Krug

Vintage Brut Champagne Blend 2008

Delectable Wine
9.7

The 2008 Vintage is an infant. Tightly wound and vibrant, the 2008 still needs time. Today, bright acids dominate. I wouldn't dream of touching this anytime soon, as the 2008 remains embryonic, although from time to time the barest hints of signature Krug notes peek out from the wine's structure. Vibrant saline notes and sculpted fruit are the signatures of a cold, late-ripening year that produced classically austere Champagnes. Disgorged: Autumn 2019. Krug ID: 419044.

Redwing Vineyard Old Vine Riesling 2018

Second time having this wine. This wine is kicking off a long weekend in Nashville with me and the wife. Very good. Not giving the detailed notes I usually provide, because I just wanted to enjoy without analyzing. So I will standby my rating before. Glad I have a few more of these. — 3 years ago

Cantine Garrone

Munaloss Nebbiolo Blend 2022

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2022 Vino Rosso Munaloss is bright, focused and sculpted. Sweet red fruit, sage, mint and blood orange abound in this super-expressive wine. Exuberant yet classically built, the 2022 has fine energy and tons of class. This is a fabulous entry-level offering. $20.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2024) — a year ago

Have just never had a dynamite experience with this vintage. Attempted 6x.

Seemed the outlier @vinokeeno One thing I did take away was the 90's still appear unready, but I feel they're getting close. It's good to taste these bottles, as I have some and know how they're developing now.

Domaine Auguste Clape

Cornas Syrah 2021

Delectable Wine
9.2

The 2021 Cornas is a solid red that’s concentrated and elegant, offering crushed violet, red plum, red cherry and iodine layers paired with stemmy gradations. The medium-bodied 2021 concludes with wonderful freshness on the savory finish. It shouldn’t take long to come around, something that cannot be said for the surrounding vintages.

Oooh…likely the best wine they ever made. Tasted a few months back and it was still phenomenal.

Allegrini

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2018

Delectable Wine
9.3

Cocoa, cinnamon and clove come together with crushed plums and balsam herbs as the 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico blossoms in the glass. This is silky and enveloping yet cool-toned in feel, with depths of dark red fruits nicely contrasted by a core of saline minerality. The 2018 finishes structured and long, tugging at the palate with grippy tannins as hints of Baker's chocolate and inner rose slowly fade. This is a vertical and racy edition of Allegrini Amarone, but it will require some time to come fully into focus. (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023) — 2 years ago
