Balance from nose to finish for a young Barolo, wow. An elegant Barolo, and by elegant I'm talking graceful fruit nicely balanced by brooding characters of the fine. Black Cherry, fresh cut spring flowers, aged leather, black tea, and tobacco. More medium than heavy but notable in depth that I expect to grow exponentially with 5-15 more years. Massive QPR for the great 2010 vintage. — 9 years ago

Deep in color and fragrant on the nose, this dark ruby red from Sicily offers a powerful set of aromas: cassis, black olives, cigar box, leather, anise and smoke all come around fairly quickly. This is one of those wines I run across from time to time that smells so good I almost forget to drink it. Almost. The palate is dark and savory. Blackberry and black plum are the most notable fruit flavors, but the Morgante is all about the trimmings. There is a muddy forest floor component and, if you are new to wine, rest assured that it’s a good thing. Minerality comes in abundance and there is a hint of sage there, too, with notes of tea, coffee and root beer finding their way through. — 10 years ago

Very rich on the nose, notable oxidation and butteriness. Much crisper on the palate, tons of green apple and pear. Amazing for a non-vintage and the price point. — 9 years ago

18+. 2004. Deep ruby, little sign of age. Deep and complex nose, unmistakeable mature Sangiovese. Full, concentrated. Soft, tannins resolved. Especially notable on back palate. Very long. Fine. — 9 years ago

Big opulent buttery style. Toasted, mineral laden too. Pineapple, peachy and sweet orchard Apple. Not overtly powerful, some underlying grace, but still quite forward. Leesy, creamy, toasty, stone fruited, nutty almond touches. Acid is the notable thing, it livens up the somewhat powerful texture. Good — 10 years ago

1979. Cellar memento from our earliest days in Spain. Elegant cedar nose with notable Cabernet influence. Firm on palate, softening and lengthening with air. Argues for the supremacy of Valbuena vs. Unico with time. — 11 years ago

2012 Dundee Hills Chardonnay from @DurantVineyards 20+ year old clones give this beauty of a #Chardonnay notable depth and an elegant texture. Crisp fruits, minerals and vibrant acidity are the core of a good Oregon Chardonnay - all captured beautifully in this lovely wine. — 11 years ago

Mori's 2013 Chianti is dark and deeply expressive, with notable richness, density and aromatic nuance. Black cherry, hard candy, pomegranate, cloves, lavender, new leather and spice abound in a superb, beautifully crafted Chianti that hits all the right notes. (AG) — 9 years ago

Dry, smooth, nuts, and a notable absence of green fruit. A wonderful champagne for toasting, cheeses, or even taco party pairings. (Please read dragons love tacos before criticizing). — 10 years ago

A meaty, manly Bordeaux. Lots of notable minerality, iron, graphite, and the pleasantries of cigar box. Showing nicely. — 11 years ago

8.9

With an odd nose of latex, green apple and cinnamon, this wine opens up with balance, refreshing acidity, buttery notes, and a notable liveliness. Highly recommend this drinkable #Malbec. — 11 years ago

I have never had such a delicious dry wine! Made in the Vouvray region of France, it is notable for being an atypical wine of the region. It was made because the the season was too cold. It is a dry wine, incredibly smooth, and a full, round taste in the mouth. Goes well with everything, in my opinion! — 13 years ago
