Hong Kong wine enthusiast by route of New York City and SF Bay area. Big fan Russian River Valley Pinot and German Riesling.
This Sangiovese punches above its weight. At 9 years old it’s softened, balanced and integrated after it catches some air.. Perfect home made pizza wine. Cheers! — 4 months ago
Something is off… As if Mussolini were shy. Without food, and in quiet contemplation in a dark room of concentration… I picked up some beautiful notes. — 4 months ago
A fun New Years competition between Riva and Sizerrane. Both are winners. Though I’d say Riva had it by a nose. It was dense and deep. I loved the burnt caramel meat after two days in a decanter. The Siz was more elegant upfront and had a very long enjoyable finish that was haunting. Good stuff for 2023! — 5 months ago
Loved the nose. Savory. Wild berry. Olives. Nice young, but as it did open over many hours I’m guessing this needs a few years to be at its best. I’m buying another to find out. — 4 months ago
Almost a different style for Keenan? Less structure than previous years… and what I liked about Keenan Napa cabs were they represented good structure for the buck. Without that it’s still a nice Napa cab. — 4 months ago
Beast. Inky. Tar. Blood. With 12 years under its belt it decided to be an old school Rhône when it grew up! — 5 months ago
Straight out delicious. Dark. Viscous. Mango? Draw back was the headache. — 4 months ago
Fun wine. Would have guessed gamay. It was much better the second night as it smelled of fresh cut purple flowers. Love Stolpman. — 4 months ago
Starts out as a pretty basic Pinot… but the finish had a unique silky Nutella thing going on!? Fun. Cheers! — 5 months ago

Super dark, meaty, earthy, dark fruity, and very Rhone-y. Yeah, that’s the word. — 4 months ago
