Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The wine pours a deep straw, bordering yellow color with medium+ viscosity and a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of raspberries, lemon, brioche, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose though the fruit seem rounder on the palate than on the nose. The finish is medium+. A fairly agreeable Champagne. Disgorged in October 2022. — 14 days ago

Brought this for Thanksgiving and drank it with dessert (apple and cherry pies); it stood up and complimented those sweet treats rather perfectly! Then, brought the remaining half-bottle home and enjoyed the smack-in-the-face of dark cherries on the first sip, followed by smoothed tannins from being open for a while. One of my favorite wines to sell and to drink! Always a crowd-pleaser, especially at the $30/bottle price! — 5 months ago

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, raisins, dried figs, alcohol, licorice, vanilla, cedar, cola, spices, milk chocolates, tobacco and peppercorn.

Full bodied, smooth and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.

On the palate black currants, cooked plums, sweet cherries, vanilla, spices, cedar, espresso, cola, light herbs, licorice, mocha and red chili pepper.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Shiraz from Australia. Big and bold, and somewhat sweet. Has a lot of acidity on the finish for all that fruit. Rich and extracted.

Very much "in your face" kind of wine, and not for the faint of heart. Feels very much like a Napa Syrah, with a teeth staining color.

Needs a couple hours to open up properly, which I didn't have, as it finished too quickly.

Needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly, and calm down a bit. Will be a 95+ wine in 10 years. Will age nicely in the next 15 years.

Wine Spectator 95 points. Robert Parker 96 points.

Good as a sipping wine, and good with food too. Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

16% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

So again I continue my yearly tradition of opening a bottle the day it arrives off the UPS truck. Delicious as always. This is the wine that got me hooked on wine. Always brings a smile to my face. Cheers to my delectable familia!!! 25 vintages and counting, still love it!! — a month ago

️ Toscana IGT Rosso (Tuscany, Italy)
✔️ 오르넬라이아의 철학을 반영한 레드 블렌딩 (메를로•까베르네쇼비뇽•산지오베제)
✔️ 오픈하자마자 젖은 흙•페퍼•오크•바닐라 향과 체리•블랙베리•플럼 향이 복합적인 레이어를 만듦
✔️ 오픈하고 1시간 뒤에 산미 섞인 향이 팡팡 터지기 때문에, 최소 30분~1시간 전에 미리 오픈하는걸 추천
✔️ 시간이 지날수록 정향•삼나무•버섯 향 섞인 미네랄리티가 잘 느껴지고, 질감도 더 부드러워짐
✔️ 적당한 산미, 약하지 않은 피니쉬, 시간이 지날수록 부드러워지는 질감까지! 가격 대비 넘 맘에 들었음
✔️ 산미 덕분에 이탈리아 음식과 페어링 하면 좋을 듯함
✔️ 3만원대 가격에 쟁여놓기 좋은 맛있는 와인

When I can almost see the weekend.

NV Pehu Simonet Face Nord Rosé Grand Cru is a 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay blend. Striking pale salmon color. This is Verezenay and Verzy Grand Cru fruit. This is delicious. Stunning acidity, laser focused finished. Beautiful dry champagne. Paired perfectly with Indian.

Because champagne is always a good idea.
