Purchased at South Lyndale — 3 years ago
Enjoyable, solid value Brunello Di Montalcino at €22 across Milan train station. Notes of cherry plum and blackberry fruits combine with a complex mixture of smokey vanilla undergrowth which imparts earthy leather undertones. Medium body. Decent 2hr min, as there are strong tannins (Also probably drinking this a few years young) for a 2014 in 2020. — 4 years ago

Aromas of dark plums, wet leaves, and pencil lead; with added smokey and deep flavors of tobacco, dark chocolate, and maybe a hint of potpourri! The tannins are beefy yet elegant and evolved, and with the bright acidity and high alcohol (14.5%) means this is a “big” Super Tuscan. — 6 years ago
Super Tuscan with Sangiovese and Merlot. Leather on the nose followed by black fruit on the taste. Medium to strong complexity on the mouth feel and finish. I'd definitely order it again. — 7 years ago
Great medium bodied Sangiovese nice dry finish would recommend with pasta dishes with meat — 8 years ago
A perfectly aged Tuscan Cabernet with notes of tobacco, dried cherry, crushed stone and exotic spice. The palate is intense with a twang of tongue curling acidity. Dried fruit and floral tones last long on the finish. — 9 years ago

This Italian white has a most interesting presence in the glass. The pale yellow liquid has a nose which is quite herbaceous, showing notes of sage, anise and oregano. The palate brings forth some citrus fruit - Meyer lemon - and a boatload of minerals and salinity. There is quite a racy acidity, too. Like a good Vermentino should, the wine leaves a sense of the seashore on the finish. — 2 years ago

An interesting and fruity #Syrah. Enjoyed this bottle on an unexpectedly stormy day on the Cape, so it was fitting given the weather. Here, the bottle is pictured posing with a garish sculpture found in our Airbnb. Needless to say, we preferred the bottle to the sculpture. 🗿 — 6 years ago
2015 vintage. Drank in July 2017. $14.55 CAD. Pale to medium yellow with presence of very tiny bubbles. On the nose; fruits and yellow Lifesavers (lemon candy). On the palate: fresh and crisp, pineapple. Very much enjoyed and would buy it again.

chardonnay avec un gout citronné , parfait avec fruits de mers, homard — 9 years ago
Lovely bright sprightly dessert wine. Apple-y? But with lots of complexity beyond sweetness. Maybe orange, figs, almonds. A touch of sherry character. Not quite like anything else. $50 retail. — 10 years ago

Bought in Florence Oct 2019 — 4 years ago
Very well done white wine. It comes from an area where the climate helps building freshness and aromas. Tried cold but very nice also at room temperature. Not only citrus fruit, but also white peach on the nose/palate. — 5 years ago

#consultvi Tímidos ahumados, eróticas ciruelas y jugosos arandanos, cubiertos de pimienta negra y resina de pino. Inquietamente largo y con notas de naranja sanguina, hierba mate y el tanino jugoso de una fruta negra exquisita. Un joven de 30 años nervioso y culto. — 8 years ago
