Rubiolo Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2013

.
9.1

When does a grape taste like a cherry? When it's fresh Sangiovese from Chianti. This one is cherries galore, with a pleasant whisper of funk showing up with extended air. $15 never tasted so good. — 10 years ago

Château Lassolle

Le Blanc qui Tente Côtes du Marmandais Sémillon

Think Bordeaux Blanc with a twist. 100 year old semillon vines, minimal/no SO2 additions. All texture and weight with a whisper of white flowers, yellow apple and touch of herbs. — 10 years ago

Pierro

Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2003

edging senility but so good right now, especially after 45 minutes of air, reveals earthy delights of wet potters' clay, dried basil, cedar, graphite shavings with an unexpected whisper of dark chocolate dust all wrapped up in a palate showing spice, with a unique balsamic & toast presence that slides to a lip smacking finish. — 11 years ago

Bodega del Abad

Carracedo Bierzo Mencía 2007

Cool berry and a whisper of earthy funk. Fine firm tannins and a bit if cocoa on the finish. Sneaky acid. Drinks at or maybe above its price point. Glad I have more. — 12 years ago

Really great Chardy! But a whisper of oak, decent malo and a great long finish. A great stand alone wine or perfect with a light dish. — 10 years ago

Les Journaries Côte-Rôtie Syrah

A tiny whisper of brett? Maybe. Maybe not. What matters here is a silky texture and an evolving and complex palate of flavors. A delicious and versatile wine. True to its place. Paired well with both pork and beef tonight. At 12.5 abv an almost dangerously easy bottle. Great to become with this producer. — 11 years ago

Moutard Pere et Fils

Cuvée des 6 Cépages Brut Champagne 2004

Dark color that is reflected in the nose and on the palate. The aromas of dried lemon and lemon sourdough predominate, but there is also a snippet of lemon verbena and jackfruit, dried apricots, pumpkin, dried mango, dried papaya and a Flemish red beer streak! The lemon and beer notes are evocative of a brew room after cleanup, but a honey note in a spring grove plants you firmly outside. Plenty of sunshine here, and tangerines in a basket with fresh bread. Medium to heavy mouthfeel, and blood orange, grapefruit, lemon drops, grapefruit pith, limestone and a dried grass and chalky lemon pith finish that is exemplary. A writhing, evolving spectacle that boasts the intermittent Apple cider vinegar whisper without offense. Tannins abound, along with lemoncello custard. — 11 years ago

Echézeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1993

Very good. Youthful, almost under developed. gorgeous strawberry and blackberry fruit. Very lifted. Mid palate as sexy as they come but lacking a whisper of definition compared to the two DRC Grand Ech's either side. Quibbling though..., clearly the best flight so far — 10 years ago

Ripe del Falco Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore Riserva Gaglioppo

This was a perfect moment for this wine. My 1yr wedding anniversary, 10/06/2014. Ippolito 1996 Ripe Del Falco Riserva. Ripe tart cherry, figs and forest grace the stage and hints if cedar whisper in the background. Galioppo at its finest! — 11 years ago
