Big sticker, big taste. Anniversary budget wine...Mingus Khan was gripping about the price until it was tasted. Big and bold. Huge black currant, cassis, and cedar/hemlock on the nose. Dry and tannic (pleasant) mouthfeel with a linger aftertaste that rivaled the hang time of Helman's Chanel. Not too fruity or juicy, great to pair with beef. Definitely worth it. — 12 years ago
Intense fruit with good balance - interesting name, not sure what it meant... — 9 years ago
Leflaive Montrachet 1996: Lush and full, with explosive flavors of citrus fruits, acacia blossom, spicy oak, and a hint sun-drenched asphalt. How long is the finish? How long do you have? A Chardonnay worthy of Coleridge's “Kubla Khan”: “he on honey-dew hath fed/ And drunk the milk of Paradise”. Less poetically, it is a Creamsicle with euphoric powers.

My favorite Malbec to date. Mike Khan can second that opinion? — 10 years ago
"I'm every woman", says Debbie...
I think "I feel for you" - it's gotta be tough...
That's when I realise this wine is not Chaka Khan. What it is, though, is a fantastic Argie red.
Vanilla, berries, nubile tannins with a crisp finish... Likely the best bottle I've had from South America. — 10 years ago

Much debate about the pronunciation of “Sciacarello” which our somm helpfully settled by informing us that it’s actually “Shaka-rello”, as in Chaka Khan. Now that’s service! Anyway this was totally awesome, drinks like an aged Pinot or Nebbiolo with lots of umami notes of mushroom and teriyaki. — 6 years ago
