My first Armenian wine. Made with Haghtanak grape, a Soviet-era hybrid between Armenian varietals and Georgian Saperavi. From vineyards in the Ararat Valley, 35 km west of Yerevan. Fermented in steel tanks and aged 7 months in Caucasian oak barrels. Dark ruby/purple color. Dark fruit, vanilla and oak on the nose. Some herbal notes. Full-bodied, big, quite bold and round on the palate. Pomegranate flavors. Tannic. Good value — 2 months ago

Showing inflections of brett, which is indicative to the era in Bordeaux, in general. Otherwise, classic example. — 5 months ago

Not a great vintage at Fritz Haag, but that doesn’t mean you don’t still get excellent wine. I’ve heard FH vintages of this era incorporate a lot of very young replanted vines. Perhaps that’s the issue. At 28 years there’s not much sweetness left, but, there’s sufficient delicacy, finesse, and nuance, to pull it through precisely with conviction. — 6 months ago

Perhaps the last great vintage of the Pierre Morey era, 2004 shows its expected reduction but with so much more to offer. After a short time in the decanter it sings flaunting a floral freshness, lemon curd, honeysuckle and smoky minerals. The palate has amazing tension and purity with piercing citrusy acids and an incredibly persistent finish. Totally in the zone! — 2 months ago

14.5% essentially a California fruit bomb in French clothing. They are really loosing it the French. Cherry over the top. May be this will loose its fruit over time. Now I am not impressed especially vis-a-vis the 2019 Liaison Enderle & Moll. May be this had to be done with the high taxes imposed in the Trump era. — 3 months ago

Questo e’ molto popolare di mia moglie. Significa che e’ molto buono. Sarebbe il nature metodo, lei l’ha sentito. Era il sconto a Astor Wines, mi piace che l’ho preso con il prezzo basso. Quando lo trovo, lo prendo. — 7 months ago

Si conferma come nelle bottiglie precedenti, una tendenza a cambiare molto da bottiglia a bottiglia, sempre stesse annate. Questa volta era leggermente sull’osssidato è un sentore leggero di tappo. Anche il colore era meno vivace e più spento, già sul granato aranciato. — 6 months ago
