Amazing freshness with the 20+ age, spicy nose, pure minerality.
Hints of beeswax, shy quince, salty rocks, the purity here is just insane.
On the palate this hits with brilliant acidity (not far from Fino!), paired with spicy minerality and barely a hint of apples sprinkled with fleur de sel. Great depth and amazing electric tension.
This is brilliant! I am blown away. Wowza! — 6 months ago

Bouteille orpheline exposée dans la vitrine du restaurant le Pied de cochon à Montréal, transformé temporairement, pandémie oblige, en pizzeria/caviste. Une fois les formalités d'adoption complétées, ce rosé n'a pas eu à patienter longtemps avant de rencontrer la vrille. On est loin ici du rosé de canicule. Sérieux, séveux, avec un profil aromatique assez unique et difficilement descriptible. On y trouve un petit fruit rouge, mais en mode mineur. La courte finale nous empêche d'exagérer la notation, mais ne gâche en rien l'expérience. Beau hasard! — 6 years ago

Like many Valle d’Aoste single grape wines, the color is part of the enjoyment. Purple-red in the glass, with aromas of pepper and vanilla. Low acidity, but with very high tannins, and red berry flavors. Wonderful! — 6 years ago

First taste of this one. Very enjoyable form picking up the hefty bottle (Orin Swift Papillon type heft) to the pleasing finish. — 7 years ago

Absolutely beautiful red. We drank this with some cheese, would also go beautifully with meat and even on its own. No harsh tannins and such a smooth wine. Can't wait to have more. Very subtle barossa wine. — 7 years ago

The pro reviewer has it right: if you like Papillon you should seek out Aftermath. This 2014 might have been a wee bit past, or before, its prime: smooth; paired well with filet; but without the “kick” that would prompt me to rate it higher. I will go get a newer vintage and wait… — 3 months ago

The label is, as usual, original. It's my fourth wine from Orin Swift Cellars (after "Abstract", "Papillon" and "Palermo"). And it's fantastic.

it is a blend of petite syrah, syrah and grenache. Ink color. The nose is full of fruity aromas: a plum, a blackberry and a blackcurrant and sweet liqueur aromas. Also the palate. But there you can also find a leather and a cocoa. Pleasant acidic finale reduces sweetness and closes this wine. — 6 years ago

The big bad expensive Jericho Canyon now available in GA!!! This their 2013 Cab. At almost 200 a bottle I am a bit disappointed. If it were 75 dollars Id give it a 9.2. Its 14.9% acl/vol. Big dark fruit up front and a bit or orange peal on the mid palate. The fish is pretty dry and oaky. Its a great wine for a wealthy palate. I prefer a good Orin Swift Papillon!!!!! — 8 years ago
