Chardonnay. From a single vineyard near Fleurie. Fermented in stainless steel. The 2018 is very rich, full of fruits like lemon and peach, but there's also a bright acidity. My bottle has some oxidized character to it as well. — 5 years ago
Classic Chianti from Laura Bianchi... smokey with ripe fruit forward. A balanced, forward Wine. Drink it now as it is at its peak.
Enjoyed with grilled lamb, root vegetables (including fennel), & tomatoes and mozzarella — 7 years ago

On an off chance went for this Fleurie from Barnhill, paired perfectly with roast pork, cherries, and berries with a good structure, made for a special 52 inlaws wedding anniversary! — 3 months ago

Had another bottle, Wow! Laura Catena, 4th gen winemaker, grew up in Argentine-Italian winemaking family in Mendoza. Wines, named after her children - Luca, Dante & Nicola - background of the label is the McDermott coat of arms of her American husband, Daniel McDermott. Single-vineyard wine from land belonging to the Laborde family. Deep red with big ripe fruits & smoky oak. Palate plum & jammy blackberry, spice with nice earthy character. Tannins are a bit rustic, lingering ending with toasty oak & spice. — 7 years ago
Amazing amount of fruit for a 2002. Lovely balance. — 8 years ago

Seems more youthful and structured than the bottle I had 6 months ago. Deep magenta. Loads of tangy red berries and dark cherry fruit over pungent granite. Vigorous in the mouth, with assertive fruit and acids. Some chalky tannins too. Very enjoyable now but seems like it will age a few years (contrary to my prior impression) — 15 days ago
