Wow. Very “Posh”. A pleasant surprise. Rose, apple, cran, hint of clove and oak. Soft tannins, but tannins. Soft. Enjoyable. — 4 years ago

Buccella

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

To ring in my 1,000th Delectable wine review I wanted to open up something particular posh and opulent. Needless to say, this 2009 Buccella is about as perfect as I expected. Sexy fine grain tannins, plush red/black fruits, baking spices, Christmas spice cake, traces of menthol, licorice, creme de cassis, all laced in suave new oak. This is an awesome wine. — 6 years ago

@Ken Z I certainly have. I’m a bit of stickler for stemware so I have a fleet of glassware I like to experiment with for a multitude of wine styles and varietals. I’m a firm believer that the proper glass can help make all the difference.

@Ken Z In addition (meant to say it in my last) I tried the Buccella in a Riedel Cab stem later last night after having initially tried it in the Zalto Burg. The aromatics certainly were different but I found the perfume to be more balanced in the Burg, interestingly enough.

I cant speak to the scent, but I generally find the tannins more pronounced, and the fruit less so when drinking cab from a Burgundy stem, although this probably would not matter as much with a California wine.

Clos Saint Jean

La Combe des Fous Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

This is effing delicious. Day 1: Heady on the nose, layers of raspberry/strawberry confiture, mulberry, sous bois, lavender, roasted fig, sweet spices, potpourri and rocks. Palate is so dense, layer upon layer of berries, garrigue, spices, mocha, licorice, black minerals, and crushed flowers. Like drinking velvet, opulent and sexy, crazy long finish. Day 2: the textural richness of this wines grew with air. Even more richness and posh on the palate. Nose unraveled, aromas of animal, leather, savory earth, sarsaparilla, and rich umami accents popped up. On the palate the wine shed some of its alcoholic edge and began to express those rich notes of coffee, cocoa, leather, and the deep layers of fruit grew. A purely hedonistic experience for S. Rhône drinkers. — 8 years ago

Blackbird Vineyards

Illustration Proprietary Merlot Blend 2010

Heady. Lusty. Posh wine with a few seductively abrasive nips. So many black currant jam tarts garnished with greens and someone was eating it while writing thrash poetry with a number two pencil nearby. Got it? — 6 years ago

Love the note. I usually don’t randomly throw our winery recommendations, but you should checkout Perliss and Wingspan. The wines are made by Aaron Pott and are exceptional. Anthony Perliss handles his family’s eponymous label, while his sister Tessa oversees their Wingspan label, which includes both a rosé and a red Zinfandel.

Chocolate, warm cherries, mocha, patisserie, cream, rubber, coffee, some alcoholic heat. Rich, broad, modern, new oak bitterness. Very luxury and posh and chocolate-y.

Petillant Natural Dabiki White Blend 2017

Israeli pet Nat with dabuki, an indigenous grape in the blend.

Had the 2016 vintage a while ago. Progress is here, this is 2017.
2018 was released but my wine shop still lives in the past...

11.5% ABV

Strong yellow with tiny tiny bubbles 👀

Started lemon-ish but as it got warmer it was more stinky cheese factory with a horse stable next door 👃

Medium body.
High acidity.

Tiny Bubbles attack then funkness with lemon and added grapefruit bitterness 👄

Light and pleasant 🎯 with creaminess lingering.

A very pleasant one!
Made better impression on guests than yesterday's posh old vintage sparkling rose...

Excellent vfm (69 nis).
Better then 2016 vintage. Need to check 2018 now.

paired lovely with bread, butter and stinky cheese plate.
And some hummus, tahini , tomato salsa and jahnun. Great with bold food...

Hot toddy’s, creme brûlée where you can see the black vanilla bean remnants. The feeling you must feel sitting on a deep comfy velvet couch in a palace. Sherry poured into colorful vintage glasses on a foggy sunday at tea time at your great aunts posh apartment. Structured and homey at the same time. — 7 years ago

On the nose, posh leather and ripe black fruits stand out. On the mouth, it is sweet and rounded. Good finish. The wine has evolved and it's easy to drink but it still has many years ahead of it. It got better towards the end and managed to hold the drinkers' interest throughout the meal. — 8 years ago

Weingut Keller

Kirchspiel Riesling 2013

This marvelous bottle became the centerpiece of our meal on Saturday night at this posh, rather over-embellished Italian restaurant (one star Michelin) whose heavy sauces cried out for a strong foil that could offset their intense richness--#Keller to the rescue once again--this vibrant, mineral-driven 2013 #KIRCHSPIEL, aided by decanting, saved an otherwise lackluster experience--BRAVO! — 9 years ago
