Dieser Wein ist sowas von Mega! Blaufränkisch at it's best! Er vibriert, hat Trinkfluss, Tiefe, Länge, Frucht, geniale Tannine, Mineralität, ist spannend und filigran. Das geht fast nicht besser, nur anders. Unbedingt probieren!!! — 8 years ago

Excellent value this entry level Edmeades Zin. Nose has tangy cherry and blackberry, pine forest underbrush, and rocky minerals. Mouthfilling and flavorsome, but with much more of a savory and minerally profile than a typical Zin. Still, the rich fruit is there. Dry, a bit of tannin present too, with good acids. Says 15% but drinks like and old pre global warming 14%er. — 8 years ago

Something's rotten in Denmark--er, France. Seriously this smells like a past ripe papaya, rotting stone fruit, decaying flowers, potpourri. And then zing! Bone dry, almost saline on the palate, high acid, savory finish. Gimme some food with this. — 9 years ago

En flott balansert dessertvin, med deilig sødme og syrlighet i ett. Bringebærsmaken er fremtredende, oppleves veldig fyldig i munnen, nærmest litt musserende. Drukket til vaniljeis og eplepai med ferske norske epler. — 10 years ago

The word "primeur" on the front label was handwritten by Bouju. It is mostly the same cuvée as the standard Violette... just a bit fresher and glouglou-er. It was specially bottled to Stephane Planche from Les Jardins de St Vincent in Arbois. — 8 years ago

Such lovely balance on a 15%-er. Mulberries and old cigar box. Between aromas and structure, dances somewhere between Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir. Really a joy to sip. — 9 years ago

A bit reductive when first opened but after an, er, aggressive decanting, opened up and showed spicy, savory fruit with a lovely ripe quality that wasn't overblown or hot on the finish. My second experience with this wine and neither bottle disappointed. — 10 years ago

Let 'er breathe and glory awaits! Lush berries and licorice notes dominate a balanced, elegantly oaked wine.

Also kudos on the detailed data on the label of the what, how and where of this Red Mountain wine. — 10 years ago

9.1

Lovely nose, very smoky, with fur and old leather, sappy red cherry, plum and cigar, irony and sanguine, with a touch of dried ground. Palate is lithe and fresh, very smoky with plenty of earth and leather, irony, medium concentration and length. Nose is much stronger than palate, lovely aged drop but not a blockbuster nor worth holding further. Drink er' up! 1999 vintage. — 10 years ago

I received a selection of Catena wines following an interview with Dr. Laura Catena (to her credit, she's an amazing person and a part time ER doc). Her 2014 High Mountain Vines Cabernet displays glorious aromas of black currant, anise, mocha, exotic spice, and cedar. Medium weight, elevation has endowed this Argentine Cab with elegance and silkiness stitched against a backdrop of fine tannins and high acidity. It’s fresh and intense with a finish that flirts with saline-tipped minerality. — 8 years ago

What a great vintage this turning out to be...the hot, dry(er) summer brought a nice balance of sugar and acid. This was wisely Merlot heavy (60%), lending to cherry notes. However, the Merlot is sturdy alto that allows the PV and CF to harmonize their tenor cords. This was from some delightful place between Rhone and the Right Bank :) Well done and a Superb Value at 22$ — 9 years ago

Das Weingut Elvio Cogno in der Region Piemont erzeugt mit dem Barolo Ravera 2007 einen Spitzenrotwein. Der Barolo heißt auch "Wein der Könige". In der kleinen Weinbaugemeinde Novello im Nordwesten Italiens baut die Kellerei Elvio Cogno seit 1990 einen der besten trockenen Rotweine Italiens an, den berühmten Barolo. In den 1860er-Jahren nannte man der Barolo "Wein der Könige". Heute holt man den kräftigen Roten nur zu besonderen Anlässen aus dem Keller. Sortenrein aus Nebbiolo gekeltert Ein besonders prächtiger Jahrgang ist der granatrote Barolo Ravera 2007, gekeltert zu 100 Prozent aus Nebbiolo-Trauben. Diese gedeihen auf rund fünf Hektar Anbaufläche in einer Höhe von 380 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel. Elvio Cogno setzt auf konventionellen Ausbau: Der edle Rebsaft verbleibt zwei Jahre lang in großen Fässern aus slowenischer Eiche. Aromen von Rosen, Rauch und Tabak Die Geschmacksnoten des Barolo Ravera 2007 sind außergewöhnlich. Er duftet nach wilden Rosen, Minze und Tabak. Auf der Zunge besticht er durch Aromen von dunklen Früchten, Trüffel, Lakritze, Leder und Rauch. Herrlich lang ist sein Abgang mit schokoladigen Nuancen. Mit 14,5 Prozent Alkohol ist der Barolo eher kräftig. Elvio Cogno datier das Lagerpotenzial seines Spitzenweines bis 2025. Barolo Ravera 2007: Hoch dekoriert Am besten kommt das vielschichtige Bouquet des Barolo Ravera 2007 bei einer Trinktemperatur von 18 bis 20 Grad Celsius. Der Wein passt hervorragend zu Schmorbraten, Wildgerichten und reifem Käse. Der Barolo wurde vom bekanntesten italienischen Weinführer Gambero Rosso mit drei Gläsern ausgezeichnet. Duemilavini, der Weinführer der italienischen Sommeliers, verlieh ihm vier Trauben und der berühmte amerikanische Weinkritiker Robert Parker stolze 93 von 100 Punkten. — 12 years ago
