Tropics wine continued: at a San Juan natural wine restaurant. Cheverny maker. Tangerine peel, almond paste, semi ripe mango notes; rounded palate & quite good overall. — 4 days ago

I adore this woman maker in the Dolomites, but my friends felt this white blend too suave for the setting (San Juan, PR) — 5 days ago

A young buck maker in Piedmont. Popped & poured, a bit simpler than I expected, fresh & vibrant with black cherry & wild raspberries. A few more bottles to compare but I’ll decant next time. — 25 days ago

Tropics wine (cont): supermarket wine, hard to believe I was the last Delectable reviewer. Less purple than memory serves, & rather constrained given the Ribera source — 3 days ago

Our server knew we were risk takers but this may have been one risk too far. Canary Isle red which was way way too weird: medicinal, paint thinner, tree bark, baked tomatoes. At times easy to wonder if a bad bottle. Other times just odd, & most definitely the oddest Canary red I’ve ever had. Had at a San Juan, PR restaurant — 5 days ago

9.2

Vibrant Dark red fruits on nose, dark black/red tints; on palate elegant & smooth mouthfeel, with the black currants, cassis, & crushed dark red cherries all prominent. If I’m reading the previous notes properly this vintage appears to be heftier than others— no lightweight by any means. Delicious, with the asterisk of this lies on the refined side of Beaujolais making. Alcohol 13.5% — 25 days ago
