fruit driven, but there is a bittersweet side here too. The blend of three locales worked out pretty well, and they didn’t just write ‘California’ which is nice. — 3 years ago

Caorunn is crafted in a whisky distillery – Scotland’s Speyside’s Balmenach – one of the first distilleries to be licensed in the production of Scotch whisky in 1824.
Caorunn has 11 botanicals. The main five Celtic ingredients – rowan berry, bog myrtle, heather, coul blush apple and dandelion leaf. These five main botanicals enhance the remaining six traditional botanicals. This special mix of botanicals results in a crisp well balanced dry gin. Although there are hints of citrus, apple, spice and juniper... the flavors are subtle and smooth. For enjoyable G&T options serve with a garnish of choice. Excellent! — 5 years ago

Tannin has grip to it. A mouthful takes me into a cloud forest, a knot of jungle and brush. Intricate and sinewy, like the musculature of a dancer. — 8 years ago
