From magnum. Switching in between the 2016 cab and this Rhone blend, I actually like this better. Though not overly complex, the delicious red and blue fruits, gentle acidity, and silky tannins were seamless. Throwing in the sense of earth, here we have a subtle and elegant bottle. — 6 years ago
Spectacular. The first truly great rye I've had. Balance, mouthfeel, complex aromatics and a solid finish. I'd prefer more heat, but that's just me. — 7 years ago

Superlativo, dopo un lungo affinamento rende il meglio di sé, profumi e gusto inteso lasciano il palato stupefatto. — 7 years ago

Found this at machete. We asked for a robust red with a smooth finish and he brought out two choices. Both were good this was the best: — 4 years ago
Young and should have never ordered this along side of Haut Brion. It was a distant back up to the Chateau Margaux, which sold just before we could lock it down! Probably above average by itself, but tonight it was mediocre with the other wines. — 7 years ago
Great amarone. Classic, but a modernized version. Super complex, and multi-layered. Does not feel so overpowering, as some other amarone. It drank easier, without sacrificing the body. — 7 years ago

Spezie moltissimo pepe. Tannico. Molto. Manca di freschezza e sapidità. Molto secco. Profumo intenso di spezie. Lo trovo particolarmente intenso di spezie e manca un po' di frutto. Cmq ottimo ! Carnale e ferrico. — 4 years ago
The 15’ bottling sees Petit Verdot leading this Bordeaux blend at 32%, with 26% CS, 26% Merlot, 13% CF, and 3% Malbec.
Complex and deep nose of blackberry, cassis, fig, dry pine cone, dark soy source, butterscotch, thyme, black pepper, with hint of violet. The palate, while delicious and smooth, lacks the depth I expected. Finely grained tannins lead to a long peppery finish.

Disgracefully good. A gift for the evening from @David L and his lovely wife Kristen - thank you so much my friends 😍. Never tasted this before, but am mesmerized now... With every sip, this evolves like a chameleon. Texture, weight and acidity are all in lock-step. Agree with RP on this. Perfection in a glass. — 7 years ago

Chard/ Sauv Blanc from the North. It’s all about the blanched almonds, marzipan, & stone fruits. Medium acidity. Has a rather stoic, even severe quality which begs for some off setting zany food. — 3 years ago
