Fantastic at eight years old! Vibrant dark/red fruit… a touch of thyme and a pinch of rosemary. Michael Shaps built this and you can tell. Fantastic attack (cherry sweetness) and the mid palate is just a tango of balance (slightly stewed fruit and herbs)…
Medium finish but delightful in staying inside the boundaries for what this wine is meant to do — 9 months ago
I find this one kind of hard to describe. It was very deep and very concentrated with flavors that just sort of stewed together. It was almost like this wine was lacking oxygen at some point in its life and it just tasted still. Not dead, there was life in it, but it was more like it was structured to be verystill and expressive in bold and different ways. Not a bad wine at all, justIntense and different. — 2 years ago
This is the Artazu Pasos de San Martin Navarra, a varietal Garnacha. A bit sleepy before it gets air, it gradually Benjamin Buttons and develops a terrifically pure nose of kirsch and raspberry ooze, along with crushed rock dust and sandalwood. In the mouth it’s got intense fruit, but is laser-focused and has excellent acids. Zero flab.
Just enough tannin to package it all. Really nice rendition of Grenache. — 4 years ago
Very dry for a dessert wine — 6 years ago
And they say its takes two to tango, this rarity from the great Peter Dipoli sure is something to spend the night with.
Still remarkably fresh in its primary fruit with one foot entering its drier stage embedding its very sophisticated and complex tertiary character of truffles, forrest floor, coffee, mint chocolate and spice. The palate flows with such an elegant posture, with a good portion very fine powdery tannins that holds the wine throughout and developing, complex finish. — 7 years ago
My corner store guy begged me to buy this, so I did. A blend of Italian grapes, which an internet search tells me consists of Falanghina, Trebbiano and Fiano. It's crisp and refreshing, though the flavors are quite muted. Stone fruit, almond, honey. James Suckling gave it 9.4. Let's not get crazy.

Mineral driven, honey, concentrated. — 2 years ago
Good. Started with a surprising honeysuckle note given the description was sage, pear blossom and autumnal. Mellowed out and lost that taste. Got more full bodied. Liked it but not as much as others. Not as less as others too. Would think about getting again. — 3 years ago

Nice Malbec fruit — 6 years ago
Crushed velvety leaves from alpine flowers. A wondrous bouquet of a nose, and floral in the right way, not your grandmothers bathroom kind of a way.
Seemed fitting to picture this with our urban garlic harvest. As garlic take such a long time to mature, then even after picked, must be stored properly, to get the fullness of flavor.
Sweet blackberry tar is what this well crafted wine shows up front, subtle mint, eucalyptus, river stone. A perfect tango of tannins and acids, complete with the heel in the air - or maybe that’s my heel, enjoying this wine completely.
