So exotic and refined. Such an outstanding example of Sonoma chard. One of the few wineries where I’m on the list and happily purchase. See prior notes for additional details. — a month ago

Like a polished river stone, dense and softly textured yet durable. — a year ago

Deep ruby. Nose was a blast of dark berries. Very complex. Cassis, blackberry, sl earth, vanilla on the palate. Nice acidity. Very smooth with long finish. This is a really great Bordeaux from a 13th century vineyard. — 2 years ago

Very elegant and supple. It is a restrained wine but still very new world. Velvety and rich. Abundant fruit but presented in a controlled manner. — 4 months ago

At a different Mini India location tonight trying out the same wine we had at a different Mini India restaurant. Prefer this over their house red that is a few Euros less. — a year ago

Praleum w SL. Disappointing. Remained closed throughout the night. Left 1/4 of the magnum bottle on the table. Suspect not ready to drink.

The profound 1996 Barolo Capalot Riserva boasts a dense, ruby/purple color, and a pure nose of black cherries, raspberries, and blackberries. Layered and multidimensional, with a sweet mid-palate and a blockbuster finish, this is an immense, full throttle Barolo that should age effortlessly for 15-25 years. Impressive! — 2 years ago

Praleum w SL. Smoky and mineral. Complex. Longish finish. WOTD. Shaded the 82 Margaux.

The profound 1988 Brunello di Montalcino boasts a huge nose of black-cherries and spice box aromas intermingled with scents of wood, smoke, herbs, and cedar, full body, an unctuous, voluptuous texture, great concentration, and surprisingly low acidity. Poggio Antico's 1988 has tamed the vintage's toughness, producing a decadent, hedonistic Brunello that should drink well now and over the next 12-15 years. One of Brunello di Montalcino's emerging stars, Poggio Antico continues to produce some impressive Brunellos. 1988, RP94, issue date 1994 — 2 years ago

Very dry with a minerality on the nose with notes of peach and slight petrol. Long, dry finish with more minerality with peach and green apple. — 3 years ago
