Chiusa di Pannone Sagrantino di Montefalco

Wonderful Sagrantino with big, smooth tannins. Rustic but elegant, like the wonderful countryside of Umbria. — 6 years ago

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2013

Low yields in Northern Rhône 2013, but the quality of the fruit is prevalent here. Structured and well-integrated fine grained tannins at the five year mark. The nose explodes out of the glass with finesse and doused complexities. Definitive Syrah nuances of black raspberries, black plums, black olives, fresh cut violets, cracked black pepper, Indian spices, grilled and smoked meats, and stone dust. Light weight but packs a continuous release of flavors. Nose and palate changes from fruit to floral to spicy to meaty. As you move to different areas and rooms the wine changes. The more air it gets, the more meat starts hanging out. Complex indeed for a $20 bottle. Great showing. — 7 years ago

Grappoli del Grillo

One of a kind Grillo. Went away for a week with a half a bottle left in fridge. Came home and it was still fantastic if not deeper in flavour and more balanced. Serious stuff. Big structure. Tastes of the coast of Sicily. 2011 vintage — 10 years ago

9.2

Base vintage 2015. Disgorged Nov. 2019. Far outperforms for an estate’s basic wine. Relatively full-bodied, complex, and very satisfying. Now I’m interested in exploring their higher qualities. — 5 years ago

Palmes d'Or Brut Champagne Blend 2002

Holly Orchard
9.4

Amazingly rich with delicate bubbles. Full of ripe pear, apple pastry, creme brûlée, toffee, and a touch of cheese rind. The acid is present enough to offset the richness. This is a tête I would buy again! — 8 years ago

Nicolas Potel

Les Gaudichots Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2005

10 years on tasting. Dark and restrained. Clearly good stuff but very cold-blooded. All the class you'd like but completely not there yet. Real quality here — 10 years ago

Kezako Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2018

mmmm. started out super funky, dark juicy fruit, milky. as it sat for a minute it warmed up and got more tannic and chewy. say medium tannin, balanced by medium acids and dryness. definitely bolder but not overwhelmingly so. super enjoyable. i love seb david ❤️ — 6 years ago

Looooooved this. So bouncy and so pine-y! I drank it cold, like past the point of chilled, because no wine fridge or central air, and I thought it was perfect that way? — 7 years ago

Had this at mockingbird in Oakland. Loved it. Some floral notes also slightly peppery. Fairly full bodied — 8 years ago

Marco Abella

Loidana Priorat Carignan Grenache 2010

Very well-balanced. But I wish it was a bit fuller-bodied. Sort of like how it's cool to see a gymnast standing one footed on the beam, but would be far more impressive to see an Hillary do it.
90 points

-UPDATE: this thing opened up really nicely over an hour or so (I was distracted from my drinking, usually it's all gone quicker than that).
