Poggio il Castellare
Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Light Sumatra coffee notes, with dark cocoa nib and baked red plum with a borderline persimmon coat on. A drop of night blooming jasmine surfacing briefly and African violet, and a fat lily thickness. There are baked cherries and a smoky paprika, too. Black cherry, that coils dustily into a toasty oak and resin dappled raspberry and roobios bitterness and fine grained tannins. #brunello #poggiocastellare #PianBossolino #italianwines #montalchino #Tuscany #riserva #wineallyouwant — 9 years ago

Castell'in Villa
Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese 1988
The color was still quite full with some orange on the rim. The palate was tired. The fruit was red, black and mature. The tannins were gritty and the alcohol stood out. Mostly driven by dried red flowers and flower stems. Drying on the palate and short length. #castellinvilla #chianti #chianticlassico #riserva #tuscany #italy #sangiovese #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago
Bodegas Ramón Roqueta
Gran Reserva Las Barracas Catalunya Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Leather, earthy muted dark fruit on nose. Nice medium bodied #tempranillo with slightly high acidity and a long finish with bracing tannins. Needs to be breathe at least an hour. Not bad but expected more of an 8 year old Gran #riserva. — 11 years ago
Kirkland Signature
Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2016
Splendid KS #rioja #riserva. Give it a little time in the glass for the new American oak to blow off. Then earthy dark fruit, underbrush, leather, mushrooms aromas waft out. Peppery spicy on the front palate, firm tension, mouth-swaddling generous tannins and a touch of pepper on the long finish. Incredible food-friendly wine considering the awesome QPR: $8 at Costco. — 5 years ago

Monte Bernardi
Sa'etta Chianti Classico Riserva Sangiovese Blend 2012
Med concentration with a ruby core fading out to deep pink. A touch of brett on the nose with med intensity and med complexity. Cherry cough medicine, leather, licorice, herbs, almond skins, and underripe red fruit. Taught structure on the palate with med + acid and tannin and med abv. Med complexity and body. Orange, bitter greens and all the other notes from the nose. Great balance. Med length. Great looking future ahead. #montebernardi #chianticlassico #riserva #sangiovese #tuscany #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago
Sella & Mosca
Riserva Cannonau di Sardegna 2011
The labels may be slightly different (left has a French Canadian label from Montrèal & right has North American label from NYC). What's inside is the same Cannanou di Sardegna Riserva & still remains one of the best wines out there. Delicious & one of my absolute favs. Grazie Sardegna! #sardegna #redwine #riserva #sellamosca #cannonaudisardegna #vino #hearthealthy #italianwine #sud — 10 years ago

Really enjoyable and well made #pinotnoir #pinotnero #riserva from #altoadige #sudtirol #italy Perhaps the acidity is a little too high and there isn’t enough ripe fruit and body to balance it, but it has delicate and precise aromas and flavors. — 5 years ago
Kirkland Signature
Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2014
Classic #rioja #riserva - so much forest floor, earth, leather on the nose, medium light body, features typically shy fruit and backbone of acidity. Tannins are light. More fruit concentration would be nice but honestly I have not found a better value for the #oldworldstyle wine lover than this Costco bottle for $6.99. — 7 years ago

Luciani
Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
I opened this too early and it bit back hard. This is a huge wine with a blazing abv and ginormous but tightly knit tannins. There was a lot of density and what could be tremendous complexity behind the structure but it is hiding for now. #riserva #brunellodimontalcino #luciani #italy #tuscany — 10 years ago
Conti Costanti
Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007
Dried/ripe and concentrated red and black fruit. Great herbal, spicy, and meaty qualities. Lacked length though. #brunello #brunellodimontalcino #riserva — 11 years ago

Even with 9 years of bottle age there’s still a lot of youth in this #rioja #riserva 100% #graciano. Purple/red fruit on the nose, a touch reticent. Active on the palate with lively acidity and tannins continue to build with each sip. So youthful I’m eager to try the 2001 vintage of from this producer that I bought recently. — 3 years ago
