Riserva 2011 Baron’ Ugo Monteraponi Chianti Classico, better 2017-2019 — 4 days ago
Beautiful nose on this, remembering why I bought this while in the tasting room in Sta. Rita Hills (nice little spot in Los Olivos, highly recommend). Med+ intensity on the nose with bright cherry and strawberry. A bit of cedar/vanilla, but not much. Floral notes that almost turn to candy or runts. Nice on the palate too with a big pop of red fruit, med+ acidity and nice fine, integrated tannins. Long finish that sort of turns from sweet to tart cherry. Just a really nice wine. I scored a 93 but guessing this will improve and become a bit more elegant with a few more years. — 2 months ago
Great wine combining southern burgundy richness, use of luxurious oak, great acidity and low alc levels. Wonder how this ages.. Tx @Jan A for pointing this one out!. — 12 days ago
Oof. This is exceptional. Intense ripe fruit. Rich and textured. Great balance — a month ago

After 10 years in the bottle, a decidedly savory second wine from this storied Second Growth château. Meaty, almost Northern Rhône character after uncorking. After a day in wine fridge the charcuterie notes ease a bit, blackberry, stewed cassis start to edge forward, classic #pauillac graphite and mineral notes that carry through on palate. Lovely tension on the palate and persistent fine tannins through the finish. — 2 days ago
Deliciously smooth and creamy, pairs perfectly with comte — 3 days ago
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, bitter herbs, spices, light vegetables and black tea.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 5 year old GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is elegant and nicely balanced. Not as big as I expected it to be.
Complex, soft and elegant. Precise and inviting.
Robert Parker 92 points. Wine Spectator 94 points.
Easy drinking now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.
A blend of 45% Grenache, 45% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.

Powerful wine representative of Margaux - graphite, vanilla, smoke, and dark red and black fruit. Still showing plenty of tannic structure. Lots of cellar life remains for this vintage! — 6 minutes ago
