Château Val D&
Brewer-Clifton
3-D Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2021
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
Château d`issan
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
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! — 9 days ago
Bodegas y Viñedos Gancedo
Capricho Val de Paxarinas Bierzo Godello 2023
Im offenausschank und vorher noch auf delectable gecheckt. Bei den noten dachte ich erst dass es nicht ganz der gleiche wein von diesem produzenten sein kann. Nach dem zweiten schluck allerdings schon! Wow! Einfach wow! Feinfruchtig, weisse blüten, birnen, etwas minze, im gaumen weich, rund, südfrüchtig mit leichter mineralität. Hut ab! — 3 months ago

Val di Suga (Angelini)
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 1997
At almost 30y this is still very much alive & kicking!
Starts off a bit dusty & musky but then the fruit emerges - dried cherries, tomato leaf, surprisingly fresh!
Beautifully poised & elegant on the palate, the tannins completely evolved, mellowed, the acidity still fresh & bright.
This is brilliant, and so delicious right now. — 17 days ago

Dark Ruby color with aromas of berry fruit with earthy spice tones. On the palate cherry and blackberry flavors with pepper spice, tobacco and cacao on fine dusty tannins. Medium+ finish, nice mouthfeel, ending with fruit and an oak mineral character. — 3 months ago
