Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera

Pegasos Toscana Rosso Sangiovese 2000

Unique, romantic and earthy. Opened up in 45 minutes from glass to glass. 2000 vintage still tight and can easily go another decade. — 8 years ago

Château Poujeaux

Moulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Third bottle from a case picked up cheap because critics didn’t love it. Consistent notes though perhaps this is the best bottle yet. Medium body and depth overall but still cassis with a subtle candied note is strong on the nose, with elements of tobacco leaf and leather. Fine tannins still abundant and acidity firm. This will age for another 10-15 years but this is perhaps not structured to be a 40 year wine. — 8 years ago

Wow. I had a glass of this and could still taste it two hours later (not always a good thing but in this case it was). Taste like a hike on Mount Veeder. — 10 years ago

An oddity for me, strange at first until a stink blew off. But what emerged was neat, very different, young Nebbiolo on steroids. — 11 years ago

Case Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir 1999

Not as good as the 98 but still pretty enjoyable showing lots of the qualities of an older mature wine with ripe tanins and mature fruit - good bit of richness for a Pinot — 10 years ago

A nice debut for my case of 2011. This is in a happy drinking place for sure. No fireworks, but a great example of an approachable Nebbiolo that you can drink during summer! — 9 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2009

Gorgeous 2009 Châteauneuf du Pape from Château du Beaucastel. Drinking very well right now. Opulent and seductive CDP displaying an elegant blend of herbs, chocolate and fruit. A lingering finish reminiscent of spice and perfume of diptyque candle that has been extinguished. This is a winner. Would someone send me a case for Xmas please? ❤️ — 10 years ago
