@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego, a new (producer) name for me?? I know I’m not as “up” on Cote Rotie as 15-20 years ago.

'Arcane Le Fou' Red Rhone Blend

Mostly Grenache from 100 year old vines (and mostly from Châteauneuf-du-Pape) this is a blend of five vintages between 2010 and 2017. Medium Ruby, wonderful red fruit and garrigue on the nose with wild strawberry, raspberry, red currant, black cherry, earth, lavender, forest floor and leather. Elegant smooth tannins, long finish. Wonderful wine — 9 months ago

Arcane XIX Le Soleil Grenache Blend

Vintage 2015 | morello cherries in smell, for me always a hint to Syrah. Juicy, good balance. The swallow factor while tasting… Very good. — 2 months ago

Quinta de Lemos

Dona Santana Touriga Nacional Blend 2008

Very tasty aged Portuguese red. If I had it blind, I would guess Northern Spanish - Ribera del Duero or Rioja. Smooth and slightly musty/earthy from the age (got some cork crumbles). Opens pretty quickly, with concentrated red fruit and some blackberry. Pleasant tannic grip with a soft texture. Bold flavor throughout, big body (14.5% abv), some pepper and dry grass on a savory finish. Nice for a reasonable price. — 10 months ago
