Domaine de Marquiliani Île de Beauté

We thought this wine creative, interesting and not your typical blend. Corsican wines can be so very varied, and this one comes through with its lovely fruits, acid, and relatively light body. It has a deceptively dark, luscious color for a wine of this body. Nice structure—a great food wine. Amazing QPR. We would definitely buy it again! Decant for an hour for best results.

Tasty island riff on GSM. Substantial enough for him but approachable enough for her. I guess there are unfiltered wines and *unfiltered* wines and this must be among the latter: I found a Corsican fly at the bottom of one of my bottles. I thought this was awesome. Your mileage may vary.

Tasted over 2 hrs and day 2 -slightly murky med dark red purple -almost non-existent nose faint stony dark berry; a little black pepper on day 2 -low acidity, med/med- weight faint unidimensional earthy berry, fine-grained med- tannins; picks up a little depth and tannic structure on day 2 -interesting how this has the (relatively) ethereal qualities of their rosé but not the flavor intensity, pleasant just not much there

Fun wine that has a strong taste of creamed strawberries. Definitely a pleasing red for a friend that doesn’t think they like red wine.

Tasted over 2 hrs -med dark red with a purple tinge -juicy boysenberry raspberry black pepper and a bit floral -med- acidity, med/med- weight simple tasty dark berry fruit juicy grapey, med- tannins -pleasant fruit driven lighter weight quaffer what it lacks in structure and complexity it makes up for in unabashed joy, has evolved over the last year

Blend of Syrah, Grenache and the native Corsican grape Sciaccarellu. Bright fresh red fruit. Medium bodied, medium - tannins. Pretty drinkable and simple.

Very dark color but not too think - certainly a Kermit wine. Not showing much on the nose or palate, but I was also drinking out of a tumbler.
