Cepparello Estate Bottled Toscana Sangiovese 2016

Bob McDonald
9.5

Menthol, mint , earth and savoury red fruits. Medium bodied palate - coats the mouth. From the fabulous 2016 vintage in Tuscany and it shows. Anyone who knows the region knows that this vintage was one of the best in recent times. — a day ago

Elegant wine from La Morra with taste of raspberries, dried cherries, black tea.
Ripe but not the greatest Barolo I had.

Blend of 70% old Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, 5% other allowed varieties, aged for 3 years, deep inky red color with aromas of ripe berry fruits and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of black raspberry and blackberry with cedar, cacao and earth notes, vivid acidity nice structure. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and spice character.

50th. Excellent if a bit boring. Lacked energy and fell a bit flat. Nice but 22 Buffet Chenes blew it away. — a day ago

Not modern. This is about as traditional as they come. Long macerations and aged in Slavonian botti grandi.

That is how it is made but not how it tastes. Very light modern barollo not one that needs 10 to 15 years to be appreciated.

I’m not sure what you mean by that. The “light” aspect you describe is the style of G. Mascarello and they need forever to flesh out. In a year like 2019, they will need forever, forever. Again, nothing modern about it. Not the winemaking. Not the style.

La Turque Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2011

LM Segal
9.6

Fragrant and red-fruit-driven nose shouting clarity of purpose led a crisp, somewhat linear palate of nicely delineated red and black fruit, black tea, asian spice. After a while in the glass secondary notes emerged of strawberry and even lilac. Great now but miles from peak with delightful acidity still driving the palate. Outstanding. — a month ago

2017 vintage. Not much on the nose currently. PNP'd. Medium body. Darker fruit (plum, cherry, blackberry) with the corresponding musculature. Some tannins but mostly dispersed to the peripheries at the moment. Needs a few years/hours open but showing nicely for a less than "A" vintage. 10.22.24. — a month ago
