More advanced than other 97’s I’ve had. Still grit with flowers. Always get a touch of Cognac from the mid 90’s BV Tapestry’s. Less on the 97. Beautiful, ripe, foral fruits with spice, barrel toast with evolution & integration. Incredible structure, balance. Violets for days. Still has 5-8 years.
This bottle on auction are more advanced than my bottles or others bought at auction. This is just around it’s precipice where other bottles I’ve had required more time. Another 8 years. This is more within 3 years. I would add that a 1997 94 points rating greatly over shadows a young(ish) vintage of the same. Just gets better and better with each sip.
1997 the vintage of our modern times. This wine was about $25 on release, give or take. Today, it drinks like a $100 plus bottle of Napa Cabernet. — 3 years ago
Delicious red wine, smooth and fruity. — 5 years ago
Honestly, I was thinking a red blend from Portugal?! Very skeptic but this blend is actually quite nice. Hints of blue and boysenberry on the nose but on the palate it’s a complex and richer, deeper red taste like blackberries and a bit of rhubarb; slightly acidic. Super cheap but doesn’t taste cheap. — 5 years ago

Quem disse que vinho rosê não era para mim? Vinho super leve e ótimo para tomar em uma manhã leve — 6 years ago
Vinho muito bom. Vermelho vivo, sem muito corpo. Cheiro mistura frutas com madeira, dando uma característica bem leve. O que chama a atenção é ser um vinho rápido, seu gosto envolve a boca e some rapidamente. Em alguns momentos conseguimos sentir longe um tatino já um tanto macio. Com massa casa bem com sabores delicados. — 7 years ago
Firm cinsault with strawberry and foral nose. Good tannins to make it a good cinsault. — 8 years ago
13.7% ABV Dark in color, still has foral aromatics, really good! — 2 years ago
Colorful and vibrant in the nose. Superb consistency. Fruity and foral taste. Gentle finish. — 2 years ago
Passion fruit and lemon. Mildly acidic with a hint of oak. — 4 years ago
Dense black plum and cherry fruit aromas that took time to appear. Initially, the nose was dominated by the scent of rubber tires. Same dark fruit flavors but they seemed a bit muted and flat. Juicy acidity comes through on the finish. Might be a bit past its prime. — 5 years ago
Bone dry Italian white I got from Wine Access. This wine is so foral on the nose and goes great with cheese. Perfect wine to start the evening. — 6 years ago
16.5/20 (90/100) Вину требуется аэрация, лишь после этого оно раскрывается ароматами кожи, кофе, чернослива, копченостей, гвоздики и лежалых яблок. Умеренная кислотность, мягкие, не интенсивные танины. Приятное, зрелое вино. — 8 years ago
Gorgeous nose of; lightly spiced,foral; ripe candied fruits. Bright floral bouquets of red flowers and violets with just a touch of herbaceousiness.
The body is full. Tannins are thick & meaty. Ripe light and dark red fruits. Brilliant acidity. Round polished finish.
More photos of two foolish field working picking at a much slower pace than the rest of the team and the Truquilemu Vineyard we picked Sunday. — 8 years ago

Green apple, honeysuckle and citrus. So floral. Great acidity. Mouthful of flavor. Terrific wine. — 3 months ago
