Classic! Light bodied with robust cranberry and leather. Paired well with Beef duo AND shellfish risotto for our anniversary dinner. Yum! This wine should age splendidly! — 4 months ago

Очень вкусно! Сразу после открытия пьётся с удовольствием. Цвет вишнёвого сока. В аромате - та же вишня, шампиньоны, без серы, без дуба (почти без дуба), без лозы. Если не пробовать на вкус - прямо десертное вино. Допишу.
Вкус весьма хорош: плотный, при этом достаточно свежий, ягодный, слегка фруктовый, слегка танинный (после всех танинных вариантов, которыми я балуюсь), сбалансированный (не слишком сладко, не слишком кисло, всё в меру, лёгкая горчинка к месту).
В пустом бокале остаётся аромат джема на поджаренном багете.
Почитал отзывы, поправлю: пил (и пью, и буду пить) переохлаждённый сабж, поэтому и не сильно выпирает дуб, и поэтому не обязательно было декантировать. Выше +8..10°С не пил.
Добавлю по поводу декантации: в остатке кисловато, рекомендую не оставлять на завтра, пейте сразу ;) — 4 years ago

I must compliment Delectable’s computer vision algo here - such a blur photo and it took only a second to correctly identify the wine! For me, this was the better of the 2011 duo in our line-up. More complexity and purer, with intense black fruits lifted by a lick of VA. Not my kind of wine, but an interesting data point in our blind line-up. — 2 years ago

2009 Allemand Horizontal. I absolutely love Allemand’s wines. Always a seamless combination of both elegance and power. Both the Chaillot and Reynard showed perfectly, with the Reynard a bit more concentrated and deep than the Chaillot. Both wines had superb intensity, focus and a wonderful texture with the signature liquid rock, violets, herbs and cassis of Allemand Cornas. Fantastic duo. — 4 years ago

Earlier this week, a rep for Crown Point wines hosted a tasting to show off a few of their newer releases. New to me, they are out of Santa Barbara and have the duo of Adam Henkel (former assistant winemaker at Harlan for 8yrs) and Philippe Melka (who came on starting with the ‘15 vintage) making the wines.


This wine is their Estate Selection, which is 73% cab, 16% malbec and 11% merlot. I believe this was the first vintage for this wine. It sports a very soft profile and is made in a riper style. Aromatically it smells of baked boysenberry, fig and mixed berry pie with milk chocolate chips. The ABV is around 15.2% and it shows here. Extracted on the palate with chocolate covered dark fruits, baking spices, nutmeg and Andes mint. — 5 years ago
