Hasn’t budged since my last bottle a year ago. Inky, bloody, super concentrated red berries, white pepper, and menthol. Light years to go. — 8 years ago

Me either!

Umathum

Frauenkirchner Haideboden Blaufränkisch St. Laurent 2013

The cork is glass- neat! Has a pretty savory smell right off the bat, it reminds me of church. Really full bodied, not intensely fruity, effervescent at the finish. — 9 years ago

Bat Shlomo Vineyards

Chardonnay 2014

This wine is unique. Not a refreshing summer wine but rather a hearty, almost filling white that reminds me more of a red than a white. Thick and lots of oak. — 9 years ago

Fattoria Le Pupille (Elisabetta Geppetti)

Poggio Valente Riserva Morellino di Scansano Sangiovese 2006

2006 vintage. Antonio Galloni rated it 92. Needs to open up a bit but delicious off the bat - not heavy or thick, great acidity. Will be delicious with red wine braised turkey. — 10 years ago

Nicholson Jones Selection

Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Probably opened a bit too early but it was my birthday so oh well :) definitely decant. Smelled cranberry off the bat and then it changed into a very smooth Cab. Very nice with the burgers we had. — 10 years ago

Poggio San Polo

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 1997

Color shows the age, nose is like a fruity air freshener ( hate the tennis ball can adj. but you smell it off the bat) this wine just produces joy every time I sip it, it really is balance in a glass with a side of sexiness. Love this stuff — 8 years ago

Garnier et Fils

Montmains 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

There is a hanging note of green like kiwi and lime zest off the bat that awakens the palate without a jolt of bitterness and it's fantastically soft yet vibrant. Steel > oak here, the oak comes out like raw green apple sauce. Lemongrass, some salted honeydew.. It feels kinda chalky on the gums after awhile — 9 years ago

The Ojai Vineyard

Santa Barbara County Syrah 2014

Unique flavor profile. Not so peppery right off the bat, which is nice. But it's still there. Regional grapes sourced off property by their same winemaker due to their fire a while back. — 9 years ago

Cardwell Hill Cellars

Estate Pinot Noir 2011

I could tell right off the bat I could tell there was some clone 777 in here. It's one of my favorite PN clones with notes of wet earth and mushroom but with soft red fruit. Nice structure and acid. I'm enjoying this a lot. — 10 years ago

9.0

Honey on toast straight off the bat, walnut oil and a very light touch of twiglet makes me think this isn't in the greatest shape but shows some great complexity. In the mouth there is snappy red apple skin from the off though the mouthfeel is rather thin, sleek on the finish with plenty of class. — 10 years ago

Domaine Marcel Deiss

Le Jardin des Anges Engelgarten Cru d'Alsace Riesling Blend 2014

Insane wine. Petrol off the bat then leading into orange zest, citrus, peach and some honeyed notes. Mouthfeel (waxy/creamy) acid balance is mind blowing with plenty of salivation as per descriptor on back label. Loved it. — 8 years ago

Expresso hints right off the bat. Settles down to have a meaty lasagne finish. Really interesting for the price point. Didn't see this one coming. — 11 years ago
