Not matching up to the others tonight. The Hibiki’s are crushing. That said. Now trying in a highball and it is dominating over the Nikka in the Barrel — 4 years ago

8 years on This ganache, Syrah, cinsault and clairette blend has arrived. This is a big ripe wine but not over the top. A bit of acidity to encourage more sips. Just a bit of a sharp note on the finish mars the impact. Don’t usually fall for these wines anymore but this is ready for red meat dining — 8 years ago

I tried this right out of the bottle and was a little worried - super tight and one dimensional - but after two hours open it was singing and I was smiling. The nose has a more savory profile but the palate is full of bright red fruits with crushed gravel on the finish. Super smooth - the fruit and spice from the Grenache keeps the gaminess/savory flavors of the Syrah in check while the Mourvèdre adds richness. Helen Keplinger is a genius when it comes to these new world “old world blends” - I have yet to have one from her that hasn’t been fantastic. — 8 years ago

Things which are painfully underrated. One of New Zealand’s best bands, The Brunettes with their best record, Mars Loves Venus and a 2013 Collio Cab Franc. So many rocks to turn over in this world for great stuff. — 8 years ago

Slightly dry, high tannins, full bodied with an earthy nose. Mid pallet is the weakest part.

After decanting an hour, the mid pallet improves and the tannins come back into balance. — 9 years ago

The fruit and tannin, balanced, compressed with time into a delicious mystery. It was the most enjoyable Pom mars I’ve had. Too Tanic in youth, like St. George, a better Bourgogne to age. — 3 years ago

Quite nice. For the price. Say it once. Say it thrice. I drank this as I a) tried to avoid eating everything in my kitchen for the what-day-of-quarantine-are-we? day and b) tried to learn to appreciate Fiona Apple. I want to like her so much more but I feel she’ll be like Mars Volta. It’ll be an “okay I’ll let that shuffle choice play” until one day it hits and I’M IN. Maybe.
Ahem.
So lots of citrus and vanilla. Maybe some fake oak things I didn’t like up front but given time and air I appreciated the weight against the punchy greens and acid. Much as I’ll appreciate the slow cords against Fiona’s spoken-word-esque lyrics someday maybe.
But in all truth yeah I like this wine. It coats the mouth and ballasts they soul and has a lot going on for the price. And takes a minute to appreciate but it’s good for an evening. — 6 years ago

This wine was delicious--light, acidic, a little gravelly and meaty. Bought at La Buvette, paired perfectly with singing La Marseillaise on the Champs de Mars on Bastille Day. — 9 years ago
