Badia A Passignano Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2001

Quite deep ruby , with a wide garnet rim, quite young looking. Dried herbs , smoked meat , red cherry, violets , liquorice and antique furniture polish notes . On the palate quite round and rich, sweet red fruits , with that herbal tinge , those liquorice and charcuterie notes also evident . This in fact still shows well a day later , still quite full and rich , with red plum and black cherry notes . Quite good acidity , with quite gritty tannins, balanced alcohol . Decent length . This is very good now though no rush , mature but will continue to show well for a while longer , from now over the next 5 years . Another T Wright Wine choice … see my De Fieuzal 1994 note — 4 months ago

Really nice cab here, if you can find it, buy it. I have one more bottle of this, i think i will wait for it to age some more than guzzle like a lost hiking victim thirsty for a drink. — 9 years ago

2017 vintage was solid. Great with charcuterie. For the price not a bad choice. — 4 months ago

Castello di Ama

Gran Selezione San Lorenzo Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2017

Too young but still very nice with a 5h decant - suggest checking back in another 3-5 years. Tannins are very present, but the fruit and earth are very nice. Good acid too, especially for a hot vintage. — 5 months ago

Herederos del Marques de Riscal Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2012

Barnyard funk on open. Soily. Wet leather. Needs time to expand. Time that I didn't afford it. Quite better than my last time with this. 2012 vintage offers more weight and heft. Very good.

Monte Real Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 1964

At first we thought it was corked. After about an hour it started kicking off and probably with more time would even excel. Black and red cherry notes with earthy - leathery spices. Light, soft and balanced tannins. High rate for its age. — 7 years ago

Gran Reserva Serie Riberas Ribera del Tinguiririca Cabernet Sauvignon

Nose: fig and Asphalt and earth

Taste: candid walnut up front? plum and berry, very fruit forward in the middle. Finishes spicy! Love the prickling sensation as the berry fades.

this is the 2013 not 2011 (photo incorrect)
