This seemed to be in a perfect spot showing red & black fruit, graphite, cedar, sweet savory spice, leather & tobacco — 25 days ago
Champagne tasting 🍾: 45 Chardonnay / meunier — 5 days ago
Medium deep garnet core , medium wide garnet rim . This shows very well still with some sous bois , dried herbal hints and cherry . On the palate this shows good freshness , red cherry again, freshly cut herbs , touch of tobacco and black tea . Balanced acidity and lightly dusty but resolved tannins . Good length and presence on the palate , with enough fruit still , good balance and a black tea stained finish. This is at peak , and will probably stay here for a few more years , so no immediate rush, but is unlikely to improve further . — a month ago
Fantastic red for a great dinner — 11 days ago
A good wine. Oak, a bit of chocolate, dark fruit and cherry. Pretty dry but smooth enough that easy to drink. — a month ago

Faustino I Blanco Gran Reserva 2019 — 3 days ago
I asked for a jammy red and that’s what this is !! Not super into these “commercialized” wines, but it does the job for easy drinking. Yum — 8 months ago
Strawberry, red candy, plum and eucalyptus. Feminine and polished.
Drink now. — 14 days ago
Thought we’d had our last bottle 4 years ago but then found this one. Probably better then, but still very nice. Definitely quite secondary, but the core of fruit and acid carries through. Wonderful pairing with dry aged strip steaks and wild mushroom risotto for our 10 year anniversary. — 24 days ago

2 hour decant. Shredded cork. Filtered the wine.
Wow. This was just gorgeous and smooth. Tannins very well integrated and the fruit was excellent.
One of my favorite vintages with some age — 23 days ago
