Can’t go wrong with the Concha y Toro line. Can’t beat the price for a good Chilean red either. — a month ago

Classic old skool offering from Yalumba: every descriptor known to mankind… bit syrupy & viscous for my taste w/plenty of RS - but the aromatics are off the charts! — 9 months ago

Very tasty. Acidity here is fading a bit. Excellent with Bananas Foster. — 4 years ago

A museum release from the winery - I bought this at a Shaw and Smith tasting in Brisbane a few years ago. An asparagus note initially which blew off. Asian spices, raspberry, earthy mineral notes on nose, carrying through to the medium to full bodied palate. A nice balance between cool climate and warm climate characteristics. Finishes with a little astringency. — 5 years ago

Krug is always most welcome, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. This is edition 169. A bit more yeasty and slightly less acidic than previous versions, to my taste. But if you like the Krug style - which we do very much - it hits the spot per usual.

My wife used to work with Fritz Hatton, proprietor of Arietta wines and auctioneer for Zachys. Fritz always says to have a half bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge in case you need a “midnight snack”, and I have to agree with him! — 4 years ago

Deep purple in color with a purplish rim.

Strong nose of black currants, black plums, black cherries, oak, light vanilla, licorice, chocolates, light alcohol, spices, peppercorn, and herbs.

Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate, with plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, chocolates, dark coffee, pencil lead, licorice, light dried figs, light tobacco, and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with fine-grained tannins, tangy raspberries, and light cola notes.

This Malbec-based blend from Oak Knoll District in Napa Valley is still young, but already soft and engaging.

Rich and "in-your-face" kind of wine. Elegant and fruit-forward. Feels like a high-end New World Malbec.

Already showing nice complexity, once it opens up. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.

Definitely needs 90 minutes in the decanter to open up and show its complexity.

Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 51% Malbec, 21% Petit Verdot, 12% Syrah, 12% Merlot and 4% Petite Sirah. Aged in (45% new) French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.7% alcohol by volume.
