Arnaldo Rivera
Undicicomuni Barolo Nebbiolo 2013
Pleasant nose that meshes cherry fruit and wet leaves. Cherry, licorice and tobacco on the pallet. Soft tannins. A bit of an “alcohol bite” on the finish. — 4 days ago
Louis Latour
Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 2016
White Burgundy featuring Lemon/Lime and Pear notes. Oak on the finish. Lots of minerality and acidity. — 4 days ago
Bodegas Mano a Mano
Ribota Vino de la Tierra de Castilla Tempranillo 2009
Aromas of earth, Menthol and, believe it or not, black beans! Very “hot” on the pallet, as the alcohol obliterates most all other flavors. (Except the black beans) Minty and smokey very long finish. Not a supper. Need to drink this one with food. — 6 days ago
Château Arnauton
Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2014
Pretty nice budget Right Bank Bordeaux. Very nice cherry, vanilla and oak graphite aromas. Black cherry and tobacco flavors. Powerfully elegant but with some tannin. Pretty good. — 4 days ago
Louis Latour
En Chevret Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2015
Bright and elegant Red Burgundy. Dark cherry and plum aromas and flavors. Nose is quite pleasant. Hints of oak and Forrest Floor on the finish. A little hot, but that should dissipate with bottle age. — 4 days ago
Louis Latour
Morgeot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013
Nice and easy drinking white Burgundy. Caramel, apple and honey notes. Flinty minerality on the finish. Lightly Oaked. — 4 days ago
Fattoria La Leccaia
Fattoria La Leccaia Sant'Antimo Rosso Tuscany Italy 2015
Aromas of plum and motor oil. (Not very pleasant). Flavors of prunes and black licorice. Extremely hot wine. Very chewy and astringent on the finish. This is an “aggressive” wine. Not a favorite. — 4 days ago
Louis Latour
Nuits St. Georges Pinot Noir 2015
Red Burgundy with hints of earth and tobacco smoke on the nose. Lots of red berries with a bit of graphite on the pallet. Long finish. Still a little “hot.” Needs a bit more bottle age. — 4 days ago
Terredavino
Villata Roero Arneis 2015
Crisp white that has a bit of honeysuckle on the nose. Honeydew melon, pears and minerals on the pallet. Lots of acidity on the finish. Better with food. — 5 days ago
Ray Vanderhoff
Nice “meaty” nose. Fully extracted. Prunes, raisins and minerals on the pallet, but they are pretty well integrated. A bit young, but will most likely calm down with time. — 4 days ago
