Ceccherini Cristiano

Magnum
I've always wanted to taste an old malbec from them
Still embarrassingly young and fresh
Kaleidoscopic nose
Hard to describe mouthful
We start with eucalyptus, then berries of any kind, from raspberry to blueberries or blackcurrant
Leather, cinnamon, star anise, soya, graphite, gunpowder, coriander, curry
Neverending
Intensity, vibrancy and length
I honestly am so bloody curious to see this in decades
I keep thinking of Bordeaux when I drink Wendouree maybe cause they freeze the time
It starts the hunt for more — 7 days ago

Huge identity
Supertuscan from Castelnuovo Berardenga made with only sangiovese
Earthy, irony, floral
Depth and softness
At peak I'd say
2006 is a spectacular vintage a bit everywhere in Italy — 15 days ago

This is close to perfection
Fairly big body not huge, but driven by an agility, suppleness, drinkability tremendously out of the ordinary
I have had other vintages and I must admit 2012 is arguably the best or close second to the 98.
Statement :I love Clare Valley shiraz, it is surely the most Rhone like 100% shiraz, for the big bold body u need to add malbec or mataro. Almost flawless
Silky tannin and long — 16 days ago

This is the real stuff to look for here down under, never been disappointed by these relatively old vintage port(I know we kind of shouldn't call them port, but that's what's on the label)
1971 is an extremely well reviewed year too
I hope to find few more bottles of this magic potion so that I can share it with friends.. yeah😔, I had to drink this one in my own — 8 days ago

At peak, I would not wait any longer
Lots of flavor, personality and complexity
Long and aristocratic
I must admit I wasn't too impressed with this bottle though — 16 days ago

9.5

An excellent Brunello
Complex, vibrant, easy drinking, it will keep for long, but it's already on fire
An explosion when you swallow it
My style of wine
Between the few producers always worth to give it a go in Montalcino — 18 days ago

I like the drinkability, but we can't talk about a refined wine here. — 14 days ago

After the Fontalloro
I would say better, more elegant
Still young, cherry, rose, camphor, a bit of talc powder.
Very long and I reckon not at peak yet — 15 days ago

Ceccherini Cristiano

9.2

Very composed, young and fresh
Silky tannin
Quite old world style
Raspberry, irony and pretty floral
Already enjoyable — 16 days ago

I reckon if we look at the price range I should rate this wine higher being just over 25 bucks.
However this is very good no matter what
Juicy, vibrant, it has flesh and depth
Luke Lambert rocks
Apparently he says 2018 is the best crudo shiraz he has made so far — 20 days ago
