Some specials on today at the Chelsea lounge at JFK. Thought I’d ask and look what we got. It doesn’t have as much of the typical Dom taste for me and it is still very very young, definitely still a baby. Great nose and packs a lot of citrusy flavors - they will certainly mellow over the years. Not a bad rendition, not quite hitting the super high marks with me right now, but very pleasant early p.m. bubbly on this holiday — 4 months ago

Bordeaux blend in Italy! Really nice wine, but I wouldn't known it was from Italy. Super Tuscan. — 11 years ago
Now this felt like a typical 03’. Ripe and plush, I thought it was a 07’ left bank Bordeaux. Close enough? Haha. Dusty, leathery, and still-oaky nose, with a blackberry jam-like character which treads on drying out. Also notes of coffee and some herbs. It does feel quite Cabernet-dominant on the nose although it’s not. On the palate, it was very rich and even fat at times. The tannins were mouth-filling and sticky which stumped me a little (felt a little Merlot-like, yet not), but made sense upon reveal. Can’t say I enjoyed this much, but it’s definitely got complexity and substance. I’d need the right food pairing to enjoy this. — 4 months ago

I will start with how perfectly it’s matching with my meal of broccoli rabe with sausage. I’m. Fan of Sangiovese blends and this will please many. Medium bodied, lovely balance of berry and herbs/spices. flavors. Beautiful Ruby color — 8 months ago
An interesting Tuscan Merlot, only produced in outstanding years, deep Ruby with aromas of black berry fruits, sweet spice and herb spice. On the palate flavors of blueberry and sweet cherry with vanilla, sweet tobacco and smoky oak. Fine elegant tannins, long finish ending with fruit and mineral character. Very nice!! — 3 years ago
This bottle was opened and stoppered for two days and the age really brought this wine into its own!! See my previous tasting notes. — 9 years ago

Cheap and cheerful Italian red from Trader Joes. A blend that's primarily Sangiovese, it's pretty subtle and doesn't leave that powerful red tang on the finish. Slightly dry, certainly not complex, but quaffable. — 11 years ago
