@Tom Casagrande One of the group members has a very deep, old, and obscure Italian biased cellar. I think he told us the winery hasn't been in production for a few decades 🤔

Excellent vin. Au nez, il a cette cette odeur particulière que j’aime, probablement le cèdre. Très aromatique, complexe, épicé, poivre, légèrement café, fruits rouge à la fin. Mérite une bonne aération. SAQ cellier $18.75 — 5 years ago

CARO 2015 tiene un profundo color rojo rubí con tintes morados.

La nariz recuerda aromas de ciruela, eucalipto y pimienta, seguido por notas de café y frutos secos.

En boca, su envejecimiento en barricas de roble francés le da las sutiles notas de chocolate negro.

Evoluciona lentamente en la copa, revelando capa tras capa elegantes fragancias, y una sensación en boca única de complejidad excepcional. — 8 years ago

Cuvée 1996
La couleur brillante présente des reflets orangés. Le nez fait penser aux amandes grillées, puis aux olives noires.
En bouche, le vin rappelle l’effet sirupeux de la mélasse. Cuir, café, musclé. Encore très intéressant même en 2019. — 7 years ago

Louis Bovard

Salix Chenin St. Saphorin 2016

9.2

Color : White
Wine estate : Louis Bovard
Designation : Lavaux
Name : Salix - Chenin Blanc
Country : Switzerland
Vivino : 4.5/5
Note : Louis Bovard makes bio-dynamic culture and has introduced in the Lavaux new grape varieties such as Chenin Blanc. The name of Salix comes from the Latin word meaning the willow, with which one braided the branches to make baskets of vintage. A golden yellow straw robe with a nose of citrus, pineapple and mineral. Once in the mouth, the explosion of flavor with a nice acidity and a taste of citrus and apple. The final is excellent, it remains in the mouth and perfectly accompanied a fish.

Une robe dorée jaune paille avec un nez d’agrumes, ananas et minéral. Une fois en bouche, l’explosion de saveur avec une belle acidité et un goût d’agrumes et de pomme. Le final est excellent, il reste bien en bouche et accompagné parfaitement un poisson.

This '81 was amazing, and showed many facets through the evening.
The Préfert was really wonderful, the first time drinking Isabel's wines, delicious.

I fondly remember this wine. Had a couple of bottles in my dad’s cellar in the late 80’s. Some field mice got in and gnawed the top of the capsules off only two bottles in the cellar: both of the ‘81 Beaucastels! They knew. (They left the corks intact and the bottles were stellar.)

Tenuta San Leonardo

Terre di San Leonardo Vigneti delle Dolomiti Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

9.1

A mountainous region in Northern Italy; Alto Adige is influenced by German culture. Alto Adige is made up of two separate but similar regions: Alto Adige and Trentino. This wine blend is medium red with ruby highlights. The aromas hints are of rose and cherry. A cranberry-ish tinged finish is finely enhanced with smooth tannins. Excellent pairing with Beef short rib stew. — 5 years ago

Dark red/black cherry and blue fruit. Tarragon/liquorice floral character. Cracked black pepper. Whiff of Dr. Pepper. Smokey And smoked meatiness!! Ample but beautifully supple tannins. Complexity on the nose and palate. Medium length finish. Paired this with a bacon burger with cheese and caramelized onions. I want to live in my wine glass. Drank at Walnut Street Café in Philadelphia. — 8 years ago
