Good, tart, pear and citrus, moderate leesiness. A very solid Cornish champers. Might seem severe next to a Veuve a liquor and a bit simple compared to a Fidele. — 9 years ago

what french fries couldn't use a drizzle of jus? (the #wine: Camel & Joseph St.-Chinian Les Terroirs 2014 - gorgeous, soft, ripe plums & cocoa - and at LOW end of list; lesson: go Languedoc Roussillon for value on #French wine lists). At superb #lecoqriconyc — 8 years ago

Mountain fruit. Light bright cherry turning to baked. The minerality in the finish is light but long. So happy right now, 2 years in the wine fridge and time did this beautiful creation justice. — 9 years ago

Vin Santo Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2004

9.2

I wish Vin Santo was more readily available in the Midwest.

The color of lacquered oak or dark avocado varietal honey.

On the nose--Fig, roasted nuts, carmel, dates, prunes, unground cinnamon a bit in the background. Old honey, honeycomb candles.

The palate--decadent, rich as oil money. Sticky and inviting with burnt camel, fig paste and honeyed dates dripping across the tongue. Some acidity, but this wine has it's own version of acidity. It's a mouthfeel that doesn't quite have the zippy bright character of apples or fresh citrus. More of an acid from Curacao's sun dried orange peels.

Was incredible with a chocolate peanut butter pie that was surprisingly light.

Only marks off was for being a little low on full concentration for a Vin Santo, but it'd been open for better than a week. With this style, it's really hard to tell if this already oxidized wine could suffer from any affects of tiring within weeks of opening. — 9 years ago
