PnP at a friend's house. Wonderful nose of blackberry, black currant, dried blueberries, cedar, eucalyptus, and tobacco that keeps intensifying with time in the glass. Full body with fully-integrated tannins and a long complex finish that fluctuates between black fruits, organic earth, and eucalyptus. Everything about this wine is in perfect harmony right now but it still has plenty of life left. — 6 years ago

Fully complete Rancia bottling; beautifully secondary with dried red fruits and figs. Slight pliancy keeps some of its sex appeal at almost 20 years — 8 years ago

Still young and taught. Spent an hour in the decanter and want fully fleshed out yet. Probably needs a couple more years in bottle before hitting the classic Rioja beauty — 8 years ago

A great wine when you analyze it. Integrated tannins, lush body, fruity, fully rounded, and velvety finish. — 9 years ago

Sauvignin from Switzerland. The Jura fiend in me is very excited. Not as oxidized as a typical Jura, but certainly has notes of hazelnut and orange blossom. — 9 years ago

Pommard in Switzerland. Iron, manure, pine needles, and fresh mountain berries. A seriously good wine for the money.👌 — 10 years ago

Tasted blind. Tawny color, translucent with amber rims. Notes of black cherry, cedar, some spice and a little barnyard floor. Sweet fruit in the mouth, with tannins fully resolved. Guessed 1955 Calon Segur. Perfect looking bottle, the cork revealed this bottle was reconditioned by the Chateau in 2000. — 6 years ago

I just love piedmont and this barbaresco was great. Let it breath for 2 hours to fully appreciate it. — 7 years ago

Deep garnet red with ruby core. Tasted blind. Very tight and dark on the nose with dark cocoa, dark spices and soft dark berries. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Very dark palate as well with black cherries, cassis, black currants, dark cocoa and a little woody. Long and lingering finish. Thought this was a bit older than a 2013 but powerful, needs some time to fully develop. Drink till 2032. (93+) — 7 years ago

This wine needed about 3 hours to release. Initially tight with uncomfortable medicinal nose which then totally dissipated. Drinking now next day and you get the age of fully integrated but not fading tannins. Nose has a delightful dark fruit and smokiness. Great fit of nose and taste, meaning - when tastes after smelling the experience is consistent and not jolting. I think the color purple in a subdued way. Very nice. Memo to self: decant and watch for sediment, and enjoy three hours later. — 8 years ago

La Chapelle in all its splendor. Spices, fig paste , reglisse zan, cedar. It's an oriental spice shop. Still needs five years on to fully delivers . — 9 years ago

Tremendous wine, too young and not fully integrated just yet imo, but man when this settles in watch out! — 9 years ago

Carried this back 8 years ago when i visited Bodega the first time. This wine is traditional classic old school Rioja- earthy and fully developed primary nose, soft acid n tannin, haunting finish... 🍷💃 — 10 years ago

An older chinon is rare for me. Fully resolved green tones yielding bay leaf, dried tobacco leaf and persistent high quality fruit in the mid palate. The warm year tannins still present on the finish. Always learning. — 10 years ago

Celebrating our daughters Christmas homecoming after two years. Pipe tobacco drenched in dark dry fruit with an herbal under note of thyme and basil. Earthy organic hints of barnyard. Well integrated tannins. High acid and it took a while before it fully integrated. We decanted it for one hour. Could use two hours. — 5 years ago

The nose is showing its age, gracefully. Raisins and currants on the palette. Fully resolved tannins. Acid is keeping the wine upright. — 8 years ago

Fully mature, showing nicely for an underappreciated vintage. On the herbal/earthy side of things, old style Bordeaux giving plenty of pleasure but few fireworks. — 9 years ago

One of my favorite red wine in Bordeaux. Strong body and silk mouthfeel. Fully strong scents of red fruits taste like cream cheese cake. Soft with power, nice balance! — 9 years ago
