I’ve been COVID remiss failing to rate the many wines I ushered into that good night during various shutdowns. Tonight I visit my favorite AZ resto Constantino’s. And, experience my favorite wine value in quite some time. At $50/resto and $28/retail, this exceptionally generous flavor provider cannot be ignored. If you note the dearth of excruciatingly correct wine descripto lingo, then you understand my rate stylings. Then again, when I rate something highly, the wine is worth your time. — 4 years ago

Absolutely delicious. If there's any wine that mashes the "yummy button", this is it. So jealous of the generous provider of tonight's WOTN. @Martin G Rivard @David L you guys should be here!! — 7 years ago

When I first tasted this with Coravin we were sure it had TCA, but it wasn’t excessively bitter or astringent and it had plenty of rich ripe black fruit...so I uncorked it today and the cork definitely smells of old winery, old church and almost pine trees but I wouldn’t call it corked cork. Even with the cork issue the wine has a smooth oily attack and firm fine-grained tannins. I am thoroughly enjoying it. #bolgheri #tuscany #italy #supertuscan The winery should definitely look into their cork provider. — 4 years ago

Tasted blind. Deep, dark amber tinged and tawny color. Hits me immediately as a gravel-influenced Bordeaux and I’m am in Graves with my guess. Notes of tobacco, graphite, ash, earth and gravel stone. Big shoulders, and a little hot. Yet silky in the mouth. I guess 82 La Mish HB. This has plenty of life in front of it, but give it 5+ hrs of air if consuming in the near term as the provider of this wine did. — 4 years ago

Part of Super Tuscan Horizontal tasting. All 2016 vintage Masseto, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Solaia, Tignanello, Redigafi, and a mystery bottle (Phelps Insignia). The color of this wine was red, not purple like I was expecting. It was more Burgundian than Bordeaux-like. A bit on the subtle side. Refined. Still had good cherry and other red fruits, not overly tannic or oaky like I was expecting. This was a good wine, but my least favorite of the night. We had 2 bottles at the tasting and both drank the same. Not the typical Sassicaia profile and definitely not a 100 pt wine in my opinion. It was enough different than other Sassicaia I have had over the years that it left me scratching my head. I plan to source another bottle form a different purveyor to see if this was just an off lot. It was sourced from a reputable provider and has been in my cellar settling for a few months. — 4 years ago

Sort of a fruit bomb for a cab. No surprise given host/provider. Maybe needs another 5 years? — 7 years ago

New vineyard for this provider and, man, did it sing. Silky smooth with just the right amount of acidity on the finish. Wonderful stone fruit, cedar, and caramel. Looking forward to this vineyard for years to come. — 8 years ago

This Merlot is from Morwald Vineyards in Austria. Morwald is the provider of wines for Viking River Cruises. Lovely award winning wine. Paired with corn beef dinner. — 8 years ago
