Siro Pacenti

Pelagrilli Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

9.1

I had given up on the Delectable App and surrendered to the thought I lost all my wine reports, but hey, it still seems to be alive and actually working much better. So hoping for the best, I am going to keep my scores again. Here an okay Brunello. Certainly not great. Strong acidic note that kept the fruit and complexity hidden. Storing it for one day made it worse. Not sure how both WS and JS scored it 95+. — 4 days ago

@Jan de Weerd yes! I had also given up on this App and actually removed it. So happy I did a revisit! Does anyone know what transpired?

Figgins

Estate Red Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

9.4

Beautiful Bordeaux blend expression of Walla Walla. Concentrated fruit that stays centered. Vibrant, intense yet nuanced dark fruit flavors carried by rounded tannins. — 3 months ago

Giuseppe Campagnola

Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2016

9.4

Was planning on a 9.3 but then the pizza came and the wine became even more pronounced, intense, rich, penetrating dried red fruit, earthy and minerally laced. It is one of our most favorite Amarones. We had the opportunity to visit the winery last year.

I am not Amarone fan, Jan

Ah! That explains it. Cheers.

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

9.6

And now a Bordeaux blend expression from… well Bordeaux! Left bank that is. Our favorite left bank Bordeaux fantastic quality for reasonable price. This wine was intense, still rather edgy tannins but already great complexity of waves of dark and red fruit laced in subtle pipe tobacco and spiced oak. — 3 months ago

Casa Magoni

Reserva Clone 337 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

9.4

A Cab Sauv from a carefully selected clone grown in Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, Mexico. Hand carried back to Idaho! Magoni makes some very, very good wines. This is a great example. Rich, expressive and full bodied with earthy, sweet undernotes that make these wines connect so well with Mexican cuisine. Mexican wines are the new Tequila. Want to know more?

Domaine Lafond

Roc Epine Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

9.3

This wine is in balance! Everything plays together so well. It’s a nice 10 year old wine, also the aged notes integrated so well with the vibrant red fruit coming from the Grenache. A little bit of Mouvedre and Syrah give it nice complexity. — 4 months ago
