1 hour decant(little fine sediment). A gorgeous still dark magenta with bricking. On the nose: Seductive notes of red fruit, forest floor, eucalyptus, stewed meat, pencil shavings, soy sauce, touch of cinnamon. Taste: silky, polished, intense wine with brambly plum/blackberry, graphite, dark chocolate, smoke, and a peppery licorice medium plus finish. YUM! — 13 days ago

We had a busy weekend with some friends going through a few bottles. We started with the nice invigorating Riesling from Figgins. Not like the 2020 however. we paired it with some different light cheeses like Brie, Muenster cheese, an apricot flavored cheese and a garlic flavored curd cheese. They all brought different flavors out of the wine. Fun experiment. Interestingly, one of the bottles was carbonated 🤔, the yeast must have still been active. — 4 years ago

@Delectable folks, please note this is #10. Quite a bit of wood on this one. But not as much as #3. “Custom 60 gallon French and American hybrid oak barrel with a low deep impact toast profile.” — 6 years ago

Bought this as an experiment. Kirkland branded wines are hit and miss. The Gigondas last year was great. The Chateauneuf this year good, but not as good.

This was surprising. Not sure if the make up, but feels more merlot centric. Some smoothness, maybe cab franc? Served with a cacciatore, perhaps a little heavy in tannins, but no, I didn't think so. A little tobacco, creamy leather, earthy. It can work with anything rich, tomatoey - braciole? I could imagine this with lamb dishes. Great for the price pojnt. — a month ago

Dark ruby. Red fruit nose. Medium bodied. Silky soft tannins even right out of the bottle. Fruit forward, lots of oak, earthy, mushroom, hint of dark chocolate on the finish. Medium finish. Drinking well now. — 4 years ago

This is 2019 Ovid Experiment W6.9.
I have really been looking forward to trying this one (my first Ovid white!), and this gorgeous sunny day presented me ample time to sit on the patio and contemplate it! Bright tropical notes on the nose. But I think the real beauty is the texture. It’s like a flower blossoming on your tongue. The floral bouquet of the Rhone varietals makes a strong appearance mid palate. — 6 years ago

Lovely wine. Another great experiment by Ovid and a true bargain as it ages beautifully. Everything a cab franc should be.... — 6 years ago

Stellar Barolo. Definitely of the new school, lighter color, lightly structured, but radiant fruit in a refined style. Decanted 2hrs. Perfect pairing for veal/osso buco, maybe less so for a roast. Some debate whether more age would refine the fruit further or cause it to dissipate. No idea but have two more so can experiment! Made me want to get on an overnight to Piedmont tonight. — 2 years ago

An experiment. So consistently strong, and clearly has longevity. No rush to consume these…
So decadent, going close to the explosive line, but doesn’t cross it. Blueberries and rich black fruits mesh with sandalwood and brown sugar. Weighty on the mid palate with relaxed acidity. This is epic. Still in its prime so consume now. — 3 years ago

Creamy, white flower, bright peach. Nice tannin too. But where will it go with more time?! — 5 years ago

Last of the weekend Ovids and exactly what I was referring to in other posts. The Experiment reds are generally fantastic. Bold and rich and unique. @Matt Duncan these last two wines are what makes Ovid special. — 6 years ago

Quite smoky, almost Islay-like, would go great with a cigar. 36 months in barrel, quite unusual for Bourbon. “New 60 gallon American Oak barrel with a low, deep impact toast profile.” — 6 years ago
