Deep ruby coloration. No translucency. On the nose, cherry, plum, forest floor, oak and vanilla. On the palate, full bodied, cherry, plum, spice, pepper, and long finish of vanilla and cherry. Very nice value wine. — 2 months ago

Scarpa (Antica Casa Vinicola Scarpa)

Tettimorra Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Absolutely a knockout. Last had almost 2 years ago and the time has been good. Decanted 1.5 hours, still fairly primary - would be a delicious one to age more, but so it goes. Aromatically incredible. So deep on the palate with that perfect refreshing note on the finish. Excellent pairing with fennel rubbed roast chicken, mushrooms cooked in the chicken fat, and oven fries with a tarragon aioli. — 4 months ago

Chianti Superiore Sangiovese Blend 2018

Medium ruby color; cherries, dried herbs, and black plums on the nose; high acidity; medium minus tannins; tastes like sour cherries, wet gravel, and cranberries with a long finish. Nellie likes it with the lemon chicken I made. I love it. — 9 months ago

@Palmer Emmitt Hi Bud! I'll look this one up! If you say it's good then its golden in my book!
By the way., you should not be so humble! Uncork your 2011 Georges & post it!!!!
One of the absolute best 2011's I have ever had......ever! I'm not bullshitting. I haven't posted it yet because I haven't received my allocation due to high temps in S. FL.
It was my favorite during our tasting and I can't wait to get the case I ordered.
All kidding aside guys.., call him tomorrow's and order it before it's gone. Truly insanely lush. Awesomeness in a glass & by far the absolutely BEST priced Georges Cab in Napa. I literally dare you to find me one that is better. Yes......it's that good! Call Palmer Emmitt for pricing info on a case purchase. I've never led you wrong on a wine. Trust me on this one! It's the undiscovered gem 💎 in Napa.

Badia A Passignano Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2001

Quite deep ruby , with a wide garnet rim, quite young looking. Dried herbs , smoked meat , red cherry, violets , liquorice and antique furniture polish notes . On the palate quite round and rich, sweet red fruits , with that herbal tinge , those liquorice and charcuterie notes also evident . This in fact still shows well a day later , still quite full and rich , with red plum and black cherry notes . Quite good acidity , with quite gritty tannins, balanced alcohol . Decent length . This is very good now though no rush , mature but will continue to show well for a while longer , from now over the next 5 years . Another T Wright Wine choice … see my De Fieuzal 1994 note — 4 months ago

Aurata Chardonnay 2018

Dan
9.0

Light golden color, restrained nose of yellow fruit maybe even yellow kiwi. Rich and round, ripe yellow apples, some stone, decent acidity. Needs time for tertiary notes that seem like they’d be interesting. Maybe a bit low on acid, although the mineral and reductive note keep it pretty well balanced. — 2 years ago

Antikythera Pinot Noir 2013

In a line up with GC burgundy, blinded. Had everyone fooled. Volcanic shallow soil and young vines. Meticulous berry sorting.
Shows Oregon can produce wines of world class potential. Still a baby. Cooler vintage less critically acclaimed, but probably more aligned with burgundy lover preferences.

Castello della Sala Cervaro della Sala Umbria Chardonnay Grechetto 2020

はちみつのように濃厚
白トリュフのタヤリンと合わせて。

> レモンオイル、バタークリーム、カリカリのパン、焼きたての生地、バニラビーンズの香りと、砕いたカキの殻の香りが対照的だ。ミネラルを含んだ果樹園の果実が酸味のあるメロンへと変化し、最後には可憐な花の香りが漂う。
2020年はありえないほど長く、軽く骨格のある余韻が続き、砂糖漬けの柑橘類のノートがアーモンド・カスタードによって豊かになる。シャルドネ92%とグレケット8%のこのブレンドは、ブルゴーニュの白ワインのブラインドテイスティングにぜひ出してみたい。
美しく仕上がっている。(エリック・ギド、ヴィナス誌、2022年11月)

La Braccesca (Antinori)

Bramasole Cortona Syrah 2020

Final wine from our tasting at Antinori just outside Florence in their state of the art facility. All 3 wines matured in French or Hungarian Barriques. Initial barnyard aromas which blew off to reveal florals like lavender and peony. Oak is perfectly balanced and does not intrude in any of the 3 wines tasted. This district is not traditional for Syrah (only since 2000) but suits it perfectly - sandy soils. More savoury and meaty than fruit driven. — 8 months ago
