Old World Spirits

Enderle & Moll

Liaison Pinot Noir 2013

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Vosges... It's a weird experience for me; it's like a hybrid of California and the old world. Seems high pH/soft and the oak is sweet, even if they are second fill barrels. Maybe the sandstone is a big part of it? Interesting and tasty wine for sure — 10 years ago

Mastroberardino

Radici Taurasi Aglianico 2008

The Barolo of the south, more or less. One of the better Taurasis I've tried. Mouthful of old world acidity and tannin balanced by wonderful new world earthiness and fruit. — 10 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 1998

Old world style from 98. Rock candy nose, slight funk mid palate and gorgeously round finish. Drinking well, very well. Delish. — 10 years ago

Napa Valley Claret Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

If you want new world power and old world balance, this hits the mark. Dark cassis, black olive, dried herbs and flowers, great acidity and length. — 10 years ago

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Ripe cassis, sweet roasted paprika, open, generous and utterly satisfying. A clear representative of NW-cabernet, but with a definite classical Old-World edge. Loved it. 95/100 — 11 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Viña Alberdi Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2007

Too good for the money! A text book example of the quality Old World wines can produce when using newer technology and Old World Instincts. 100% Tempranillo A must try from La Rioja Alta. — 10 years ago
