Visited Rene last year; tasted 2013; he is careful to not overblow his viognier; keeps it taut and consequently more drinkable. #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #france2016 #france2017

Vecchio Samperi Ventennale Marsala Grillo

Steve Matthiasson
9.5

Rich, complex, nutty, mineral, deep and complex, dry Marsala is really it's own thing, it probably pairs with all kinds of foods, but to me it's a perfect aperitif, this one is family owned (and the best I've ever tasted), family ownership is pretty cool considering the long history of Marsala in the international wine trade — 8 years ago

E. Guigal

Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2011

Exceptional, expressive; aromatic and just so poised; holding back its full potential with residual oak bits; more behind the wine than meets the eye; #syrah #coterotie #guigal #2011 ; not big in texture for a warm region shiraz; more the elegant road, pushed that way by long oak time; tannic; 13.5%; AUD 200; long juicy mix of oak spice and shiraz blueberry; so fab #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #France2017 to visit; also there #2016. — 8 years ago

Ceretto

Prapó Barolo Nebbiolo 1997

An interesting balance of secondary savoriness, spicy black tea-like tannins, darker than expected fruit and tons of acidic structure. Evolving & fascinating. — 8 years ago

Cape Mentelle

Margaret River Chardonnay 2009

Wow; how maturing #margaretriver #chardonnay does vary; see recent #cullen #2009 which was brassy, this gleaming green and plenty of it; #cullen restrained, this #capementelle is butch; nose power of smoke or burnt things, bottle age nose not simple, evidence of lees/ mlf from the smoke; palate chunky, lime juice, burnt toast you taste in 30 yo Eden Valley riesling; juicy smoke; rich, not terribly drying, acid taut, 13%, AUD 35, full bodied, no apparent reason for it to fade for a while; contained power. #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours — 8 years ago
