Nice easy summer white Bordeaux - at Astoria and Luxe for $30. — 4 years ago
Located opposite the Chateau d'Yquem, the Rabaud-Promis castle, on the hill Rabaud since the late eighteenth century. Sweet stone fruit aromas with hints of honey. On the palate full flavors of orange and peach with notes of citrus notes adding a bit of spice. Balanced acidity, rich finish ending with botrytis-like character. Very nice! — 6 years ago
The bigger and bolder brother of Promis - this one the classic Super Tuscan blend - fantastic balance, great nose — 11 years ago
Medium-intensity ruby dress with slight ruby reflections. Elaborate nose, rich aromatic bouquet: cherry, red fruits, licorice, roasting, herbaceous notes, fennel, herbs, caramel, oak, smoke, tobacco. The mouth is more delicate than expected, in a style reminiscent of Burgundy. The finish is superb, developing the promised aromas on the nose. At its peak.
Robe rubis d’intensité moyenne avec de légers reflets rubis. Nez élaboré, bouquet aromatique riche: griotte, fruits rouges, réglisse, torréfaction, notes herbacées, fenouil, aromates, caramel, chêne, fumée, tabac. La bouche est plus délicate qu’attendue, dans un style évoquant la Bourgogne. La finale est superbe, développant les arômes promis au nez. A son apogée. — 2 years ago

11/17/20 Tuesday night and to follow up on last night's Gaja Ca'Marcanda Promis I have opened the 2016 Ca' Marcanda Bolgheri Magari. A Super Tuscan blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot.
On the nose there is black cherry, plum, black raspberry, strawberry, mint, bell pepper, mocha and crushed gravel.
On the palate there is black cherry, red plum, black currant, green bell pepper, cedar, herbs and an earthyness.
This wine is full bodied with a smooth velvety mouthfeel, medium + acidity and medium + smooth round tannins that leads to a long dark fruit finish. A beautiful expression of a complex super tuscan. Love the mouthfeel and the all around expression of this wine. Continue having a great week and do stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 4 years ago

Tannic at the open and smoother into the finish. This one will be even better with more years behind it. — 3 months ago
