Sassicaia 09 from Carlo Terruzzi

📝 We had to fight my wife to get any of this as she adored it 😎

Lovely rich deep cocoa driven dark fruits that showed awesome potential - drinking 4.5⭐️ but will be a stunning 5⭐️ in 5-7 years & my wife says 5⭐️ as her WOTN & it will be 5⭐️ in time 👍

Check others notes but I'm buying some (I've been ordered to 😂) & I even kissed (or licked) Carlo for this - thanks Carlo for sharing this & costing me a fortune 👅

Le Grand Clos Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2010

Vintage 2010 - there are multiple reasons why I love #bourgueil let me explain. When I just discovered wine as a real passion - at the age of 18 - I adored the raspberry smell no other wine offered so generous. I like the name: Bourgueil is by far the most beautiful AOC name. My wife and I fell in love with the great dishes of Madame Debacker and the #Loire region on our honeymoon. This #cabernetfranc is deep black in the glass. It has character. Even at this age the wine shows a bit harshness, and an austerity that is found in Bordeaux often. But the raspberry and cherry smell reminds me of Cru de Beaujolais. It has also flint and mineral expression in smell, hints of leather, tobacco, clove. On the tongue it has a velvety structure. Bourgueil can be complex and frivolous at the same time. / Partnered it with Bavette from bbq and cauliflower mousse. — 7 years ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc White Rhone Blend 1995

90, 95, 98. 90 was magic. Best bottle of 90 for me. As good and refined as dr funkenbeaucastel can be. 95 was very good just a tough follow to the 90. 98 is really young, lots of potential. Another much adored flight. — 9 years ago

Central Coast Petite Sirah 1998

9.5

The 98 drinks more like a Pinot now than the petit Syrah it was, although always it was a wine of greater subtlety and finesse than any petit Syrah I know. It's lighter than a Californian might be but in the Burgundian style it is probably tilting the scale toward fuller body, reflecting an American terroir within that style, or so I speculate. I have adored every stage of its maturation and it is hard for me to say when it gave the most. — 10 years ago

Halenberg GG Riesling 2013

It takes a pretty incredible effort to make a #wine that is so impressive and lovely, yet still so young that everyone at the table unanimously adored it.
This even gives the epic 2012 a run for its money, which is saying something!

Ramey Wine Cellars

Annum Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

"Sage, rosemary, menthol, dark plums, licorice and sweet tobacco meld together in the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum. Plush, round and inviting, the 2010 appears to have a very bright future ahead of it. The balance of sweet, layered fruit and the structure of the year is simply dazzling. I have always adored David Ramey's 2010 Cabernets. Today, they are dazzling."
- Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2014

​Aging on fine lees incorporates the oak so that the two years the Annum spends in 100% new French barrels is barely noticeable. As with all of our wines, it goes through native yeast and malolactic fermentations. This wine combines the harmony produced by traditional Bordelaise winemaking techniques with the voluptuousness of Napa Valley terroir. It is lightly fined with egg whites and bottled without filtration.
