Terra Malbec 2019

Forgot to photo-quite a hearty & bright Malbec from Israel, like a VERY distant cousin removed to Argentina . Crunchy & medium bodied, bright red fruits with cranberry red color, excellent good company to Middle Eastern fare with the locals (&family) at Neni restaurant, in Amsterdam. — 2 years ago

Cantina dei Produttori Carema

Carema Nebbiolo 2016

My ‘ house’ wine shared w friends & paired with baked Cod & Roquefort sauce, roasted vegetables, & barley. Pretty in color & on the palate: rusted rose hips, some distant forest floor. Medium plus acidity but enough to cut through the Roquefort sauce, & low enough tannins to not spar with the cod. — 3 years ago

Too distant for precise notes. Recall a nicely balanced and clean wine, with savory elements, good structure and supporting fruit. — 7 months ago

Domaine de Chevalier

Clos des Lunes Lune d'Argent Bordeaux Blanc Sec Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2018

Kinda forgot how white Bordeaux is a bit of a sleeper when it comes to summer whites. A bit sleeker & more crystalline than my top dog White Bordeaux, but still fresh white flowers, some marzipan, & distant cut grass. Heavier on Semillion blend, which is my preference. — 2 years ago

Casalino

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2018

Deep red color, almost purple. Very intense initial nose. Very heavy nail polish smell. Very focused scent, with a distant red fruit smell. Very earthy taste, with hints of cherries. Light sugar. (Interesting to note, I can a very quick seafood aftertaste, which was bizarre). — 8 months ago

Had the ‘10 just the other night. Even better the next day.

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2015

Crunchy black cherries and all kinds of berries, roses and lilacs, distant notes of smoke, granite rocks and sous-bois funk. Wonderful acidity, slightly dusty at the end. Very harmonious stuff, good stuffing and structure, I’d say this is drinking beautifully now, yet has the backbone to survive, or even improve, for 5 years at least.

On day 2: fruit turns more serious - deeper, darker - and savory notes enter the spectrum. Acidity melts into the wine, as well. Yum..!
Up a notch!
