Olga Raffault

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2013

Fresh, zippy black currants and game. Pretty tannic still. — 7 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 1992

Given the difficult vintage, this was still pretty tasty. Very elegant, somewhat subdued, but still held some freshness. Dried strawberries and fresh lavender. — 9 years ago

Arianna Occhipinti

SP68 Terre Siciliane Nero d'Avola Frappato 2013

Big spice, rose petal, cherry, artificial fruit, and a hint of tar on the nose. Great spice, med-tannin, and dried/fresh fruit on the palate. Interesting wine. — 11 years ago
