Pierre Gonon
Saint-Joseph Syrah 2013
I’m really hoping this is in a difficult stage. Much richer than I was anticipating. Lacked the energy to carry everything through the finish which was short. The flavor profile and aromatics were very northern Rhône though. — 3 months ago
Zarate
Balado Rías Baixas Albariño 2019
Fabulous Albariño. Old vines on their own rootstock. Tremendous concentration, energy and tension. Pithy citrus. Well balanced. — 4 months ago
Parussa Giuseppe
Roero Nebbiolo 2017
Good. A little hot. — 2 months ago
Domaine Vacheron
Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Richer style with possible RS. Very good but is a little out of balance. Acid too low and alcohol too high. Otherwise the Sancerre fruit profile was there. — 3 months ago
Azienda Vitivinicola Nervi
Conterno Il rosato Nebbiolo 2019
Owner and founder of C. T. Bucklin Wine Advising
Fresh strawberries and earthy. Tannin is felt. — 4 months ago
Comm. G.B. Burlotto
Verduno Pelaverga 2019
Owner and founder of C. T. Bucklin Wine Advising
A let down after the brilliant 2018 but this wine is just so good and a tremendous value. Paler with less perfume and body than 2018 but still vibrant and full of blood orange and pepper. — 4 months ago
Château La Croix Chantecaille
Saint Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2016
Extremely quaffable! Balanced and well made. Plump dark fruit, fine structure, not too complex but correct. — 3 months ago
Podere Poggio Scalette
Il Carbonaione Alta Valle della Greve IGT Sangiovese 2015
Opaque. New oak and lush fruit on day one and two. The fruit and oak faded into the background on day three but it gained some austerity and lost some energy. Very tasty but not really a style I enjoy. — 3 months ago
Mongeard-Mugneret
Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2016
Better on day two. Acidic and lean but very pretty. Good Bourgogne but nothing exciting. — 4 months ago
