Baked apple aromas up front with some slight vanilla, leading to flavours of green apple and pear (no malolactic here!). Lingering citrus at the end, works great with steamed clams. — 6 years ago

Picked this up from local Alko as my Kopkes ended up lost somewhere on their way. This has quite broad array of licorice, smoke, oak and various red and dark berries flowing through both nose and palate. It's quite dense but manages to stay away from being cloying. Taste ends eith nutty and raspberry notes. This works great with various chocolate desserts when slightly cooled to freshen up the mouthfeel. We had this with chocolate cheese cake that ended our Christmas dinner. — 4 years ago

Nose of apple and cherry, white cherry and apricot on the palate with a finish of vanilla and hazelnut liqueur. Sweetness cut by the acid. — 8 years ago

A spectacular wine, bursting from the glass and fully clearing out my slightly blocked nasal passages this weekend with gorgeous aromas of black fruit - deep but oh-so-fresh - along with kirsch liqueur, cranberry, a hint of mint and cedar. Truth be told, it has a character reminiscent of the Médoc, and I later read it has a small amount of Cabernet in the blend.

The palate is a show-stopper, sporting an array of very ripe but fresh blackcurrant, freshly squeezed cherries, and blueberry. It’s robust, but very harmonious with an abundance of acidity and tannin. It has an almost Port-like density, but it works. Sublime stuff. Why, oh why, did I only buy two bottles of this? It was £6 in bond, released by the winery last year under peculiar circumstances that I can’t remember. I should’ve bought a truck-load.

Everything about this wine screams uncool in our industry in the present era: high alcohol (14%), heavy extraction, generous use of new oak (presumably), ripe + chewy tannins, flavors that shout rather than whisper and high praise from Robert Parker (cue Elaine or Carlton Banks’ dance moves). Maybe it’s my 90’s nostalgia or maybe I’ve been drinking too much vintage port these days 🤷🏻‍♀️ but it all works beautifully here: intense aromas of licorice, pepper, cedar, black plum, wet tar, dried tobacco, cranberries, cassis, dried violets. And this is only the beginning... A blast of macerated red and black berries on the palate, held together by a solid acid backbone, followed by a long finish laced with black olive, dried tobacco, mocha and mineral. Hedonistic. Three cheers for Alicante Bouschet! — 4 years ago
