Drank this with the family & it was the perfect pairing accompanied with turkey veggie lasagna! An uncomplicated fresh Sardinian alchemy to share along with imbibe! — a day ago

Suppose you dissolved Werthers candies in bourbon then added a dash of coffee and...made it somehow richer without being cloying. It’s the alchemy of fractional blending in solera of used Sherry barrels sweet babies. I love Sherry de Jerez, it is great fun. It goes the distance. — 5 years ago

Really good minerals, first thing. Aromatic, but limited, like really honeyed sprite. Smells almost like an aged spatlese. Looks lightweight but has a slightly heavier body than appears, like gasoline does. Don’t get this confused with petrol taste, but the weight has that alchemy. Unlike Riesling it has a bitter and spicy phenolic note at the end that seems to come with more southern whites. Middle weight in reality. Good heavy orchard fruit. I like fiano and I’m still learning it’s limits. Every once and awhile I find a great one, but I want to learn what the typicality is. — 6 years ago

One of my all-time favorite wines. Insane value for $20...2012 is drinking amazing. Still lots of candied cherries but the fruit is so closely integrated with the tobacco, oak, tannins, acid. Holding on to the rest but plan to check in once a year- what an amazing wine. — 8 years ago

Pink grapefruit wild cherry, coffee, smoke, eucalyptus, wildflowers, underbrush touch of licorice and cardamom coupled with herbal, saline and bitter almond highlights… Simply wonderful and unique creation: intriguing, delicious and fascinating it will not leave anyone indifferent… Suertes del Marques are making some of the best wines in the world right now ! Period !! … This is alchemy !! — 4 years ago

Young Nebbiolo!!! Yesssss. This worked. Tannins in check, bright fruit, moderate acidity. What’s the magic? Hope it’s not alchemy in the cellar. — 6 years ago

Magnificent, full bodied, plush, decadent Aussie personalisation of a 'Super Tuscan' Cab Shiraz blend. Crafted by master winemaker Andrew Seppelt through Brett Hayes' pioneering newish kid off the block 'Hayes Family Wines'. Don't be fooled by the youth of Brett's venture, these wines display a history and heritage steeped in barossas's finest terroir, knowledge and nous. These are grapes from Barossa's hallowed Ebeneezer dirt, and Shultz vineyard dirt at that. But it's Andrew's knack for oeniological alchemy that extracts the finest from the blend, making a wine that is so plush, rounded and powerful it feels like donning your red velvet smoking jacket and sinking into a soft armchair in your best old slippers.
The only disappointing thing about this wine is that, in my humble opinion, it really needs a good 8-10 years of cellaring to reach its full potential. Have one now to enjoy it's youthful vibrancy and stash the rest of you can leave it alone!
I hear that this will be the only vintage blending both grapes from Barossa soil, so grab this unique vintage while you can. I believe future vintages with be Barossa Shiraz and Coonawarra Cab Sauv. The Aussie finest bride and groom upbringing of this pair. I can't wait to see what the future holds.

Delicious and complex flavors. Unfolds magically with an alchemy of earth and fruit-raspberry and hints of clove, sage and a touch of licorice at first sip. Highly recommend. Not your usual jam only Pinot. — 6 years ago

Green bell pepper nose. Peppery blueberry spice mouth. Nice body.
After naturally aerating, TAR demoinates the nose, followed by tastes of green pepper, raspberry and leather. Incredible the changes that this wine undergoes with just a bit of exposure.
Pair with mole sauce and Spanish inspired cuisine, but nothing overly spicy on the heat scale. — 8 years ago
