Super clean Fiano-Arneis blend, some rich honeyed notes but they only add further complexity, long, lingering finish, very nice!! — an hour ago

Still very youthful color, medium-rich smoky, meaty aromas and flavors, long finish, these “Domaine de Thalabert” wines always seem to age particularly well in my experience, really an incredible Crozes!! — 6 days ago

[Delectable — this is the “2022 Jedlicka Rodinne Vinarstyi Dornfelder”] This lovely Czech Moravian blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot smells and tastes like a young Cab-Merlot blend from virtually anywhere, medium-bodied, some tannins, medium-long finish, could use 3-5 years of further aging, but would be good now with a nice steak or some nice runny blue cheese.

[Delectable — This is the “Templarske Sklepy Cejkovice, Cabernet Sauvignon”.] Medium purple color, shows new oak and some dark-fruited Cabernet aromas and flavors, good balance, a little more depth and length than last night’s Pinot Noir, pretty decent. — 10 days ago

Smells like Chardonnay, but pretty light and lacking depth, though otherwise clean and correct. — 15 days ago
