Catch Cry

Château Sociando-Mallet

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

2020 vintage. Last tasted 7.7.24 (9.3) and 3.15.24 (9.2). Medium-heavy body. Previously hesitant and reticent tannins beginning to creep into the finish right off the bat. Starts off fairly fruity, then tapers that down a bit at the end. Harmonious and über-pleasant. PNP now, double park it for a ten-spot or investigate somewhere in between. Consider the invitation proffered. Haut-Médoc doesn't move the needle at work (wish it did) but always more than happy to crush this Bordeaux bestie off premise. Consistent catch-all producer with "that's all?!" pricing. 12.03.24. — 25 days ago

Yep know about this producer. Given my limited time/opportunity to drink wine switched quite some time over to drink mostly Pinot for the reds.

Although for steak 🥩 Bordeaux Cabs are still the place to go.

Valeirano Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2015

Dried cherry, leather, sandalwood, caramel, faint potpourri notes on the nose. Maroon fading to brick red on edges of the glass, medium light body, more earthy & savory on the palate, nice frame of medium acidity ending with robust mouth-coating tannins but still a far cry from a young Barolo. I’m experiencing why #barbaresco is such a food friendly wine - set off so well with herby Porchetta and cremini mushroom creamy pasta. — 4 years ago

Château d'Esclans

Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2018

Smooth, mellow and refreshing. Local store had it for $14.50. A far cry from the restaurant bottle price of $65!they wanted the night before! Good with roasted sweet potatoes. — 6 years ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tenuta Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017

Boysenberry, moss, black cherry, dark red plum, elderberry. A blend with a delightful personality, gentle, sweet, but a little bite that will catch you off-guard. — 4 years ago

Pietranera

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2004

Tight, light and bright! Once you get the cork removed (without a doubt the most difficult cork I have ever encountered), the first mouthful is obviously a reminder this wine needs air, some time to breathe and patience to encounter the full dimensions of its beauty. While feeling light in the mouth, the flavors catch up and explode starting with the tongue and moving back to the throat. All of the expected and anticipated Brunello characteristics are present in varying degrees but this wine needs a few more years in the bottle to be at its peak. — 4 years ago

Pettenthal Großes Gewächs Riesling 2018

Almost Riesling perfection on the nose with smokey flintiness. The palate needs ca. 5 years to catch up though with a slight acidity bringing it off course and balance. Another impressive wine from this producer. Went amazing with smoked salmon and oatcakes! — 3 years ago
