Pure, elegant fruit - more swing than funk if that makes any sense — 9 years ago

Fully developed and perhaps slightly on its down swing, but still a lot to love about this wine. Really burgundian nose with pounding tertiary aromas. Decaying earth, wet bark, canned mushrooms, dried flowers, berries with baking spice and that unnamable "funk" that calls back to its french heritage. Acid and structure holding together like a weathered but elegant victorian home. Its everything i love about pinot — 9 years ago

It must be the season. It’s time for another cracking Shiraz. Again a very fruit forward style. This time with lashings of mulberry and raspberry predominating on the palate. Lacking a little mid-palate complexity, even after a 3 hour decant. Just hints of dark chocolate bitterness and black olive before the fine but drying tannins take over, driving a long finish. Not too dissimilar in style to Hannah’s Swing, just not as well composed. Nice, but not outstanding. — 10 years ago

Still very young, but opening nicely to tart cherry, blood/iron minerality and black raspberry on the nose. With roasted chicken it's gonna swing! — 11 years ago

Pale greeny gold. Lemony apple with a swing of incense, dry, good acidity, delightfully well balanced twixt fruit and acidity. Excellent with lemon baked mackerel. — 12 years ago

This bottle just plain rocked it out. Like when you adjust your golf swing, and the next thing you know every drive is long and straight and there's lots of birdies. You don't want the round to end, but eventually it does. — 9 years ago

Near perfect. The #blancdeblancs from Mumm Napa age so beautifully, especially out of #magnums! Some fresh citrus notes, but smells and flavors of a bakery in full swing dominate, toasty almond and slightly burnt baguette. I have been waiting to #saber this wine for a while, my sons birthday was the perfect occasion. — 9 years ago

Finally a bottle of PYCM at the table. Part-time micro-négociant since 2001, but in full swing since he left the company of his father (Marc Colin) in 2005. Lovely Saint-Aubin villages - 50+ year old vines. When the cork came of the scent of the wine was a bit soapy, but that blew of really quick. Elegant wine, nice breadth, pointy citric finish. — 10 years ago

Nectar of angels indeed! 2011 shows much better than previous years. Good to see this baby Amarone, back in full swing. Bright to black, light to dark to bright flavor profile. It's like Jedi molecules are hashing it out on my palette. . Yum. — 10 years ago

Gorgeous. Just fine combo of funk and fineness and line and length like a great Glenn McGrath over with a bit of Damien Flemings out swing to keep the batsman guessing. Tops — 10 years ago

Stunning for its finesse contrasted by remarkable elegance, the 2010 Cerbaiona provides a bouquet of lifted red fruits, exotic spice, provincial herbs, and pretty red floral tones. The textures were silky and refined, hovering on the palate, with notes of fresh savory herbs, green olive, and ripe black cherry, which seemed to swing back and forth from sweet to savory. A coating of fine tannin saturated the senses with hints of cherry and herbs on the long finish. — 10 years ago

The 2009 Kings Row is an interesting wine with rich tobacco, cherry and licorice aromas. This has a lusciously smooth taste of the red fruit, pencil shavings with a slight hint of spices that lingers on your palate makes this a nice guilty pleasure. It is costly and a nice treat but there are others out there that have a better value to quality ratio for those that don't want to drop big bucks. But if you can swing it please treat yourself. #kingsrow #calistoga #checkerboard — 10 years ago

2011 Barboursville Vineyards Vermentino. The 2011 vintage was a rough one in Virginia, but amidst & from it, Luca Pascina added just the right amount of neutral oak to bookend what may very well become a new staple for Virginia collectors and international connoisseurs as well. You watch. When the more zesty, ripe, stainless-produced 2012's come along make sure to give it a swing. Specially with linguine in clam sauce. Oy. — 13 years ago
