A tasty Napa Bordeaux blend, well made, slightly high toned and pushing the acidic side of the spectrum. That’s said, was quite enjoyable, but there are certainly others that are at least comparable if not better at this price point. — 5 years ago
17+/20 (92+/100) Аромат чернослива, черешни, шоколада и легкой нотой кожи. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и молодыми, но не грубыми танинами. Отлично! #capewine2018 — 7 years ago
Very drinkable. Paired well with fish, pork and beef. Crowd-pleaser — 7 years ago
Approaching purple. Blackberries, blueberries, oak. Very lush on the nose but quickly shortened by staunch tannins on the palate. Really great stuff but will be better in time as it mellows and stretches out its finish. — 8 years ago
Very fresh, smooth, fruity but not sweet — 8 years ago
It is a beast of a wine and yet it is approachable. Tannic but sweet tannins, full bodied, black fruits, mineral with a super long finish. The leather, gamey, Forrest floor undercurrent is starting to develop but will need another 5 years. A hedonistic bomb. Will give you pleasure for another 10 to 15 years easy. — 5 years ago
Wow, big blackberry black cherry nose and flavours with light oak and leather on the palate. Nice long finish with smooth tannins. Very nice blend. 43% merlot, 41 cab, 9 cab franc, 4 petit verdot and 3 syrah. — 7 years ago

This was top 10 chardonnays for me. Buttery, creamy but not a butter bomb. Drank this with the Baer’s in Lake Bluff thanks to Scott Garrett — 8 years ago

The last bottle of my 2012 Vosne Romanée from Alain Hudelot Noëllat and its a wonderful show that it manage to put up. Like a grand dame in its golden years bit with a hell of a spirit its displaying evolving characters of dried strawberries, rose petals, blood orange and menthol that is backed up by a prominent choir of nutmeg, clove, truffles, wet stones and forrest floor. Fresh palate with very present but smooth tannins, an expansive palate as the encore slowly fades out in a very respectful and balanced finish.
Day 2 tasting and its pumped up, more nuanced, defined and dresses up to its teeth in elegance. The last bottle of six will leave its mark for sure. Divine! — 5 years ago
Quality check on Le Raganie Brunello di Montalcino 2013 and what a showstopper, starting off a bit shy but evolves into a layered complexity with plenty of finesse, with four hours in the decanter its hard to raise your nose from the glass. Red, very vibrant fruit is backed up by dried spices and pronounced but balanced savoury complexity of forrest floor and crushed stones. A subtle volatile lift brings further complexity. Fresh palate with, fine grained tannins and a tactile sensation that brings the wine throughout its long finish. Not Brunello, its a trademark Ragnaie! — 6 years ago
16.5+/20 (90+/100) Вино с ароматами спелой сливы, черешни и нотой молочного шоколада. Тельное с мощными танинами и умеренной кислотностью. Ягодное во вкусе. Молодо. #capewine2018 — 7 years ago
