The Society's Vinho Verde Grüner Veltliner Blend

Basarin Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2012

Sweet, vegetative Earth and forceful tannin. So similar to a Barolo, and in exhibition of Piedmont's high structure. — 7 years ago

Domaine Le Clos des Cazaux

The Society's Exhibition Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend 2014

The nose could almost be a white wine with a hint of tropical fruits perhaps (I've maybe been drinking the South American reds too much as of late), however, a great dark fruit flavour with medium finish. Good balance. Easy to drink on it's own but I think would suit a peppered steak with salted fries (must try that...) — 7 years ago

The Wine Society

The Society's French Dry White Blend 2015

Dry, fruity wine from The Wine Society. Usual fantastic value. Great accompaniment to Chicken Kiev. — 8 years ago

Domaine Pierre Gelin

Clos Napoleon Fixin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2011

Continuing on with my burgundy wine area deep dive while making my way through the French Wine Society's master class. Today's class was focused on terroir, as the soils change as you move through the Côte d'Or region. Fixin is towards the north side of the region and this premiere cru was grown up the slope from later Jurassic soils. — 9 years ago

Philip Togni Vineyard

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Still a bit tight but a wonderful wine. Amazing balance. Kirsch dominates the nose and blackberries and licorice are present on the mid palate. Tannins are very well integrated. Great exhibition of Spring Mountain fruit with balance. — 10 years ago

I would think it'd be opening up by now. Off menu or your cellar?

Cellar. Togni makes really age worthy wines. Not too tannic but had good stuffing. Expect this is will shine in another 3-4 years but enjoyable now.

Stefano Bartoli

The Society's Exhibition Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2010

Matté
9.0

£11.50 Wine Society Forward, bright cocktail cherry with a pretty perfume along with fresh vanilla pod and kola nut. In the mouth this shows great weight across the palate, full and forward red berry fruit with a nice lick of acidity on the end, will certainly benefit food with a tomato sauce! 90pts — 10 years ago

Bodegas Alejandro Fernández

Dehesa La Granja Tempranillo 2008

Paired nicely with local wild mushroom pizza. Inky red, highly extracted pigment, too dense to assess clarity. Black currant, herb, eucalyptus and maybe violet notes in nose. Black currant tartness and flavor with length, eucalyptus in mouth, soft mouthfeel. Slight seed bitterness, minimal skin tannins left. A pleasure to drink, an interesting exhibition of Tempranillo’s varietal character — 6 years ago

Weingut Günther Steinmetz

Mülheimer Sonnenlay Spätlese Riesling 1994

Petrol perfume, then a great depth of juicy exotic fruit on palate with a lengthy finish. Aromatically this wine might tempt some people to question if the wine is off, but for Riesling lovers it's an exhibition. — 11 years ago

Sine Qua Non

Poker Face Syrah 2004

So tonite, I’m enjoying two great artists: Miles Davis, “Kind Of Blue,” 1959, and Manfred Krankl, “Poker Face,” 2004. My all-time favorite Jazz recording (consolation prize to Chet Baker), and my knock down, drag out, unwavering all-time favorite Non-barrel aged SQN Syrah. Fairly bold statement, right? Plenty of great SQN Syrah over the years. But none that over-stimulate the olfactory senses, and catapult the taste buds to warp speed every single time I pull the cork. 15.5% alcohol. Impenetrably dark, opaque, achromatic, inky, motor oil appearance. Off the charts aromatic exhibition of incense, spice box, black pepper, Blackberry liqueur, wet stones and floral notes. Similar palate profile. Definitely fruit driven complexity, but less noticeable oak this time along with some developing nuances of mushroom, forest floor and roasted game. Pure silk texture. Positively chewy. Concentrated and dense, yet subtle and nuanced. A huge wine that’s light on its feet. Stopwatch still running on the finish. Miles and Manfred. Always pushing the envelope, but still instantly recognizable styles. Art transcends genres. “Dedicated to M’s adopted Brother.” — 7 years ago

Poker Face is one of my all time fav SQN's. Enjoy the intersection of talent and California wine at its best.

Hi Roman, Sounds like this is not fading away just yet. I still have a couple left. You often decant, did you for this? Thanks! Joe

@Joseph Barsky Only decanted for about an hour. Probably could have used more since the Wine continued to evolve over the course of the evening.

The Society's Private Cuvée Brut Champagne

Start of Christmas Celebrations. Excellent value champagne from the Wine Society. Extra creaminess from oak fermentation (fairly unusual, although Krug uses this method). Brioche, baked apple, lemon zest. — 7 years ago
