Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Fruit comes from the Sierra Madre and Peake Ranch vineyards. Medium lemon color with aromas of white flesh fruits and spicy notes. On the palate, flavors of apple and pineapple with slight citrus notes spice and lively acidity. Medium finish ending with fruit and spice. — 5 days ago

This time around, I have to assign a slight decrement as it just is a hair below my 93+ standard. Still great, I just think my agnosticism toward Malbec is ultimately emerging. This Chilean interpretation, however, is unique and complex.

Declassified Barolo riserva. Certainly hits all the classic notes. Floral and forest floor aromatics and bright acidity accent a powerful red berry core — 2 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a purplish hue.

Very fruity on nose with red and black fruits, wood, earth, tobacco and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with cooked cherries, blueberries, plums, tobacco leaf, light oak, milk chocolates and spices.

Spicy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a nice and easy drinking Barbera from Piedmont. Fruit forward and tangy.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food. The high alcohol is not noticeable at this point.

100% Barbera grapes from 20 year old vines were grown at 1,000 feet of elevation. Aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels.

15% alcohol by volume.

Stunningly complex, mesmerising and fantastic.
Full of tertiary notes: Figs, hazelnuts, stemmed ginger, dried lemon peel, honey. Loads of caramel, baking spices, vanilla and tonka beans. Quite oxidative almost sherry like. Super bright acidity, wonderful balance and structure, a super lush and creamy finish. — 2 months ago

Subtle sweetness on a dry white was unexpected of a southern Italian white - good thing I didn’t have to try this blind, I’d have guessed something Alsatian. That said, it was great. — 6 months ago
