Château Simone

Les Grands Carmes de Simone Vin de Pays des Bouches-du-Rhône Clairette Blend

Delicious and honestly, for a 2012, it tasted like a new young white! The color was deep, almost amber, and the nose continued to evolve until the last moment, and the palate the same! Perfectly balanced with a medium body and a loooooong finish, I’m gonna try and track down another bottle just to give it more time to evolve and unlock its secrets. — 3 years ago

Cantina dei Produttori Carema

Riserva Carema Nebbiolo 2015

The color is garnet with a few signs of rust even at this young age. A touch of purple undertones and a wide rim. Everything about this screams Nebbiolo at you, starting with the nose. Customary dried cherries and old leather. Figs, heavy spice, and smoke. It gives you a whiff of dark chocolate just because it’s being nice.

Decanting is a must but after that it starts to reveal its secrets. The acid is there but comparatively mild and things are quite tannic. Not exactly austere but certainly leaning towards it, just like I like it. The palate follows the nose with the more pronounced earth and truffles. It takes a while to really open up and evolve. If you’re impatient you might only get to the good stuff at the very end.

Valdespino

Tio Diego Macharnudo Vineyard Amontillado Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

N:Big petrol and varnish nose, caramel, to•bac•oh! A drawer full of secrets this.
P. Unctuous going in, liquid caramel, tree bark, smoky barrel, the sea.
Marvelous stuff from one vineyard ( Marchanudo Alto) rich in chalk, sometime under flor, some static.
18° watch out.
This from the Autumn Saca.

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

At PnP was really right and didn’t want to give up its secrets. A half hr of air and it relented—layers of flavors. Will revisit again as it opens more, but the nose and taste are delicious already. — 4 years ago
