 Tasted by Lando78 on 4/6/2013: This is amazing right now, have opened up very much since I last tried it a few years ago! (2928 views)
 Tasted by Billy Swan on 8/2/2011: Lavender is sailing around on clouds of raspberry and plum, there's a touch of spice, garrigue. Mouthwise it's smooth, but the acidity and rich minerality gives this a serious grip. This is pure pleasure, coming at you in a creamy, rich but still relaxed style. Outstanding with food, outstanding on it's own. (4247 views)
 Tasted by Finare Vinare on 7/12/2011 & rated 91 points: Fine Amor delivers again. Ripe raspberry-plummy fruit with warm spicy notes, fresh food-friendly acidity, ironstone minerals, great grip. This time with porc chops on the grill. (4332 views)
 Tasted by Finare Vinare on 4/12/2011 & rated 91 points: Grenache and syrah. Epoxy tanks, never seen any wood. 14% alcohol. Pure drinking pleasure. (4507 views)
 Tasted by joshwoodward on 9/23/2010 & rated 90 points: Corks: Mediterranean (Rossford, OH): Cookie spice on the nose - cinnamon, clove, very interesting. Rich, sweet (15% alcohol). Slightly coarse texture. Creamy oak. Chocolate. Very new-world. (4959 views)
 Tasted by peblin on 11/22/2009 & rated 89 points: Initially very closed (decanted for 2 hrs). Opened up after 3-4 hrs to reveal pure Grenache fruit mixed with spicy Syrah notes. After a day in the bottle (refridgerated), the wine suddently decided to turn into something reminicent of a fairly burnt Pale Ale. How bizarre. (2338 views)
