Resolution

R. López de Heredia

Viña Bosconia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2005

DAY 1
Served with the Vinlog System
👃Pretty pinot cherry flavors + cloves
👅The fruit is more dark. Earthy + tar. Midpalate is slightly thin. Some tannins that need time for resolution

Remaining wine was Slow Decanted in my fridge

DAY 11
👅Tannins are less than Day 1 but still noticeable. Purple fruit, earth & tar. Finishes nicely with fruit and licorice

I enjoyed this both days. Elegant and pretty but needs time to express itself and soften the tannins a bit. But I like it now and I love it’s potential🍷

Rossore Barbera

Fabrizio Iulli Rossore a Barbera masterpiece. 21-28 days maceration and 24 months maturation in large casks. Impressive fruit concentration in high def resolution, ripe but very vibrant red fruit that is flirting some black fruit followed by herbs, high toned floral lift and a rocky savouriness. A piercing acidity is directing the palate and is balanced by the round fruit with a slight gum gripping tannic grip. Graceful walk with plenty of impact. — 6 years ago

Nickel & Nickel

Tench Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

The 2014 Tench Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon exudes dark berry flavors with a hint of fresh blueberry, which defines this special site. A mouthwatering entry coats the palate, while the flavor and texture are complemented by restrained oak. Ultimately, the tannins dissolve, leaving an impression of resolution and completeness. — 7 years ago

I had a case of this purchased on original release, tried a few bottles at age 5-7, and thought them just OK — sold off the remaining bottles through my Napa storage facility — once again I likely completely whiffed on a wine!! Thanks for the note!!

Cantine Federiciane Monteleone

Gragnano Penisola Sorrentina Aglianico Blend

My Xmas resolution: to single handedly raise its Delectable aggregate score- because it deserves it. Perfect pizza frizzante wine. I think not technically a Lambrusco. Dry, balanced, charcuterie here I come. C’mon! — 6 years ago

Cadence

Tapteil Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

A very delicious and balanced blend with fresh boysenberry, blueberry and blackberry with emerging notes of smoke, flint, mulled spices, menthol and vegetal undertones. Pretty smooth on the mouthfeel with tannins well on their way to resolution. — 7 years ago

Nuts & Bolts California Syrah 2018

Nice Syrah, lots of depth and character, front and middle are lovely, back end resolution nice but not perfect balance for me. I don't know that a 100% syrah can ever resolve in perfect balance for me. That said, it is better than good. Hefty, dark ruby, swagger. Watch out.. she bang: 15.7%. Big enough that it doesn't taste hot though — 5 years ago

Resolution Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Enjoyable wine. I had it with an Italian chicken meal, but it would have been great with a steak or Cajun roast beef. Holds its own without overwhelming the taste of the meal. — 8 years ago
