1hr+ decant. Red, maroon, prune color. Dark stewed fruit with some floral elements on the nose. Nose and flavor weren’t connected. Wine was pretty one dimensional with no real standout characteristics. Medium minus depth and finish. Not bad, had higher expectations. — 2 years ago

PnP. Dark red/maroon color. Cigarettes, BBQ, and incense on the nose. Similar on the palate. Fairly big wine. Not my style, but I’m sure others may love this. — 2 years ago

Les Beaux Monts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1999

Excellent mature burg. Won’t improve but a ton of umami and maroon fruit. V-R aromatics. — 3 years ago

Clos Lojen Manchuela Bobal 2021

Has improved over past vintage & still at 11$. Slight grainy texture & fine tannins, maroon/red-black color. Medium to light viscosity with small red berry fruit predominant-but surprising depth, like a Beaujo Villages on steroids. Strong enough acid, & the mid palate wobbles but for this price, it’s Valencia rocks. Served slightly chilled on one of those 90 degree days, East Coast. — 4 years ago

Enderle & Moll

Liaison Pinot Noir 2020

I like Liason in all shapes and sizes and 2020 has a lot to say without any pointy angles.

It's the one with a heavier hand, in cloudy maroon velvet sweats. Brighter and overt, the loyalists might miss some delicacy.

That familiar natty nose, with rolling perfumed volatility and stemmy, woodsy notes. Textured, syrupped, candied sweet cherry and rosemary for a mixed cocktail.

Richer than previous vintages it was much warmer. Yet still classic E&M.

Corte Rugolin

Crosara de le Strie Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend

Thanks G4 for inviting me to wine & food pairing at Il Bolognese. Deep maroon color with complex aromas of black fruits, cherry, tobacco, and spices on the nose. Full-bodied and follows by jammy flavors of blackberry, cherry, plum, chocolate, truffle, and soft peppery spices on the palate. Solid structure, firm tannins, and juicy aftertaste. Vibrant & delicious and paired well with red meat. — 7 years ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

9.1

Maroon coloration. On the nose, cherry, florals, leather, minerals, and vanilla. On the palate, cherry, red berry, earth, minerals, stronger acidity and tannins present but not overpowering. A Barolo with more finesse than power. — 10 months ago

1hr+ decant. Maroon color on the pour but darkish red in the glass. Aged Bordeaux on the nose with cedar and floral elements. Palate reflects the same with dark cherries, tobacco, and anise. Medium plus depth and medium finish. Right in my wheelhouse! — 2 years ago

The Hess Collection

Allomi Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Wine pours a dark maroon. Wonderful flavors of cherry pie, vanilla, and other berries and plum. Fairly acidic, moderate tannins and an excellent vegetable finish. The wine was a perfect complement to our prime rib and steak dinner the first night of our Christmas 2023 cruise. A definite rebuy-a good value in the premium Napa wines. — 2 years ago

Château La Canorgue

Côtes du Luberon Red Blend 2015

Winery in the movie “A Good Year”. PnP. Wine has a big barnyard, cow shit nose; which I kind of like. Dark red, deep maroon color. Lovely texture with low alcohol. Nice balance of cherries and plums, with earth and terroir. Love the uniqueness and rich depth. — 3 years ago

Valeirano Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2015

Dried cherry, leather, sandalwood, caramel, faint potpourri notes on the nose. Maroon fading to brick red on edges of the glass, medium light body, more earthy & savory on the palate, nice frame of medium acidity ending with robust mouth-coating tannins but still a far cry from a young Barolo. I’m experiencing why #barbaresco is such a food friendly wine - set off so well with herby Porchetta and cremini mushroom creamy pasta. — 5 years ago
