That was a magnum. From 1999. I swear. Ask anyone. It was glorious. There was also a magnum of 1999 Vieux Telegraph, but the patron ahead of me poured it into their own glass like a waterfall. Hence the next pour, mine, and what I suspect for the remaining pours, was a circus of bitter floaties everywhere. Sad moment. — 7 years ago
Bottle that looks like Aunt Jemima. Velvety, beautiful finish. Tastes better than Schwetty balls that choke me like sword-swallowing circus performers. Happiness follows with every swallow. — 8 years ago
Love the whites from this producer! Savory with great acid. For me: on the mid-pallet, these a weightiness with mild tropical fruit and I’m reminded of cotton candy (or circus peanuts, marshmallow candies). Not in an off putting way. It’s just a flash of memory when I tasted it...but what is this flavor!?! — 8 years ago
Sweet circus of fruits. Will buy again. — 6 years ago
All around. Kevyt, kevyen jopa hintelän nahkainen. — 7 years ago
Nose: tobacco, black cherry, plum, “scented marker” or “circus peanut” aroma. Taste: cooked fruit, raisin, maybe cotton candy?, after open for a while had chocolate, complex, perfectly balanced with cleansing tannins — 7 years ago
Reminds me of the circus wine, but not as Smokey. Nice, easy to drink wine. Medium weight. Peppery & spicy. — 8 years ago
This is tasty and true to a malbec. Bitter sweet with a hint of cherry and sourness.
This is definitely a wine paired well with red meat. It has the flavor comopentents to enhance a juicy steak or ribs. Slightly on the sour side of malbecs. This wine is tasty even by itself. — 8 years ago
Nice, easy sparkling, order with mom and dad sometime. We’re at dolly! — 3 years ago
Quite tart with a slight sweet finish. Lots of circus and peach and minerals. — 3 years ago
The Mrs. really likes this one, especially when she learned the cost. (Note: Her favorite White is Bordeaux Blanc, and there are plenty of similarities here). Classic aromas of hay, lemon juice, crushed rock and cat pee. More mouth feel and layers than expected - perhaps from lees aging - bright acid and underripe circus with pithy notes. Lemon and lime. Fresh. Feels like spring time. — 6 years ago

Amazing nose upon opening, landscapes of dates intermixed with sundried tomatoes on a high-tone portlike circus extravaganza.
Massive amounts of sediment. Monumental second ever vintage effort from this dry example.
Sagrantino is thought to have Greek origins, and its name is believed to come from the word “sagra,” or feast, since red wines were always drunk at seasonal celebrations.
The estate is 100% organic. All fruit is harvested by hand and wines are made without filtration. — 8 years ago

Orange blossom half and half sipped out of a cantaloupe soaked in the Atlantic. Also those orange circus peanut candies you find at rural gas stations. I know this note sounds terrible but it’s just because I’m a poor writer, the wine is actually quite good as per usual. — 2 years ago
