Wow, fantastic pull, @Peter van den Besselaar!!!

Château Fortia

Cuvée du Baron Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2020

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, bitter herbs, spices, light vegetables and black tea.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 5 year old GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is elegant and nicely balanced. Not as big as I expected it to be.

Complex, soft and elegant. Precise and inviting.

Robert Parker 92 points. Wine Spectator 94 points.

Easy drinking now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

A blend of 45% Grenache, 45% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$50.

Gran Passione Rosso Veneto Corvina Merlot 2022

I’ve posted on this 2022 a few times previously, wanted to compare it to the 2023 we also had, this is much better than the newer 2023, more depth and complexity, longer finish, very fine $15 wine!! — 6 months ago

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Les Tourelles de Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

After 10 years in the bottle, a decidedly savory second wine from this storied Second Growth château. Meaty, almost Northern Rhône character after uncorking. After a day in wine fridge the charcuterie notes ease a bit, blackberry, stewed cassis start to edge forward, classic #pauillac graphite and mineral notes that carry through on palate. Lovely tension on the palate and persistent fine tannins through the finish. — 5 months ago

Juvé y Camps

Gran Reserva de la Familia Brut Nature Cava Blend 2020

A perfect bubbly for Christmas brunch. Fantastic, actually! Dry and lean, frothy bubbles, apples, pears, toasted almonds, marzipan. Merry Christmas friends!

Ruffino

Riserva Ducale Oro Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2021

Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark fruits, spice and toasty oak. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and plum with spice, herbs, cacao, tobacco and toasty tones from 18 months of oak aging. Full ripe tannins you can bite into, long finish ending with fruit and an earthy toasty spice character. Nice! Will age! — 6 months ago

Gran Moraine

Yamhill-Carlton Pinot Noir 2021

Delicious. Notes of tobacco, raspberry, plum, cocoa, dessert, and tar on the nose. Medium-plus bodied with a palate to match. Subtle tannins balance a rich, fruit-forward palate. Tons of red and purple fruit. Deep, dark Pinot Noir that’s still light enough to sip or pair with food. — 6 months ago

@Anthony De Blasi good question. Firstly I think the wines from Fontodi are young or old always excellent. We had a 2010 Flaccionello a few months ago that felt like it could have been just a few years old so I think you still have time. Always difficult to know when to pull that cork but regardless you will enjoy it!
