Excellent! Tangerine, cantaloupe, and a hint of lemon grass and peach. A burst of flavor! — 4 years ago

Foho Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2012

This is my last bottle of this superb CCR. All sorts of secondary and tertiary scents found on. Gravel, sandstone, roasted herbs, almost a eucalyptus thing, iodine, macerated dark cherry, exotic spice market. Perfectly balanced in the mouth, with great acids and flavors that still seem youthful despite being 8 years old. Great stuff. — 4 years ago

Oakville Proprietary Red 2015

24 hours off the truck and I couldn’t wait any longer after seeing @David L ‘s post and high score. The blend is BONKERS but it pays off - 44% Cabernet Franc (To Kalon)/44% Petit Verdot (VHR)/12% Cabernet Sauvignon (To Kalon). Deep purple (the color is stunning) and rich and viscous in the glass, gobs of dark red fruit, leather, baking spice with a striking mineral core and sweet tannins. Full bodied with a very long finish. Totally unique, totally delicious and totally gone. — 6 years ago

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2011

Аромат очень сладкий, десертный, изюмный, черносливовый, сладко-табачный, цветочный, богатый. Вкус полностью соответствует аромату, сладковатый, несколько алкогольный, очень насыщенный, сухофруктный и дружелюбный. Несколько "попсово", но очень мило. 16.5/20 (91/100) — 10 years ago

The fruit from this wine is coming from the Tierra Roja vineyard, bordering Dalla Valle. In my experience, 2015s are very concentrated and because of that, can often be coiled up. This may be the winner for most coiled. Unyielding even after double decanting for around two hours. Aromatically, you get a sense of the profile with a mix of red, blue and black fruits, cinnamon, scorched earth, and peppercorns but it shuts down hard on the palate. Flavors are a bit muted and it’s obviously tannic, with crunchy black cherries , clay, herbs, dust and high percentage dark cocoa. If opening now, I’d decant for 8+ hrs, but better yet, hold for 5+ yrs.
