9.0

We are into the 10 year old wines this weekend. And as we are heading to Walla Walla, we thought to give this wine a try after it was been in my cellar for more than 10 years. And…. hmm, a bit disappointed. Had expected much more complexity, layers of flavored and endless finish. Nope. Nice wine though, smooth, balanced, great vibrancy but, yeah, still single note and I don’t think there is more to discover with aging. — 2 days ago

Highlight of the night! And a surprise to some degree. I kind off had given up on Lynch Bages. Given the high price, to me, the 2015 and 2016 were below expectation. But, boy, this 2018 rung all bells. Super concentrated, layers of evolving dark cherry, blueberry, current flavors and a superb balanced finish. All one could wish for. — 5 months ago

Enjoyed it immensely with our grilled ribeye steak! Perfect pairing. The steak elevates the wine significantly. Dark fruit with fully integrated smooth tannins in this 10 year old wine. It has this green pea, olive note to it that I presume comes from the Carmenere that I personally don’t care for too much. Very balanced, very present, smooth finish, decent complexity. — 2 days ago

Flavorful, punchy Chenin. Finish a bit off balance and stringent note. Winery in Hemel en Aarde region of South Africa. Higher elevation, further south, cool climate creating vibrant wines. — 3 months ago

Super intense wine. A bit off balance with bitter cherry notes overshadowing other fruit notes, mineral richness and subtle tannins that were hiding underneath it. — 5 months ago

Opulent. Super expressive, yet structured. Rich and vibrantly tickling your cheeks. And yes, might be the power of suggestion as it comes from the Apricot Block vineyard, but it does have stone fruit/nectarine/apricot note. Amazing wine. — 2 months ago

Hmm. Tried hard but just couldn’t get in sync with this wine. In other words, I didn’t like it 😅. I wanted to explore a Chardonnay from this region as compared to the other Burgundy regions to the north or Chablis but it didn’t get close. Not as vibrant. Off balance with a weird green note reminding me of a Viognier and limited finish. Yeah, not for me. At least not this bottle. But probably should judge the region by one bottle 😎. — 5 months ago

Our trusty Amarone from Guiseppe Campagnola. This one was 10 years old. Burst of flavors. Lacking some of the intense spice and tannin structure. — 5 months ago
