Quinta do Passadouro

Douro Touriga Nacional 2011

Fabien Lainé
9.5

Delicious and finesse, a very good value for money, one of the best Douro Touriga Nacional - This wine shows a different character. With origins in old vineyards Valley Mendiz, with 50 to 70 years old, the novelty is the combination with a percentage of Touriga Nacional from Quinta do Sibio. Very concentrated in color. Very expressive and elegant aroma dominated by notes of wild berries and cistus well combined with wood. The palate is full and balanced, very silky, fresh and intense.

Chesler Cabernet Franc Merlot 2005

50/50 Franc/Merlot. Coming into its own. Still big but not as big as the vintages before this one. Smooth and pleasing. — 10 years ago

Vigna del Noce Barbera d'Asti Barbera 2004

2004. Surprising for a Barbera. Yes, it had acidity, but the acidity had mellowed over the years. Less fruity than a typical Barbera and with more earthiness. Strong with the Funghi pizza at Marta and with the Rabbit Meatballs. Great suggestion by Brian (one of the somms). Also, a good deal: Delectable says the retail price is around $65 for current release and $50 for the 2004. List price at Marta was only $72! — 11 years ago

Columbia Valley Rosé Blend 2014

William Allen - Two Shepherds
9.0

amazing Rhone rosè from @garagiste_wine for $10!Would be a great one at 2x the price. Gorgeous watermelon flesh color, nose of fresh cherries, tomato Vine, strawberry. Great balance of acid and fruit with lingering finish, would pair well with a wide array of summer fare. Blend of 50% Syrah, 21% Cinsault, 18% Grenache , 6 Counoise, 5% Mourvedre. Sad I bought only 1. — 10 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1959

OMG--this old
#Latour is so massive that you could eat it with a fork!
One of the greatest vintages of the 20th century, and, even now, this wine has years of life ahead of it!
And to think that I used to work in a wine shop that had cases piled up ten high priced at $50 per bottle!

Fine Old Rare Sherry Palo Cortado de Jerez 1/50 Vides Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

Tip top quality. Dark and dirty tones on the nose lead to an eyeopening showcase of depth of flavor carried with such grace and softness. Pure artistry and craftmanship. Homerun, slamdunk, hole in one. — 11 years ago
