Inkling

Austin Hope

Harvester Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Estrella district.
Magenta rim, opaque indigo color.

On the nose there's cranberries and an inkling of tannins.

Rich flavors of cocoa and velvety oak blend with dark chocolate and raspberry.

Baby Bandito Follow Your Dreams Carignan 2021

By the process of elimination, I got the country of origin and producer right. Varietal was a little difficult with these natty reds for me, but I had a inkling with my initial guess on origin being the south of France (it’s Carignan). Wine itself was red-fruited and juicy with bright acidity and a touch of savoury twang. Didn’t find it particularly layered but I could drink a lot of this easily. — 2 years ago

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

A debauchery of aromatic black fruits illuminates the senses. Exquisite inkling of leave with palpitating fenugreek and illusive pomelo. An invigorating seduction you cant put down. — 8 years ago

Casanova di Neri

Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2013

Not particularly impressive in the blind - blocky, lacking elegance, and clearly Italian. Had an inkling it was a Brunello given the group I was with. It did eventually reveal some delectable elements by the end of the night. Red-fruited and saline with some oaky spice, yet I felt its energy was drained by too much dry tannins, plum-ish and earthy characters. One to revisit, though my limited experience with this producer so far has been rather lacklustre. — 2 years ago

Vigneto Saetti

Rosso Viola Lambrusco 2017

My true Lambrusco love - earthy (farty) crunchy red berries and pomegranate, super dry, juicy acid, great level of frizz. Woven cloth label is not to be ignored. This is such a killer food wine - muffaletta sandwich from Lucca for lunch and leftover Indian for dinner. Detecting an inkling of mouse at dinner so drink quickly. Shouldn’t be hard. — 5 years ago

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Very fruity and delicious. Mild earthyness and full bodied. Dark berries and medium alcohol taste. Full nose as far as bouquet. Damn good can especially for the price. Must have again! — 9 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Bordeaux Blanc Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2018

Salinity, oyster shell, orange essence, lemon verging on drawn butter, beeswax, white roses and hydrangea. Near creamy finish, but pith-large and drying grapefruit reel any inkling in.

Penfolds

Bin 600 California Cabernet Shiraz 2018

A pleasant somewhat underwhelming nose. Vanilla and charred cedar on the palate, greenery, and spices. An inkling of residual sugar on the palate, but syncs nicely with the medium acid and medium tannins. Quite solid.
