Sori dij But Dogliani Dolcetto

Great dolcetto that seems to have a hole in the bottle 😀 Enjoyed in great company in the countryside near Carru Italy — 10 years ago

Castello di Verrazzano

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2007

Phenomenal, but there's a strong possibility the overall experience of savoring this wine on a beautiful day in the Tuscan countryside may have slightly impacted my rating. This is a wonderful property situated in a phenomenal setting in one of the mist picturesque regions of Italy. — 11 years ago

Bosquet des Papes

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

A heady aroma, as robust as a Sangiovese, yet deeper with intense red berries. The instant olfactory memory evoked is one of the French countryside, an environment where food is straight from farm to table. The initial taste is fresh with a round mouth-feel, fruits contrasted by sharp tannins. It evolves into spice, tobacco, freshly chopped wood; all the while performing a try-partite symphony on the palate - well balanced between sharp, mellow, and deep earthy flavours impossibly cascading over the senses all at once. The finish is savoury and sweet, it begs for a taste of strong cheese, and leaves the mouth watering - dearly anticipatory of the next sip.

Truly an exquisite find.

Great, don't tell me any bad news that my poor DI ears are going to hate.

L'Estimee Chassagne-Montrachet Pinot Noir 2009

Damp countryside nose, hints of dark berries, with some bright hues peeking through on the pallet, small spice and slight dry on the finish - unique old world wine done with class — 12 years ago

Castellare di Castellina

Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2011

Fantastic everything I want in a Tuscan wine! Nose is phenomenal warm Tuscan countryside, whiff of sweet spice, warm nutmeg, real liquorice and tell-tale macerated cherry. For the UK price, excellent value. — 11 years ago

Kevin Judd's masterpiece of Sauvignon Blanc. Ripe greengage plum, golden apple & green-yellow citrus. Feral (in a good way) NZ countryside in the summer. — 12 years ago
